Will Travel, Have Gun

What does a Missouri Car Dealer and precedented presidential visit to Africa have in common?

Time for a little CNN smackdown.

Don Lemon seems to want to perpetuate the worldwide Obama euphoria and media-generated image-making. However...

Watch CNN's Lemon get his Obama tire deflated:



Transcript:

DON LEMON, ANCHOR CNN NEWSROOM: Nkepile, I was watching you yesterday on the "Situation Room" with Wolf Blitzer when President Obama was arriving, and they were doing the dancing, and all of the people who were running up to him. For a western leader, I know when presidents come over there, they are usually warmly received. But for a western leader, have you ever seen anything like this? Is this unprecedented?

NKEPILE MABUSE, CORRESPONDENT: It's not unprecedented. When President Bush was here, you will remember, in February, there were people who were drumming, there were dances, and President Bush joined some of them. So, it's not unprecedented. This is a truly African welcome that is given to anybody whether they are from Africa or anywhere else in the world, Don.

LEMON: So, they welcome everyone. It doesn't matter. That's just part of how the people do it, right?

MABUSE: Indeed, Don.

Here's Wizbang:

As President Obama makes his way to Africa with some forceful policy goals Reuters is asking if Obama is Africa's savior. Umm, no. That would be George W. Bush.

I posted on George Bush's contribution to the continent of Africa.


Have gun, will travel....or is it the other way around? (Hat tip: Ed Rasimus)


Missouri car dealer offers free AK-47's with the purchase of a new truck:

Mark Muller, owner of Max Motors in Butler, says he knows people will be bothered by the promotion.

But not to worry, Muller is not handing out free guns. Instead, he will give buyers a voucher to use at a gun store after they obtain a license to carry a concealed weapon.

The AK-47 is an upgrade on a previous promotion in which Muller gave away vouchers for the price of a Caltec pistol.

The retail value of an AK-47 is $450, but Muller says customers can spend their voucher on the gun of their choice.
