Obama Plans to Power Africa—With Soccer Balls

FTA:
We’ll expand access for those who live currently off the power grid.
Translation: "We'll be able to gather data on people that we have no access to now."
Also FTA:
"Kids play soccer all day long. They take the thing, the ball home, and you can plug a lamp into it and they can read at night. Or they can plug a cell phone charger into it."
Really? These kids don't know how to read, and if they had cell phone towers for them to use their phones on, they would already have power in the area, and this doesn't make any sense!
Hehe, the cell phone thing caught my eye too! I'd really like to see this story getting some quality airtime on the big three.
7 Billion of OUR money so african's can play with soccer balls....This f*cking president is completely insane.....
Obama should convert his balls to this so when Reggie Love plays with them they'll light up the eastern seaboard.
They'll have to call then glow balls then.
I'm a mechanical engineer specializing in EM energy transfer. Some quick cocktail energy calculations. Might be able to charge a small Li-on battery after five hours of continuous play and I'm being generous with a 30% efficiency, 80% time in motion, and average speed of 30MPH.
If anyone here has ever used a flashlight app on their smart phone you know that it will drain your battery in about ten minutes of continuous use.
My question is how much did the inventors give to the 0 campaign 2012?
Not to mention that the extra weight and instability that this would add to a soccer ball will make them something that will sit in a corner after a few minutes of use. This will be the biggest expenditure on something that sits around and does nothing, since unemployment benefits.
Mayor Nanny will no doubt require everyone in NYC to purchase one so they can stay fit and light the Empire State Building for free.
Want to bet they're good little Obamabots? http://tinyurl.com/cwo9t7a Not to mention they evidently have all the hippies bullshitted.
About the only thing this scheme will ever possibly power is more Acorn related voter fraud, and maybe Quagmire's ego.
Can we say Agenda21???
Obama has become so absurd he's a caricature of himself.
"Windmills didn't work? LET'S TRY SOCCER BALLS!"
"Hey, maybe these stupid Africans will buy this 'green energy' crap."
"Why aren't these people cheering my soccer ball idea? They loved it in Hollywood!"
