Yeah because President Obama has such a history of following Cheney's lead! Come on! If America has some oil interests in West Africa in 2015 so what? No one has ever suggested that we would be totally off oil by the end of the coming decade, or even totally off oil decades from now, its going to take time. What Obama is planning to do is ramp up the production of renewables and diversify or existing supplies of energy. That doesn't mean we have to exploit anybody, in fact its in our interests for a stable West Africa it makes it easier and means all sorts of companies can make money there while helping the region. Yes some companies will exploit the people but that can be overcome....

Also, try watching this brilliantly, thorough BBC documentary for further clarity on the matter:
