The Obama’s hosted 50 leaders from Africa this week, many of them tyrants and dictators.

The red carpet was rolled out for Equatorial Guinea’s Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who shot or jailed virtually all his political opponents, Gambia’s Yahya Jammeh, who threatened to ‘cut off the head’ of any homosexuals in the country and for Cameroon’s Paul Biya, who has the dubious honor of ranking 19th on author David Wallechinsky’s 2006 list of the world’s 20 worst living dictators.

Many of the leaders were later photographed in the White House, posing for individual portraits with Obama and the First Lady.

In Mr. Obama’s Speech at the ‘summit’ he only mentions himself 97 times,  so given that the Summit was clearly all about Obama, what does that say about the company he chose to keep?
