Answer 2

Since when do you Republicans give a ____ about anyone in Africa?

Answer 3

This is just one more example of the many diiferences between what Obama says, and what Obama actually does.

Talk's cheap. And, sad to say, too many people can't distinguish between rhetoric and accomplishment.

Here's what I've found on the subject:

Obama seems to lack empathy, while pretending to have it for his own self-serving political ambitions.

Answer 4

The african government is corrupt, most of the tax dollars spent are kept by the president. Not to mention it is next to impossible to have a family member come to the US on a Visa. Just sending money to family members in africa does next to nothing in helping them help themselves. I know that because my wife is from africa and if you do just a little bit of research you can answer your own question.

Answer 5

Before it was $1 a day and now it's $12 a year? Can you make up your mind on which smear you want to use?

Answer 6

Really? Oh man I'm gonna vote for Bush now. An endless money sucking war, S****y economy, rich tax cuts is not that bad compared to one comment! Bush 08!

Answer 7

Yeah, he didn't even mention this brother at the DNC.  We heard about his mother and grandparents, but what about ALL the rest of them?  Could he be ashamed of them?

Answer 8

I couldn't help notice how many answerers are naive about Obama.

As just one example, apparently anyone who equated Obama with ending the war in Iraq didn't know that Obama actually voted YES to fund that war.

Why are so many Obama supporters supporting a man whose actual agenda they don't know?

Scary, isn't it?

I bet they'd still vote for him even if it is proven that Obama has been planted here by Islamic militants.

Answer 9

I don't know....you won me over with this question, I guess I have to vote for more endless war and Republican incompetence now.
