I’m with Sarah and Levin if they go to another party. This is insane.

Nice picture of Table Mtn. Visited Cape Town a few years ago took the gondola to the top of this flat top mountain, spectacular views. Didn’t make it to Robben Island.

The MSM won’t report it because they know that it’s obscene how much it cost and if they report on it, then they may have to talk about the expense for a vacation for the mooch and the princesses. Oh, and the queen mother too.

Actually, your statement is more true than you might realize.

Many of his financial supporters from 2007 made reservations for similar destinations in Africa about 4 months ago before any of Obama’s itinerary was announced.

They have been patiently awaiting for 6 years for a return on their investment.

Don’t worry, it’s like Obama is still here.

Today I open up the Commentary Section in the Orange County Register and there in Black and White, pardon the pun, is a Barack Obama Op Ed on how he is saving the world from Climate Change.

Hovering, waiting, waiting for the communist to die so he can swoop in and “smear the blood on his shirt”

It appears the Treasury is a bottomless pit for Obama to spend as he sees fit. White House tours remain cancelled because of the sequester, but Obama is free to toss money around like it's going out of style and print.

Interesting to note that GE (Obama donor and non-tax payer company) will benefit from this African deal.

The unholy marriage of GE and President Obama at the altar of industrial policy

General Electric making "bank" off Obama's "green" stimulus monkey: over $3 billion and counting

Tanzania: GE, Symbion to build Tanzania power plant

Two American firms have joined forces to develop the much awaited 400MW gas-fired power plant in Mtwara,the south of Tanzania.However mention was made of the financial details last week.

GE, Clarke Energy supply Jenmbacher engines to Africa biogas plant

Showcasing the growing role of distributed power technologies to meet Africa’s energy needs, GE is supplying U.K.-based energy project developer Clarke Energy with two of its ecomagination qualified Jenbacher J420 biogas engines for a new 2.8 MW agricultural biogas power project at a large vegetable farm near Lake Naivasha in Kenya.-

President Barack Obama's trip to Africa has largely been ignored by the U.S. media, and for good reason: it seems to have no real purpose.

Did Hillary have a reason (other than to get the stamp in her passport)?

A- No. This trip is a $100M boondoggle, and we're stuck paying the bill.

Well isn’t that a surprise. /s

And just think, they get energy while zero is trying to shut ours down. What unfathomable arrogance this psychopath has. Anyone who has a shred of doubt that this guys hates us is an imbecile.

Yep, GE gets payback for donating and we get to have our electricity rates doubling, tripling or more to satiate Barry’s climate change edicts. People still live in huts with no electricity in Africa, so where, pray tell, will the investment go? Also, with rising electricity rates in our future, who would be so stupid as to purchase an electric car?

........................So a significant part of the trip is devoted to the education of Obama’s own family................

Zer0 could have bought a few books, like “What Africa Be About:
For Dummies’

Off of the Amazon shelves, and saved us $99,000,000,972.

But no! He got to show that he be the chief homie to the world hood!

Agreed, and we continue to find out about our enemies looking for soft targets.

this isn’t directed to Cold One, whoever that is, but i want to say that it seems the writer of this article has omitted to include the main reason for the obama visit which, imho is, the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition in Africa. his visit is a marketing exercise. correct me if i’m wrong ... i wanna be. it’s not like i read a lot
