Lindy, I am not racist, and some of my best friends have got more melanin in their skin than I have, but strictly speaking, calling President Obama a "White man" flies in the face of the exultant ululations about an African American finally going from the cotton fields to the White House [ignoring the minor detail that Obama's African ancestors were from the slave SELLING class rather than the slave class and not quite from the Niger part of Africa but the east coast region and never picked cotton in the USA]. Maybe now that Africa is running the USA [via Obama, Condoleezza, a bloke on the Supreme Court, the Pentagon via Colin Powell [now retired] and a lot more besides], it's timely for the USA to take over all of Africa, or at least those parts which wish to join the "USA African Federation". In case Africans haven't noticed, China's attitude to Africans in, for example Darfur, and anywhere else leaves a lot to be desired and their attitude to human rights in general is that humans are serfs serving those in power. That's not much different from democracies but at least we can turf the rogues out regularly. A USA Federation of Africa [which would NOT include automatic right to reside in the USA, welfare benefits etc] would be just the ticket for the man in the street, not to mention the woman in the hut. President Obama would be just the man to take over Africa and Kenya would be a good place to start. I bet he'd get a following there. Americans could buy vast tracts of Africa and pour tremendous amounts of capital in for the good of all. My beloved Globalstar and Qualcomm could cover the continent in mobile cyberspace at low prices within a couple of years. Mqurice
