Obama pledges $7 billion to upgrade power in Africa

“Barack Obama pledged $7 billion Sunday to help combat frequent power blackouts in sub-Saharan Africa.”

This is our problem:



“A recent study from the Electric Power Research Institute estimated that it could cost up to $476 billion over the next 20 years to establish a nationwide smart grid. But, the group argued, doing so could bring trillions in benefits. Sensors could allow grid operators to identify problems and avert or isolate outages and blackouts. Utilities could juggle demand more easily and lower their costs. Plus, it would be easier to integrate renewable power into the grid.”

This is about making it easier for corporatists to sink their fangs into Africa's vast resources.

China has been pouring money into Africa for years.

They'd be more than happy to eat the whole cake.

By all means, let U.S. taxpayers spend money to make Chinas job easier in their ever growing push to accumulate raw resources. Smooth move BHO....

Oh I don't know, I spent quite a bit of time in Israel while in the military, they are light years ahead of the everyone else over there and their intelligence apparatus is pretty useful.

They're light years ahead because of our aid..
Why is it that it's ok for them and not for Africa?
Nevermind, I know that last answer.. It's because they're niggers..

Sorry, but the FOWH paved the way for China to get half of Iraq's oil exports when he made the stupid move to invade Iraq back in 2003. I wonder if the Shrub and the whizkidz on his crew might have though the invasion unwise had they known stories like this would appear in the news within a decade:

NoChain is another PaceDog evangelical who thinks God will destroy America if we don't give Israel an open checkbook.

All of the faux outrage by "Lurch" and "Z" is just their typically weak attempt to deflect from the original thread issue, why are we throwing billions at sub-sahara Africa for something our own country needs. You will notice the usual suspects have no rational response to the real issue. They can only spin, deflect, and throw out racist remarks that are meaningless in the context of this issue. SOSDD from them.

You are an expert at deflecting and spinning (is Markle your mentor?)......

Your alter ego hates the President so much that he will not even type out his real name. Perhaps he is worried his abject racism would show if he did......
