Obama and Oprah’s Commitment to Africa

these two owe everyone in the country There stupid acts backed buy money .Money they made off black an white people of american soil its a shame they cant see its this country first not some far away country .they have to explain they choices against there own.God my they be close to him soon

I would like to help Africa. The situation in Darfur is horrendous. And there is so much poverty, starvation, and AIDS. Very sad state of affairs.

I don't know if it is favoritism. Africa has been the neglected and exploited for centuries and just maybe it is time we gave some attention to this great land.

I agree Poncho. I do believe that our charity does begin at home. We are in too much of a mess right now to be helping other countries.

Why is that Kara. Could it be the mismanagement of our government, which by the way will be the same mamagement John will bring?

The question is not why are we in this mess now, it is will Barack Obama push us into the sh.t creek without a paddle? I say no to Saint Obama

Wait, so it does not matter why we are in the mess. I think that Obama will shake things up and put us on the right track. You are a smart lady I have read many of your writings and on many agree with you. You seem to hurt for other reasons, could that be because Hillary did not make it? She is a great lady and I to believe she would have been the best choice, but that did not happen.

Exactly! We should start with cutting the $7million a day to Israel!

The common figure given for U.S. aid to Israel is $3 billion per year—$1.2 billion in economic aid and $1.8 billion in military aid. As impressive as this figure is, however, since it represents about one-sixth of total U.S. foreign aid, the true figure is even more remarkable. It is difficult, however, to arrive at an exact number. Much of the money the U.S. gives Israel is buried in the budgets of other government agencies, primarily the Defense Department (DOD). Other subsidies come in a form that isn’t easily quantifiable, such as the early disbursement of aid, which allows Israel to gain (and the U.S. taxpayer to lose) the interest on the unspent money.

Unquestionably, Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. aid since World War II. Estimates for total U.S. aid to Israel vary, however, because of the uncertainties and ambiguities described above. It is estimated at close to $100 billion.

I'm against his global poverty act. BO wants to send our wealth (what of it we have after you take into account China) and spread it around the world. I not that selfish of a person, but we need to get our own country back on track. We can't save the world, people need to help themselves.

Our country owes money to nations throughout the world. For instance, we owe billions to China, which we are paying accrued interest on. The United States reneged on much of the money that we promised South Asia after the tsunami. Then our country has the audacity to give, give to other coutries. Soon we will be the 'One World Order'. We will be saying hile George Soros.

Kara...the New World Order is here....begun by Reagan, G.H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush.

oh brother - new world order - that is a conspiracy theory honey not reality....here this would be a parallel to these to succeeding in Ruling the World

Honey, You might think it is a conspiracy theory: however, I respectively believe that Goerge Soros is a part of a conspiracy that wishes to take over the world.


A FAN OBAMA DOESN'T NEED

February 2, 2007 -- SEN. Barack Obama might want to tell George Soros to shut up, now that the Hungarian-born billionaire has equated the George W. Bush administration with the Third Reich. Soros, who spent $26 million trying to beat Bush two years ago, is a key supporter of the media-darling Illinois Democrat's presidential campaign. But last week at Davos, Soros made folks like Gwyneth Paltrow and Sean Penn look downright patriotic. After asserting that the United States is recognizing the error it made in Iraq, Soros said, "To what extent it recognizes the mistake will determine its future." He went on to say that Turkey and Japan are still hurt by a reluctance to admit to dark parts of their history, and contrasted that reluctance to Germany's rejection of its Nazi-era past. "America needs to follow the policies it has introduced in Germany," Soros said. "We have to go through a certain de-Nazification process." Soros spokesman Michael Vachon told Page Six: "There is nothing unpatriotic about demanding accountability from the president. Those responsible for taking America into this needless war should do us all a favor and retire from public office."

ahh -touch a nerve I hate George Soros with a rare intensity - and yes I am aware of all this drivel - however after WWII after the cold war -The EU started you would be better tagging the true NWO on Europe not the USA - one currency, no boarders, rotation of nation leading - now setting up to have a one elected official - New countries want in and cant get in...yea yea yea

From the mouth of George H. W. Bush:

So then you are not denying that Barack Obama wishes to continue it because from what I have researched, Obama seems to be the chosen one.

Yes. The republicans own it. I believe John McCain is the puppet of the Republicans...not Obama.

I still will not vote for Obama. I have found out too much about him. I will do more research on John McCain now. Thanks Slim.

Fair enough. That's what I did. I used to hate Obama until I researched McCain.
