Obama In Ghana On Historic Africa Trip

ACCRA, Ghana — President Barack Obama has landed in Ghana on his first trip to sub-Saharan Africa since taking office.

He landed soon after 9 p.m. local time and met a group of dignitaries, led by President John Atta Mills. An ethnic African group danced and banged drums for Obama's arrival.

After traveling to Russia and then Italy for a meeting of major industrial powers, Obama is making the last stop of his overseas trip in Ghana, on Africa's west coast.

Obama will make a speech to lawmakers there and tour an oceanfront fort once used to ship slaves to the Americas.

President Obama is all WORLD baby!

He can go to IRELAND and relates to them. He can go to the Middle East with Arabs and relates them. He's the President of the US and relates to us.

GOD knows exactly what he is doing. GOD is proving to the racist in America that your satanic rule is over!

Nice speech by Obama though I disagree on Zimbabwe; the British obsession with Mugabe is the one which destroyed that country. No country can progress under sanctions: The unjust sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe are British-led (UK,US,Australia etc). Zimbabwean black farmers no longer export their produces...

It must feel great for Obama to return to African soil as the First African American President of the USA.

Were the drums being 'Banged' or were they being 'played' by musicians?
