RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — President Obama warned Sunday that a harsh new anti-gay law in Uganda would “complicate our valued relationship” with the east African country, which receives hundreds of millions of dollars a year in U.S. aid.
In a last-ditch effort to derail the measure, national security advisor Susan Rice called Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni over the weekend and urged him not to sign the measure. The law includes a provision of life in prison for “aggravated homosexuality.”
But amid news reports that Museveni was intent on pressing forward, Obama said Sunday that the move would be “a step backward for all Ugandans” and would reflect poorly on the country’s commitment to protecting the human rights of its people.
“As we have conveyed to President Museveni, enacting this legislation will complicate our valued relationship with Uganda,” Obama said in a written statement released Sunday. “At a time when, tragically, we are seeing an increase in reports of violence and harassment targeting members of the LGBT community from Russia to Nigeria, I salute all those in Uganda and around the world who remain committed to respecting the human rights and fundamental human dignity of all persons.”(continued)

Only in his fondest, dampest dreams-he’s a legend in his own mind...
Meanwhile, it will not complicate China’s relationship with them at all, as they don’t have strings attached to their money. China will give them a railroad or something, and they will no longer be allies with us.
King Obama rules the world and everyone has to do what he says.... apparently.
what is “aggravated homsexuality”? Engaging in homosexual sex or homosexual rape?
FUBO!!
Send in Ambassador Putin to uncomplicate the matter.
I listen to sports talk radio in the early morning (or used to). I’m in Canada, but not one hour can go by without hearing gay this, gay that. I am a huge sports fan and have not watched or listened to the olympics and turn anything off when they go all gay, all the time.
I have lost a good friend because her daughter called me a hater when I said I was sick of hearing about everybody’s sex life all the time.
I’m sure Uganda & Russia are really scared of Obama now.../s
It includes having homosexual sex with the mentally disabled and having homosexual sex with AIDS.
So that’s why susan went on this trip with him, to make a phone call.
Perhaps Ambassador of Good Will Vladimir Putin could draw an anatomically correct picture that would uncomplicate things for our boy king.
This once again underscores everything he never knew about foreign policy, including Cold War policy which is not ancient history. Russia or China especially would surely be glad to take up the slack where the US leaves off, for their own reasons.
Seriously?
She gets paid to make usesless, ineffective, and stupid phone calls?.
What' she going to do next week, call the Pope and urge him to worsip the devil?.
Exactly. What 0bama’s reaction be if Uganda were to state that our homo-loving president’s sexual preferences was “complicating” their rerlations with us?
Anti-Homo law in Uganda?
Obama sees it as a personal attack.
ENOUGH ALREADY…
I am 71 years old and I've NEVER disliked a President as much as I do the current one..
HURRY UP 2016
Yes. Western intervention has exacerbated their famine cycle, by supporting the explosion of a population which they can never support on their own.
