Obama and Africa

First of all I have to say that I did not know that the Bush administration put forth so much money towards African relief. It is still a shame that the press did not really cover much of that. That is one thing that George W. Bush did better than any other president, provide a lot of aid to Africa.

So now that Bush is gone what help will Africa receive from Barack Obama and his administration? Well from the sound of this article it seems that the people of Africa are very excited about what Obama will do for their country. Much of the excitement is due to the fact that Obama is an African-American and his father is a native of Kenya. Many believe that Obama will not forget his roots and provide just as much if not more aid then Bush did.

It is rumored that when Obama gets around to helping Africa, he is going to focus on their agriculture and supply money to farmers to help modernize farming their. In turn it should help the hunger problems that face Africa as well.

People in Africa have a new sense of hope since Obama has became president. Let's just hope that he can come through for them like they think he can.

Before Obama can truly help other countries he has to help fix the economic state that our nation is in right now, but I hope that there will be more aid given to Africa in there time of need.
