Kudos to Obama on Kenya

In a very intentional and open snub, President Obama decided not to visit Kenya on his first official trip to Africa. This has to be a serious blow to the corrupt Kenyan government. Just read some of the nonsense.

During today's press conference, Mr. Obama made a good point when comparing Kenya to South Korea. Forty years ago Kenya's economy was larger than South Korea's. Now South Korea is a major player on international economic scene, while Kenya is still solidly in the third world.

If South Korea can succeed, “There’s no reason African countries cannot do the same.”

Bravo Mr. President.

Unfortunately she was more like 16! DANG! Obama could play his off with helping the lady down the stairs. Mr. Sarkozsy, on the other hand, almost broke his neck looking at the girl. Tsk, tsk, tsk froggie.
