Why not Zimbabwe?

When I heard about President Barack Obama's plans for a $100 million trip
to Africa with his family and entourage, I was surprised that Zimbabwe
(formerly Rhodesia) is not on the itinerary.
I would think that Zimbabwe would be a place that President Obama would
especially like to visit, because Zimbabwe is a country where almost all
of Obama's redistributionist dreams have come true. And Zimbabwe's
president, Robert Mugabe (an avowed Marxist) is surely among Obama's
pantheon of heroes and role models (along with Marx, Stalin, Fidel
Castro, Hugo Chavez, Saul Alinsky and Rev. Jeremiah Wright).
Robert Mugabe has presided over the "fundamental transformation" of a
thriving Rhodesia, once "the breadbasket of Africa" (and a nation with
significant heavy industry including mining, iron, and steel) into a
Zimbabwe dependent on imports of food and emergency relief supplies to
fend off starvation of its population.
Mugabe favored a one-party state, total black rule, and a monopoly on
land. He presided over the driving off (and sometimes the slaughter) of
productive white farmers, and then gave the farms to unskilled blacks as
rewards for military service or political loyalty. Agricultural
productivity dropped by more than half, as did employment associated with
running a successful agricultural enterprise.
Mugabe also presided over a treasury that printed more and more money to
cover government debts, which resulted in such out-of-control inflation
that Zimbabwe had to abandon its own currency and use foreign currencies
such as the Euro, British pound, U.S. dollar, South African rand, and
Botswanan pula.

Leftus Ignoramus is the product of several malodorous confluences.
First, the left has strived mightily to dumb down ordinary Americans.
And it has succeeded: half of all Americans between age 18 and 34 cannot
find Texas on a map of American states. (Bruce Walker)
