#1 "Wealthy nations have a moral obligation as well as a national security interest in providing assistance and we 've got to meet those responsibilities,"

Such as sending gobs of it to South Africa after they stole all the land from the existing evil white farmers so they could replace them with a bunch of idiots? Such as sending more gobs of it to other countries that are being run into the ground by corruption? I don't think so. I have a feeling the West is going to be needing most of it themselves pretty soon, so don't get them too dependent on it.

#2 In reality, when all the meetings and press conference have ended, the United States donates 1/2 or more of the world's food aid each year. And we receive 0% of the recognition or gratitude.

#3 "There is no reason why Africa cannot be self-sufficient."

Why should they be when idiots like Barry send them 20 billion in food aid every three years?
