Uncommon Sense from Barack Obama

President Barack Obama actually said something sensible about Africa.  Reports the Associated Press:

Obama told AllAfrica.com that he was "a big believer that Africans are responsible for Africa."

"Part of what's hampered advancement in Africa is that for many years we've made excuses about corruption or poor governance, that this was somehow the consequence of neocolonialism, or the West has been oppressive, or racism," Obama said. "I'm not a believer in excuses."

Now, if he would only apply the same principles in America ... .

As I listened to Obama's speech yesterday I felt the same way if he would practice what he preached to those people, that would be a different situation.
"Do as I say,not as I do", has worked for him so far in America, maybe he thinks the Africans are just as stupid as those who elected him!

Maybe he could tell the folks in the Middle East the same thing.

"I'm not a believer in excuses."

One doesn't have to believe in something to be willing to use it.

"I'm not a believer in excuses."

Unless it's blaming everything on GW Bush.

...or reminding people that he was only eight years old when something happened...
