I doubt any president in American history has exhibited quite the same propensity for being willing to meet and greet just about any sleazebucket third world authoritarian slime who rears his ugly head.So, just for example, we've seen Obama glad-handing Venezuelan socialist dictator Hugo Chavez when he wasn't giving a big smile to walking sarcophagus and murderous pig dictator Moammar Gadhafi of Libya (before Obama then found it prudent to get us involved in a third W. Bush-like, Neo-Con style, regime-change war in Libya, which we cannot afford and in which we should not be involved).
And on Tuesday, far from being any type of change that we can believe in, it was just more of the same, as Obama laughed it up with the heartless dictator Ali Bongo (a.k.a. Ali Bongo Ondimba; pictured at the top) -- a dirtbag known for having "stolen billions from his impovished African nation" of Gabon (link to full story at bottom).
This Bongo character is a real sweetheart. To wit:
-Bongo's "appalling track record" and "reign of corruption" has included being a central figure in his infamous family which has "ruled the impoverished African nation with an iron fist for five decades and has used its oil riches to fund a life of outrageous luxury."
-"Meanwhile one-third of people in Gabon live on less than $2 a day and thousands starve to death each year or are forced to pick through garbage to find food."
-This despite the fact that Gabon, with a mere population of $1.5 million, "is the third-largest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa."
-And don't ask this Bongo creep and his crumb-bum wife to live on $2 a day, 'cause that ain't happening: "The Bongos have dozens of luxury homes in places like the French Rivjera and a $120 million, 14-bedroom townhouse in Paris."
-During a "shopping spree" in 2006, Bongo and his scuzball wife "balked at the idea of moving into a property that cost a mere $25 million." Said wifey: "I need something really big, really, really, really big. I would think for that amount of money, I would expect a bit more grandeur. I tried to downsize, but it's just not in my character."
-In the United States, $500,000 shopping sprees by the wives of such republic partisan scumwads as Newt Gingrich have the "mainstream" media going apeshit, but Obama having a high ol' time with such a spendthrift dictator in the White House garners nary a mention and only scant attention (I only saw this story featured on a British website on Thursday, which was the first time I even noticed the story despite me perusing American news websites all Thursday long).
-The linked story details how Jack Blum, a UN consultant and expert on offshore banking, says that "over the years the Bongos have siphoned off a quarter of Gabon's GDP which has made them 'incredibly rich.' " In a rather nice line, Blum accused Bongo of "grand theft nation."
-Even the eyebrows of some in Obama's leftist 20 percenter democrat party have looked upon Obama's Bongo meeting with utter disgust. U.S. Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) says that, "Ali Bongo [and previously his old man] have for more than 40 years run a regime in Gabon which diverts their country's wealth for their family's personal use."
The linked story says that Obama's reason for meeting with Bongo is "to curry favor with an ally to secure America's fuel supplies -- regardless of who it is." Indeed.
This from a president who's been more antagonistic than any other president in American history towards America developing its own domestic oil sources. A man who put roadblocks in front of drilling in American waters while paying for oil drilling in socialist Brazil with huge subsidies of American money (which we, again, cannot afford).
Have I ever phrased it quite like this before (?) -- Obama makes me sick. He truly does. On nearly a daily basis. See a slime, call it one. That's what I do here. And if you don't like it, you know what you can go do. [Gimme a G, gimme an F, and gimme a Y].
