Obama Welcomes African Leaders For Unusual Dinner August 5 2014 DARLENE SUPERVILLE
Take a White House state dinner and multiply it by 50. The result is the most elaborate and unusual dinner of President Barack Obama's administration, a one-of-a-kind affair put on Tuesday night for a one-of-a-kind gathering of several dozen leaders from countries across Africa.
The leaders are attending a three-day conference organized by the White House and aimed at boosting U.S. ties to the continent. Obama wasted little time highlighting his own personal connection to Africa during a brief toast. Guests were shuttled down to a massive tent erected on the South Lawn because the White House, as big as it is, does not have any rooms large enough that can hold the more-than-400 invited guests.
"I stand before you as the president of the United States, a proud American. I also stand before you as the son of a man from Africa," Obama said drawing applause. "The blood of Africa runs through our family, so for us, the bonds between our countries, our continents are deeply personal."
He warmly recalled family visits to Kenya before he became president, as well as stops at historic sites in Ghana, Senegal and South Africa with his family while in office. And he offered a toast to "the new Africa, the Africa that is rising and so full of promise."

Obola ....lol. It fits.
I wonder what wine is best paired with rotted bat meat?
How very Freudian.
ROFL! You win.
No kidding, guess who’s paying for this orgy of racial politics.
Barack Hussein Obama, illegal President of the United States, is a pandering racist. Can you imagine a caucasian president of any country saying “The blood of Northern Europeans flows through my veins.”? Actually Barack Hussein Obama could say that, too....but he would never do so. He hates his white side. He is a dangerous bigot.
The menu included monkey skewered with vegetables cooked over a grill and Curried dog with fresh chutney.
Obama hosts a festival of third world kleptocrats - on our dime.
They served Long Pig
Customs stopped them. But that was then. Under Obama, I'm sure they would get a "bon appetit" -- along with instant green cards.
A big PING! to that.
You forgot raping female babies as a folklore cure for AIDS.
Unusual how? Was monkey on the menue?
And the gentle breezes flow through the ears of the 57-state-stupid POTUS.
Not going to say what I’m thinking....no sir, no way, nohow.
