Its very unfortunate that the so-called allegedly first African American President,Barack Obama chose to lecture in a condescending manner Ghanaians and other Africans on graft and corruption supposedly on the African Continent.My dear President Obama you need a reality and truth check.
There is more corruption,graft,and immorality in New York City,The State of NewJersey, and Washington D.C. than on the entire continents of Africa&Asia.
President Obama also failed to point how the CIA duped some sell outs in the Ghanaian military resulting in the overthrow of the legitimate government of one Africa's greatest leaders Kwame Nkrumah. Mr. Nkrumah was one of the most responsible leaders in the world but he advocated African solidarity, unity,Pan Africanism and liberation against white settler rule,and the American Empire could not
stand to see an a Black African leader who was willing to die for the liberation of African lands from the remaining colonial and neo colonial powers in Africa
Also note that the CIA initiated the coup in Ghana when Ghana had the lowest unemployment rate on the continent of Africa.

ahh.. Kwame Nkrumah - brings back memories. He wanted a "united states of Africa", and wanted the black diaspora throughout the world to unite as one. Imagine that! And because of this and the fact that he would not adhere his policies to western greedy desires the US labeled him a "communist" and planted their CIA evil. They did the same thing with Patrice Lumumba in the Congo - and installed the notoriously corrupt Mobutu Sese Seko. Considering all of this, the speech was quite disingenuous. While Obama is apologizing to all of the Arab world for US misdeeds... he should have done the same in Ghana.
