From Associated Press:
Obama declares to Africa: End tyranny, corruptionAmerica's first black president spoke with a bluntness that perhaps could only come from a member of Africa's extended family.
"No country is going to create wealth if its leaders exploit the economy to enrich themselves, or if police can be bought off by drug traffickers," he said
"No business wants to invest in a place where the government skims 20 percent off the top, or the head of the Port Authority is corrupt. No person wants to live in a society where the rule of law gives way to the rule of brutality and bribery.
"That is not democracy, that is tyranny, even if occasionally you sprinkle an election in there," he said, "and now is the time for that style of governance to end."
Yeah, no shit.
So, why tell Africa? Why not tell yourself?
Apparently, what is good for Africa is not good for the American people? I don't get it.
I feel a strange tingle going up my leg. It must be Obama "meddling".

Only 20%???
BHO is, well, something else, isn't he?
Yep.
Hence the title.
I just can't figure this guy out. It's like his brain does not connect the things that come out of his mouth with the things he does.
"That is not democracy, that is tyranny, even if occasionally you sprinkle an election in there," he said, "and now is the time for that style of governance to end."
Why the hell couldn't he say this to the mullahs in Iran?!!
Oh yeah, cuz his mouth was full....
hmmm aparently honduras is an exception to this rule also
Maybe BHO doesn't believe anything he says but only spouts what speech-writer-of-the-week tells him to say.
Or maybe it comes down to "whitey must pay"?
King Obama the First tells the planet how to behave.
Andre,
Yes, but in this case I actually agree with him, and I wish he'd apply the advice to the way he governs the U.S.
Well doesn't that just make you want to puke. What a two faced traitor.

If Obama wants to clean up Africa, he has to start with the Muslims there. Don't you know they are getting a good laugh out this 20% business? If the people only had to give up 20%, they be in good shape.
Yep, this statement was one of the most bizarre incidents in Obama's bizarre Presidency.
