President Obama today signed the visitors book at Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was jailed, “on behalf of my family,” suggesting he was representing himself at the historic site instead of the United States.
From the press pool report:
The President and First Lady walked into the courtyard where the visitors book was waiting on a simple desk with no chairs. His hand was on the small of her back.
The President leaned over the table and the First Lady, who was wearing a gray wrap top looked over his shoulder as he signed the visitors book. They were a striking sight with the watchtower in the background.
He wrote for about three minutes. Then the First Lady took the pen and signed her name.
They then turned and silently walked back into the cell block.
Here is what the president wrote:
“On behalf of our family we’re deeply humbled to stand where men of such courage faced down injustice and refused to yield. The world is grateful for the heroes of Robben Island, who remind us that no shackles or cells can match the strength of the human spirit.
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama

That's ok with me. I don't like the idea of that liar representing us anyway. Now he should pay us taxpayers the $100 million dollars back that he used on this vacation.
Really? Get a life people. The man can't take a dump without you criticizing what type of tissue he used.
The problem for the past 5 years has been that instead of being an informed opposition able to push policy debates forward by adhering to strong principles and sound judgement, we have a political climate that has espoused nothing but shrill, hyperbole, and half-baked criticism. The results are that we now have two parties that are long on wind, and short on ideas.
I'm glad he signed it the way he did also. He doesn't represent me in any way shape or form: Never has never will.
As far as sponging vacations off the taxpayer, that's par for course for his type. A lot the ghetto people have been bred with a trait that makes them think it's perfectly okay to spend other people's money, so in the Obama's minds they aren't doing anything wrong.
Wow, are u serious? " 5 years of uninformed opposition? If there is someone uninformed - is you 10:11. Maybe instead of being "spoonn fed" by ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and other liberal MSM, you might start doing some research and form your own opinion. Got any answers for all the scandals this administration been doing? Benghazi, Fast & Furious, Solyndra, Acorn, IRS, NSA, Drone attacks and many many more? And somehow you label it as half-baked critisism? Now, it must be those conservative republocans who made it all happen, right? Maybe we should blame some Independents too. Or we just stick.we the usual excuse by democrats - "Uhm, I didn't know and Bush did it."
Exactly right 10:11, exactly right.
Great achievement. Maybe they will get another Nobel Peace prize. Don't know why spend 100 MIL of TAXPAYERS MONEY on this trip. I mean they "only" need 30 rooms for their "entourage" in one of the most expensive hotels on continent of Africa. See, when Donald Trump goes, he pays with his money, Obama's pay with OURS while singing YES WE CAN.
Such deep thought 10:55, pay some taxes and get a clue. You and your admired one need to get some unbiased independent information. At least you are on this site, that's a start. I defy you to find anywhere else in the MSM media forums that your highly adored Sodomite king is truly evaluated.
Maybe he will decide to stay there!
Our situation would greatly improve if Obama would spend next 3 years in Africa. Heck,, don't even bother coming back.
