I find the xenophobic and dismissive attitudes of some of our more left leaning posters to these comments somewhat funny, as well as telling.

Yea, I know right?

Why would the President of ALL the people of the United States of America even go to a place like Africa? Why bother with that? Doesn't effect us.

That has what to do with some Africans at a coffee shop? I mean, look at their country...they should keep their opinions to themselves while they cash our foreign aid check to feed their people.
