A case for lowering expectations

In reply to : Barack Obama is the son of an african Kenyan. During his pursuit for the WH fleece, he made a great deal about his mother and grand mother who are White and very little about his father. What is it about Africa that he would be thankful for so as to go out on a limb to show special favor?

Methinks Obama will be limited by his scanty knowlegde about the continent and preoccupation with the erstwhile wars facing his administration. I doubt that he has made a call to any African leader nor has received any calls from any of them since his lightening victory. Achille is on point. We have to lower the decible on lofty expectations.
