Obama to Africa: Text Me!

It's wonderful to see an article in the mainstream news about Africa, and one that shows how much they can be plugged in through cell use.

And it's refreshing to hear that the leadership on our country knows the best way to communicate with them. I'm really starting to rely on ABC for news on and offline. It'll be irresistible if my comments on these stories get published.

Is Obama campaigning for President of the United States or President of Africa?

I am beginning to become confused exactly where the Dear Leader's loyalties lie...

Obama has no business in Africa. His only game is self-promotion, poloitical publicity and socialistic talk in grandiose generalities if he has a tele-prompter to amplify his intellect. He is an expert in nothing and experienced only in talking his way to the next speaking engagement. Rediculous, but typical of the so-called world-leaders today.

I am also wondering whats up with this..I havent seen any improvements as of yet. This is more like a game wanting AFRICAN AMERICANS to text. More one sidedness..And how is this to help our own country. Sure hes only been president for a few months. But theres only 12 months to make a year.. Over a quarter of a year has passed already and his term is only four years.. So when will we see improvements here. So far I see trying to ditch our problems and go for something simple..Im guessing Mr President texts while driving to..

Obama's motives are clear to me and very necessary to reach out to leaders around the world. In light of global warming and the adverse effects on global food supply; the proliferation of nuclear weaponry via North Korea, etc., the United States is no longer an entity unto itself. The President must build cohesion and collaboration amongst allies and enemies to handle issues that affect primarily the U.S. and trickle down to other lesser-developed countries. A global economic recession, begun in the U.S., will require global cooperation.

Wow - the Kool Aid flows unabated.

Should not the President of the USA not spend more time in the arrogant, screwed-up (ALL because of Bush) United States of America and TACKLE PROBLEMS AT HOME before continuing with the WORLD APOLOGY TOUR

When has he actually been in U.S. since getting elected. I only ever see him bowing to Saudi princes on TV or telling people in Ghana to text him with all their problems so he can fix them.

Smartest guy ever???

A LEADER deals from a position of STRENTGH, not weakness.

Unfortunately, all the crack Mr. Obama smoked appears to have permanently affected his brain.

The WORLD APOLOGY TOUR must stop.

America is great. Obama is not.

Sam Adams - It's interesting that you talk about the overseas trips as "Apology Tours". President Obama has definitely strenghtened our relations with every country he has visited. The hardnose policies of the Bush administration hurt us all around the world. I travel a lot and can tell you that those policies have made even our friends hesitant about our motives and sowed seeds of distrust everywhere. I have spoken to many people in my travels and can tell you the US lost a lot of respect around the world in the last 8 years. Having our president tell these countries that we understand them and why they feel as they do, is not appologizing - it is helping to mend broken fences. I think Obama is a great diplomat and has and will do wonders for us internationally. And, believe it or not Sam, we are now, less than ever, an island unto ourselves.

Oh, and Sam regarding your comment, "A LEADER deals from a position of STRENTGH, not weakness" ----has a very "macho" tone to it. Since when is strength defined by not communicating and by not mentioning anything about yourself that needs fixing????

Gretchenbaby,

Putin is already taking your guy to school, as are others.

Time to wake-up. The bell already rang. You are late.

I suggest studying up on Neville Chamberlain, as well.

It seems appeasement did not work out so well for Mr. Chamberlain.

Just because YOU are ashamed of America, Gretchen, and have a hard time justifying the TAX CHEATS, LOBBYISTS, BROKEN CAMPAIGN PROMISES.

Not to mention RECKLESS, OUT OF CONTROL SPENDING. To the tune of trillions, dear.

There is NO NEED to go out and appear as such a weak-kneed Willy, as Obama so regularly does.

How did you like all the rockets North Korea fired for 4th of July. Pretty patriotic of Kim Il Jung, eh?

Liberals are weak on national defense and foreign policy fundamentals. No amount of "it's so refreshing" and "grown-up this and grown-up" that will change the fact Obama is clueless.

Bush this and Bush that.

Obama owns GM. Obama owns banks. Obama has 34 Czars who do not answer to anyone except the executive branch in his rapidly burgeoning central Federal government.

Obama is broke and looking to absolutely tank the economy with Cap and Tax. EVERYONE knows now this is a hoax and will hike energy costs through the roof. Everyone.

DID YOU SEE THE PICTURE OF OBAMA CHECKING OUT THE BABE AT DRUDGE? I bet Michelle loves that stuff.

How is OBAMA's WAR in Afghanistan going for you, Gretchen. Why do we NOT see the body bags every day, like we did with Bush (who wrecked EVERYTHING, of course)

.

We as Americans stand to bear witness to a Historic occassion. If Africa were to organize themselves into some kind of cohesive governing body and organization much like the European Union. We as Americans would greatly benefit from this and from striking an alliance with them. Africa has vast amounts of Natural Resources that is why they been pillaged since the 1700's

Obama wants the texts messages ahead of time so hercan be prepared for the anwers and have them put in the teleprompter.
We are heading in the wrong direction and he is taking us there in the fast tract. If we dont atart standing up to the Senate and the House as well as the President we might as well give forget our freedoms as Obama awill be owning everything and telling how to live our lives.

did I miss where the number was posted ? I want to text him too !

Obama is campaigning to be president of the world. No one's buying it - just the news media. He is making us look like fools.

Text him! What BS!!!!!

Obama had no real reason to be in Africa!! There is issues and problems back here in the home front !! He should pay out of he pocket for the Fuel he wasted going to Africa! He should worry about The United States first, them worry about the international image , he is begging to be like Bill"I can not keep my pants up" Clinton ...

I am so appreciative of President Obama. I pray for him and hope that more people will keep him in their prayers as Obama continues to tackle the humongous mess that he inherited 6 and a half months ago. Thankfully his poll numbers are high because voters haven't forgotten the last 8 years of Bush/Cheney.

I wonder if President Obama texts his poverty stricken half brother in Africa, who he wouldn't give a cent to. It's highly unlikely, because there is no way that President Obama's poverty stricken half brother in Africa could afford to own a cell phone.
