Can Obama for Christ sakes start by stopping kids to kill each other with guns
in schools now that the education system in United States has started to debate
whether all children must wear bullet proofs before coming to school. May be
Obama needs to be a real president and stop this menace in schools before he
rants at Africa?
Geez !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama's High-Risk Africa Summit

African leaders.

former South African president Nelson Mandela at the FNB Stadium in Soweto near
Johannesburg, Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2013.

Is Obama's Africa Leaders Summit worth the time?
By <http://www.usnews.com/topics/author/stephen_hayes> Stephen Hayes June 9,
2014 | 11:15 a.m. EDT + More
In eight weeks, Washington, D.C., will see another historic event: the first
U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit. All but a few of the heads of state of the 54
nations of Africa have been invited and most are expected to attend. It will be
the most heads of state to ever be in Washington at one time, likely creating
traffic jams Washington has seldom seen before as the Secret Service escorts
the presidents and prime ministers across town several times a day.
The purpose of the program is ostensibly to bring Africa and the United States
closer together economically and politically. While it is a program also
designed to strengthen the legacy of the Obama presidency, it is not without
significant risks and challenges, for this summit will be like none the African
leaders have ever experienced.
The summit represents a shift in strategy in the administration. In the first
term, the administration was adamant that it would work with the "like-minded"
nations (read, democratically elected leaders) first, receiving selected
leaders in Washington either alone or in small groups of three or four. There
would be no massive summits with Africa. During this period, no African head of
state was given a state dinner, a fact that did not go unnoticed in Africa.
During the same period, China, Japan, India and Europe have all had African
summits, respectively, with China being the first. Nearly every African head of
state flew to Beijing and met Chinese leadership one-on-one and dined at a
state dinner in the Great Hall. No leader of Africa was uninvited and the
Chinese entertained the leaders lavishly and made commitments towards the
development of most of the countries attending. A $20 billion commitment of aid
to Africa was made, and that has since been supplemented by another $10 billion.
Japan followed course, and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe gave each of 46 African
leaders a 15 minute meeting over a three-day period. Japan, fearing a rising
China, and also needing Africa's trade and resources for its own economy,
promised $30 billion in aid among several other means of support for African
development, including 10,000 business internships for African students. India
and the European Union also brought the African presidents together to pledge
support and cooperation. There was little choice left at the White House but to
also host nearly all African heads of state, but with some interesting wrinkles
to the formula.
The White House has told African ambassadors and others that no African leader
will be given a one-on-one meeting with President Obama during the August
summit, a fact that has caused some African leaders to ask what is the utility
of the trip. This breaks all protocol tradition as the Africans know it.
Instead, the African presidents received an invitation to "an interactive
dialogue" with the American president on Aug. 6. What, many ask, is an
interactive dialogue ? There will be a state dinner on the White House lawn for
all presidents the evening before, but once the interactive dialogue is
concluded the next day, so too is the summitt. There is to be no final
document, another break with protocol. No doubt Obama will shake the hand of
each president, but there will be little substantive dialogue.
The African leaders have been asked to come to Washington for at least three
days, with a Monday morning program focusing on civil society and an afternoon
with Congress, organized by Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, chairman of the
Senate subcommittee on Africa. Currently, the White House has asked various
cabinet secretaries to host African heads of state for private dinners that
evening. This, too, is a very different approach to diplomacy. Cabinet
secretaries and African government ministers rank below heads of state, of
course, and protocol-sensitive heads of state may seriously question whether
they should attend. Furthermore, who is hosted by the secretary of state or the
secretary of defense will be noted by those hosted by less prestigious cabinet
officers. It may be all too easy for some heads of state to take umbrage.
Economics and trade will have their day as well, as the administration plans a
U.S.-Africa CEO summit, organized by the secretary of commerce and her staff.
Three hundred CEOs will be invited to meet and discuss business and trade over
six hours with African heads of state. The White House is strictly adhering to
selected CEOs only. In some ways, this meeting may be the most critical of all
to U.S.-Africa relations, as the U.S. private sector has been slow to respond
to the new African market and is falling behind as an investor and trader in
the world's largest emerging market. The administration is hoping that this
program will spark new interest in Africa from the corporate world. To help
them, the White House called upon business and political titan Michael
Bloomberg to add his name as co-convener, in order to better draw corporate
peers to this meeting.
The program breaks many international protocol traditions. That it is also held
on President Obama's birthday has added fuel for critics who say that this more
a legacy' program than a working meeting with real results. It is too early to
say. An innovative program is being planned. This is a program of high risk,
ultimately to be judged by the results to come. We shall hope and then we shall
see.
