President Obama took time out of his very busy schedule to record an important YouTube message for the people of the Ivory Coast.
We suppose that’s all well and good. Except for a couple things:
First, the President refers to the nation as Côte d’Ivoire instead of Ivory Coast for a good reason – French is its official language, but they also speak 60 native dialects with Dioula the most widely spoken. Yet the President recorded his message in English.
Second, the per capita GDP of Côte d’Ivoire is a mere $1800 per year, so we question how many of the nation’s residents have computers on which to view the President’s message.
On the other hand, Côte d’Ivoire’s unemployment rate is estimated to be 40-50%, so perhaps its citizens have spent their ample idle hours sitting around learning English and watching YouTube videos.
Hey, have you seen the one about the dog that says, “Je t’aime.”
That’s a damn laugh riot.

Glenn said that the man he is backing had civilians murdered... if I understood correctly and it is true... WTH?!
Why are we talking about the Ivory Coast in this point in time?
Don't we have enough problems?
Maybe Obama is thinking of starting another war there.
He wants his soul brotha to take the helm even if he has to come in there and force the issue... That would be my guess.
I've been wondering this for a while, does obama think that he has a mustache? That thin wispy thing on his lip looks like what a 12 year old would grow.
Why is he worrying about every other country on the planet when his own is going down the tubes?? The Nero comparisons are quite apt. Someone with some common sense PLEASE run for President. I'm getting a little worried as I see no viable candidates popping up and only two years to election...eeeeeek!
You sound like you have common sense kb, I'll vote for you!
:)
It's a great example of what to say when you have nothing to say.
Just what the Ivory Coast needs.
A useless ambiguous no blame, blame everyone speech from Obama where he can't even acknowledge that one side is slaughtering the other while the useless U.N. and does nothing much in the same way that Obama does nothing.
I'm surprised he didn't tell them to inflate their tires, eat kale, and offer each a free cell phone.
Of course you know Doc, that if he had said that, we'd be the ones footing the bill for it!
Ah hell, why not?! We foot the bill for every damn thing else.
SMART Power!!!!!1111!!!!eleventy
Lord help us all from this imbecile.
He looks high. Maybe partying everyday is beginning to take its toll.
Yeah, it's probably due to all that high octane partying and jetsetting he's been doing here lately. It would be nice if he'd do some real work, once in a while. Oh, I'm sorry, when he actually works, bad shit happens to this country...party on dude!
