USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Jendayi Frazer Blasts Obama For Meddling In Kenya's Election

RE - " You were not at Clark Atlanta University yesterday to hear my
talk, or you would have known how un-Afrikan Obama and his thinking
are. Even his ardent supporters in the audience came to me after my
talk and say that mine was a painful, but empirically well supported,
expose on the BOZO."

Since not all of us could be there to hear, could Mwalimu Bangura not
transfer the main contents of his "talk" to the African dialogue
series?

I'm sure that it must have been an interesting talk,since it was
delivered on King Bob's (Mwalimu Osagyefo Roberto Mugabe's) 89th
birthday..Long live King Bob like Johnny walker still going strong!
