Republicans did not mock me as they are now mocking Obama, mainly because I was not President of the United States of America at the time.  It was a little embarrassing, but I kept the book. It&#8217;s called &#8220;Mobutu &#8230; something something something.&#8221;  (I wonder if that is the same book Chavez gave to Obama?  D&#8217;ya think?)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the Yahoos are all over Obama because some drone paparazzi copped a photograph of Obama and The Enemy of The Free World shaking hands and looking happy.
