Obama announces Africa electricity initiative.....
A large protest group rallies on the streets as they march to the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria, South Arfica, in protest of US President Barack Obama's visit to South Africa on June 28, 2013
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, June 30 (UPI) -- The United States will chip in $7 billion for an ambitious project to bring electricity to more far-flung areas of Africa, President Obama said Sunday.
Obama's plan would lay out $7 billion over five years. Most of the aid will come in the form of assistance with industry best-practices, insurance and technical advice for energy development. Alternative energy sources such as solar and hydropower along with traditional oil and natural gas will be used to increase generation in the region by an additional 10,000 megawatts.
Power Africa includes six African nations -- Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, and Tanzania – and will also work with Mozambique and Uganda on petroleum development, the White House said.

Imagine that :roll: .....here Obama runs around our Country talking about our failing infrastructure yet will go and take 7 BILLION, that's Right 7 Billion. Not Million and hand the money over to what he is calling Power Africa. Sequester Cuts be damn. Anyone else seeing something wrong with this.
What do those liberals and Progressives have to say now? Still thinking your man is looking out for your best interests? This fool throws money terms round like what he is giving away is nothing more than mere pennies. He continually keeps screwing up in the world where the Big Boyz play. This is a sure sign that he does not belong out playing where those big boys play. He just doesn't have what it takes to wear the Big Boyz Pants. Time for even his own people to step up and tell him.....What happened to taking care of our own Infrastructure? Did ya take ya eye off the ball again?
Just where does this moron think we have the money to waste on others at this point in time?
