Obama’s monsters ball: How the White House opened its doors to African dictators

It's nice to know that the taxpayers in the USA not only gave these homophobes and bigots a state dinner, but also that Obama only passingly brought up human rights, be they for women or gays in Africa, in his speech to these "leaders" as the dined on Waygu beef and listened to Lionel Ritchie perfrom. He should have scolded these religious kooks and their backward, and often lethal, way of dealing with minority demographic groups in their own country.

This country is bonkers.

More successful foreign policy on display.....laughable.

 

I expect that the posters on this board who complain about homophobes and misogynists on a message board won't say a negative word about the President of the USA hosting African leaders who literally make homosexuals hide for fear of being outed, and keep women back in the dark ages.

 

Every president has to engage with the wackjob leaders in those regions. Why wouldn't you want to initially open dialogue with leaders in trouble spots in the middle east or africa or any part of the globe? Not to downplay the tragedy in those regions but I don't get the implications concerning a diplomatic dinner with all the bad guys at the same table.

 

Sure, but you don't invite them to a state dinner at the White House funded by taxpayers where you gloss over their human rights abuses, and then have Lionel Ritchie give a concert as everybody dances.

When Obama had Israel's PM at the White House, he made him sit and wait until he finished dinner with Michelle and the girls. Wake the fuck up, America.

 

some dimestore podunk no plane having bitch made wannabe dictator motherfucking african?

obama should be hugging and holding hands with the free spirited and tolerant saudi royalty like a real president.

 

I'm guessing the Dalai Lama didn't get a gourmet meal when he visited Obama in the White House.

 

I agree, but he's been there; done that.

 

Aw, ease up! He is just doing what he is capable of doing. You can't face hard stuff everyday.

 

Obama has had more Saudi guests at the White House than W. Bush did. Don't tell the moronic left, though.

 

Yeah, I figured the photos of Obama bowing to the Saudi leader, and smiling like a goof with him while shaking his hand, would be the end of this thread.

 

Goof! Yes, there it is.

 

There's a no flip flop rule

 

She's rarely correct, but here Jen Rubin has a good point: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...ontinent-to-dinner-insults-african-reformers/

 

I agree, all Africans are the same. Therefore it's not surprising that they must all be reversing course on their bigotry.

 

Post more shit after 5pm, so I don't have a chance to respond. I don't post much at home.

 

Good to see you have toned it down since coming back.

 

He puts the "D" in Papa D.

 

When we have a president who doesn't suck up to the Saudis let me know.

The more things "change", the more they stay the same
