The Obama regime has lifted more veils than the entire membership of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Salve Where is Bono? He just got 1.5 billion in stake of Face Book? Where are these rich self-proclaim billionaires. Hypocrisy at its best. Economy is not in full, people lose everything, and Mulato decides to give to Africa as continent, maybe he should be more smart enough to explain what country of Africa? This is so pathetic, my English language is bad enough, this is worst. Merci [Romanian native > ESL]

When tens of thousands of children die from the agony of starvation, as in Somalia, that sends us a message we still got a lot of work to do. Its unacceptable. Its an outrage
Hypocrite asshat..
This from a morally bankrupt shite that supports the slaughter of 10’s of thousand of innocent babies in America. What scum!

Sorry to say it but if we’re really serious about ending African hunger we would have to re-colonize and start from scratch. The African regimes are the ones responsible for everything going on there AFTER colonialism.

We can’t donate food to this cause, because it might be outdated or not cooked in a government supervised kitchen. I guess they will just have to starve.

The new shared commitment, which Obama outlined today, aims to raise 50 million people out of poverty over the next 10 years.
We have been trying to do this since the 60’s. Hasn’t worked yet.

Salve Mister President, Mister President can you hear me? Millions of children are killed before they can even breathe, millions of Christians are being persecuted of truth, millions of American people cannot find jobs, millions of North Koreans are in starvation, millions of millions are suffering, not because of their race, because of political establishment, who works to destroy them. As a person who worked with missionaries, you sir are absolute dubious of facts and reality. Merci [Romanian native > ESL]

People in Africa have been starving since the dawn of time.
If the climatological and political environments weren't encouraging that, they would have figured it out eons ago. Trying to help them figure it out this late in the evolutionary process is both futile and arrogant.

How long has Africa been hungry?
Why is Africa always hungry?
I know these are rhetorical questions.

Correct, Look at Zimbabwe, once called Rhodesia. Was once called “The Bread Bread Basket of Africa”. Now it is just a basket case incapable of feeding itself, with a shattered economy and worthless Fiat currency. I have on my desk a One Hundred TRILLION dollar bank note issued by the “Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe”. I was told by the individual I got it from that in the early eighties One dollar Zimbabwe was worth more than a US dollar.
