President Barack Obama drew the diplomatic line somewhere at the first ever U.S-Africa summit at the White House this week by not inviting Zimbabwe’s brutal dictator Robert Mugabe.
But the guest list still included several other African leaders with only slightly better human rights records.
The White House promoted the summit as the largest-ever gathering of African leaders in the United States, with more than 50 countries represented.
African dictators at the White House. :mental: :bs:

They felt right at home with their host, the AmeriKan Dicktaster.

Crickets at the DUmp, I wasn't sure where to put this so here it is. :-)

Obama’s monsters ball: How the White House opened its doors to some of Africa’s most evil dictators and homophobes and turned blind eye to their human rights record
snipped
The red carpet was rolled out for Equatorial Guinea's Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who shot or jailed virtually all his political opponents, Gambia’s Yahya Jammeh, who threatened to ‘cut off the head’ of any homosexuals in the country and for Cameroon’s Paul Biya, who has the dubious honor of ranking 19th on author David Wallechinsky's 2006 list of the world's 20 worst living dictators.
Many of the leaders were later photographed in the White House, posing for individual portraits with Obama and the First Lady.
The President's opening speech avoided the prickly issues of homophobia and torture and instead sought out similarities between the two continents.

Obama isn't just tone deaf, he's blind and stupid.

Hardly. He knows exactly what he's doing. In a lesser nation, he would have already declared himself president for life. He shows a lot of personality quirks that dictators tend to have.

BHO feted oppressive African dictators (minus one PR token), yet tried to strong-arm Israel into ceasing to defend itself and shuffled the Dalai Lama out a WH back door past trash bags (http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/politics/2010/02/19/dalai-lama-trots-past-white-house-trash/#slide=1)! Were it G. W. Bush who did this ...

....and probably raised a toast to old Idiot-R-Mean.

PrezBO trying to get some better pointers on being a absolute dictator.
