        Obama must be loving the SAfrican Marxist Govt. now in a major arms deal with Iran - no doubt including SA's 1/4 ton of weapons grade uranium! SA also long hosts of ISIS training camps and openly calls for the murder of whites. Obama fits right in.

        Martin Luther King’s speeches are delivered with the Soul and Beat of true Gospel! #Obama in trying to misappropriate MLK in his S.African Mandela Lecture is just downright ugly; lacking even the pithy of a well delivered muezzin! Reflects the quantum of ugliness in the Man!
