Obama goes to South Africa
Over time, presidents have chosen locations to give important speeches. I remember that then-governor Ronald Reagan started his 1980 campaign in an area impacted by the bad economy. In 2008, then-senator Obama announced his campaign in Springfield, Illinois.
Why South Africa?
I understand that President Obama spoke on the Mandela anniversary. However, South Africa has serious challenges, from basic human rights to high levels of poverty and violence against women and children.
In fact, I saw this article about what’s also going on in South Africa:
In South Africa, ownership of the land has emerged as the most explosive issue faced by the country’s leaders.The government has pledged to redistribute land from white farmers to millions of black people who work on it.But groups representing white farmers say the dispute is inflaming violence in rural areas.
Well, what can you say? We can say two things:
1. Obama has a bad case of selective indignation.
2. No Democrat running in a competitive election will quote his speech.
Obama is still Obama.

Listen to Geraldo on this one.....
As we posted before, President Trump clearly misspoke during the press conference. He corrected himself the next day and it's over as far as I'm concerned.
Then came the media frenzy and the biggest overreaction of the 21st century.
The anti-Trump forces should listen to Geraldo: "On "Fox & Friends," Rivera said the coverage of the Helsinki summit "bordered on hysterical.""
On this one, Geraldo is right on!

April 2009: They love Obama but say "no" to his request for troops
A post from April 2009:
Even President Obama can't spin or "hope and change" this one!
This is embarrassing!
This is a joke!
This is "something" that I can't print in a family blog.
POLITICO explains it this way:
"Warmly greeted by European leaders and the public alike as a welcome relief from his predecessor, Obama’s appeal hasn’t enabled to him to bridge differences on key economic and military issues with American allies.
Obama left the G-20 summit in London without securing any further commitment by individual countries to enact more stimulus spending.
And Saturday he departs from NATO’s gathering in this French-German border town without a pledge by allies to send further combat troops to Afghanistan to bolster the American military surge there."
The US, UK and Canada will continue to fight the Afghan war.
The rest of NATO will send some translators to help out the effort.
I don't minimize the importance of non-military personnel. I'm OK with that.
We probably could use more translators.
However, this is a war, and a very rough war.
President Obama left Europe empty handed indeed.
He got some translators but not soldiers.
Pres Obama was looking for soldiers because our volunteer army is stretched thin at the moment! He got nothing!
