Default Re: American African Policy & President Obama



Its interesting reading many articles by Africans, about Barrack Obama.
I read some and laugh.
I am not one to trust without the benefit of a good background .Barrack Obama so far as not done anything for Africa that we can point to. He was elected by Americans whose needs and enshrined policies come first.


Many Africans especially Nigerian are looking forward to His' Africa policy, but the truth is the Africa policy many seek is cash or tip or 'dash' creatively refered to as AIDs.
The Asian, Europeans and maybe the Latin AMericans are ready for real relationship based on trade with the US.
Africans just want Obama to open up the US Treasury and start 'spraying'.
In the last few months I have traversed the continent, I compare what I can see with what I have seen in Asia and Eastern Europe, Obama will be a bad businessman to do business in Africa when there are prepared partners elsewhere.

The truth is I am not too excited about Obama-Africa relations because I know 'fortune favor the prepared mind' only.
The unprepared mind hopes, prays and depend on luck.
Sometimes they get lucky, many Africans see Obama and think its there victory, but its a victory they did little to make possible.

I blieve Obama is America's victory, not Africa's.
And the only people who deserve to celebrate are Americans, black, white, brown, yellow of all hue.
