@LordKaisen, where did you read I need money?loll Africa's problem is not money, it's politicians like Obama who create chaos in African countries for American oil companies. You're not smart enough to understand what Iam talking about and Iam pretty sure you can't find Côte-d'Ivoire on a map even after a month of searching... So instead of cursing all over, which is exposing a bad education, be smart, ask questions !

No one hates us, or wants to bomb us, or thinks we're a bunch of selfish idiots (cough cough WWII cough). "Wtf is an african doing in the president's seat in ur countrY?" Our country is a melting pot. End.

Well, that's good to know, do you have ANY American blood in you though?

I mean, you ARE the president of America right?

Lets see, you visited India to "Visit old schools" so you were Raised in India....

You "Have the blood of Africa Within you." So, you're African.

You NEVER fought for our Country like many past presidents.

You're Putting the US in Debt to help other countries...

I just think you're trying to bring America down from the Inside out. So you can bring your "Hometowns" up...
