I personally like Obama, and consider him a decent man, but he was naive and unconnected as he entered the oval office, and was pounced on and taken advantage of by the likes of Larry Summers and his henchman Rahm Emanuel.

And he was right about the importance of Africa, and yes he was ignored. It was George W Bush that created AfriCom (African Command), but penny pinching Republicans have ceded influence to Russia and China. Now African nations are kicking us out, partly because we have backed the establishment in the nations, even when they are oppressing and murdering their own people.

China has made a substantial financial investment, building infrastructure, Russia has supplied mercenaries to bolster regimes, and weapons for insurgents.

America because of "morality" and politics can only sit back and watch.
