The tragic irony of America’s first president of African extraction.

2008 feels like a very long time ago.

Back then, we were all swept in the euphoria which accompanied the victories of Obama, first as the Democratic nominee and secondly as the President elect.

The feeling back then was that Barack Obama could walk on water and solve all of the problems of the earth.

And with good reason too.

Folks will remember that he was the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize even before he’d had time to settle into his job as leader of the free world.

But this was before the events of 2011.

When a Tunisian street trader decided to express his anger and frustration by setting himself alight, no one thought that this action would have world changing consequences.

And yet it did.

The fall out of the self-immolation of Mohammed Bouazizi led to the fall of age old regimes across Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, and Libya.

But the real story of 2011 was how the United States of America and its allies chose to use the Twitter revolution or the Arab spring to its advantage.
