What are your thoughts on Obama's visit to to Ghana? Much has been said about his "snub" of Kenya, what do you think? In an interview with AllAfrica.com Obama detailed his plans for the continent. (Full interview here):

[...] by traveling to Ghana, we hope to highlight the effective governance that they have in place.
I don't think that we can expect that every country is going to undergo these transitions in the same way at the same time.  But we have seen progress in democracy and transparency and rule of law, in the protection of property rights, in anti-corruption efforts.  We have seen progress over the last several years; in some cases, though, we're also seeing some backsliding.  In my father's own country of Kenya, I'm concerned about how the political parties do not seem to be moving into a permanent reconciliation that would allow the country to move forward.  And Kenya is not alone in some of the problems that we've seen of late, post-election or pre-election. And we just want to make sure that people are mindful that this isn't just some abstract notion that we're trying to impose on Africa.  There is a very practical, pragmatic consequence to political instability and corruption when it comes to whether people can feed their families, educate their children, and we think that Africa -- the African continent is a place of extraordinary promise as well as challenges.  We're not going to be able to fulfill those promises unless we see better governance.
