Ghanaians Reflect On President Obama's Visit

[jide1000]

I think the more progressive phrase is person of colour, not coloured person . the latter is soo pre civil rights movement. I thought this guy has spent a significant proportion of his life in America.

[olojulagbari]

Product of an African.But for America.The sperm of an African made him.

[DHCMAV]

Obama is heading to be the WORST president in American history next to Jimmy Carter, unemployment is double digit, the deficit is thru the roof because of his erresponsable spending, individual states are suceeding from the nation, gun and ammo sales are sky high on the rumors of a second revolution, and the country is on the door steps of bankruptcy. Yea, he's a real swell guy, LMAO!!!

[nightime1000]

excuse me but who started this ecomomy mess. Thanks to Bush. The ecomomy was fucked up before he became a president. It doens't take 7 months to fix this mess Bush created. There 300 million americans. Even God didn't creat 300 million people in 7 months. I know you republicans will like to see a black man fail but it wont happen. Our finanical instiuation has gotten better since he toke office. I am able to get a loan for school now so please give the man credit where credit is due.

so now you are accusing people who don't support obama's policies of being racists, am i correct?

because no one mentioned the man's color but you. the truth is, when it comes to being able to take care of your family the only color that matters is the color of money. bankruptcy knows no color.

obama has done nothing but expand the gov, increase budget and deficit - spending on stuff that does nothing but line the pockets of cronies.

you are absolutely correct. i just read a report that unemployment may hit as high as 20% in michigan. because of obama's stupid cap and trade legislation - which would be the final nail in the US auto industry's coffin - the cost of everything is going to go sky high, of course this is all at the worse time. obama has no idea what he is doing. i wish hilary was president right now.

[JoelTarnabene]

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Why the hell are you blaming Obama for the crisis. Blame Wallstreet.. or Bush!

The autoindustry in US has been pretty occupied by nailing their own coffin from the inside. You really lack most of the facts. Study I implore you.

[IamStoneDrunk]

what the hell are you talking about? Obamas stimulus package failed miserably. Should we blame Bush for that one? His 1.5 trillion dollar health care plan is stupid and is going to get pushed through anyways. Is that Bushs fault?

[JoelTarnabene]

How can you say it failed? This GLOBAL recession hasn't even hit rock bottom, and you expect results within a couple of months, when clearly this will take time and GLOBAL effort to solve. That's not very realistic of you.

[IamStoneDrunk]

lol it had no effect. he just wasted 800 billion dollars and all the liberal do gooders are just playing the waiting game.

Wasn't the reason he pushed for it so hard to go through was for immediate relief? Why did we have to put it in immediately if it was going to take this long to start working. If anything we should stop doing stuff and lift regulations on the market.

[Tinuviel11]

Amen, brother. Let the markets do their thing. AND, allow Free Enterprise to work the way God intended it to!

[qwe07]

Tinuviel11, maybe I'm mistaken, but didn't deregulation help us dig the hole we're in now? We can't fully rely on markets and free enterprise doing their thing.

[JoelTarnabene]

No, you are not mistaken. It was bad lending habits inspired by short term greed which created mountains of bad assets. That is what unregulated market will do for you.

[JoelTarnabene]

"Why did we have to put it in immediately if it was going to take this long to start working?"

I don't think you really read that through before hitting the post button. If it takes time the reason for starting right away should be obvious to anyone. What do you say, start later and get the results even later?

It was the unrestrained free market that created the recession in the first place. That is common knowledge. Lift even more regulations and you are heading for the abyss.

iamstonedrunk

i hear ya. obama has spend quadruple the $ bush spent. obama is destroying this country. he has no experience in the private sector. he's never run a company, and he has nothing but contempt for wall street. he doesn't understand the first thing about creating wealth. he is an idiot.

[p1nakitto]

Why do you get off, at insulting those in power. Show me one politician that has real leadership; it must be Nelson Mandela. You should see these troubles as having began long before Obama set foot in the white house, honestly, he's doing his job like all of us and its sad that some feel so angry towards him, hopefully you see him as human.

[tetekofa]

- yes I will book a room at Hotel Obama next time I'm in Ghana!!!

[magdamagda999]

ghanans reflect on obama's visit?

great, and now an american will reflect on obama's incompetent presidency, still in its infancy:

obama has quadrupled spending.

the deficit is now at 11.5 trillion.

unemployment is now in the double digits.

obama has spent more $ then all previous american presidents combined - from 1789 til now.

obama has lied; the american economy has died. more jobs will be sent overseas because of his cap and trade bill.

obama is destroying the USA.

[nightime1000]

Please tell me how much was the deficit before Obama toke office. So please dont give me that excause. Why dont you take about the mess George Bush left Obama. We would be in a depression by now if Obama had not spend the money. Stupid Bush left Obama two Wars oh 3 wars actually and a finanical mess.

[lreaves777]

Nice presentation. Much love to the Ghanaian people.

[KinshipWAMBaGhanaba]

great marketing

[oduro0111]

preach on brother!!!

Obama's success shall forever be celebrated

[magdamagda999]

oduro0111

obama is bankrupting this country! he is nothing to celebrate!

[nightime1000]

Bush has already Bankrupt the country with all the wars and a financial mess. How do you think we got this way. Obama would have never spend this money if it wasn't for Bush. Republicans need to come up with new ideas instand of bashing the man because its getting old.

[magdamagda999]

look, i understand that people WANT to like this man and think he is great. but the truth is, if you think bush's spending was bad then there is no way to defend what obama is doing because obama has quadrupled bush's spending in less then a year. obama is destroying the united states of america.
