"President Barack Obama drew the diplomatic line somewhere at the first ever U.S-Africa summit at the White House this week by not inviting Zimbabwe’s brutal dictator Robert Mugabe.
But the guest list still included several other African leaders with only slightly better human rights records.
The White House promoted the summit as the largest-ever gathering of African leaders in the United States, with more than 50 countries represented.
The red carpet was rolled out for Equatorial Guinea's Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who shot or jailed virtually all his political opponents, Gambia’s Yahya Jammeh, who threatened to ‘cut off the head’ of any homosexuals in the country and for Cameroon’s Paul Biya, who has the dubious honor of ranking 19th on author David Wallechinsky's 2006 list of the world's 20 worst living dictators.
The President's opening speech avoided the prickly issues of homophobia and torture and instead sought out similarities between the two continents.
He opened with: ‘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’.
Before going on to say: ‘Our faith traditions remind us of the inherent dignity of every human being and that our work as nations must be rooted in empathy and compassion for each other, as brothers and as sisters.’
Here we run the rule over nine of the most controversial leaders who enjoyed the lavish affair."

You have to read British papers to learn Obama is hosting gangstas dressed up as head of states/governments.

Telling it like it is.
The African potentate’s traditional MO - living large on the peoples money, petty dictatorship, oppressing political opposition, running the country into the ground and leaving with countries treasury looted and bankrupt.
Obama fits right in
“Our faith traditions remind us of the inherent dignity of every human being and that our work as nations must be rooted in empathy and compassion for each other, as brothers and as sisters.’”
Wtf??? Wouldn’t it have been easier just to send each one an envelope of money? Or was this to contribute to the Ebola panic and not letting a crisis go to waste?

Which one WAS his father anyway?
It gamut covers everything from the arrogant mouthings of Hollywood celebrities to the sordid backgrounds of foreign dictators...and sometimes we find there isn't much difference between the two genres at all.

Obama wants to be one. I have stated many times their is ZERO doubt in my mind that the same tyrannical blood that flowed through Stalin, Pol Pot, and Idi Amin flows through Obama’s That’s why they want the guns. His own political advisor even called for the murder of millions of Americans to usher in the socialist utopia.
What do you expect from Americas dicktaker?

The entire continent save for South Africa could fall into a sinkhole for all I care.
