The president's image handlers should all resign in shame. This is the most despicable show of immaturity that a president of a country can ever exhibit. Presidential photo ops should either be a group one or of the grip and grin variety and not narcissistic

He is a total shame to our noble nation. Was he looking for sourvenir for his children that he has set his feets on the CNN ground. He has really lost touch on all the things happening in the country. Ghanaians are burden down with insensitive utility tarriffs, multiple taxation and lack of basic social amenities while the president is globe trotting collecting photographic momentos. Thank him, 2016 is just around the corner and unless he come out with pragmatic economic policies that ameliorate our plights, he should forget about my vote.

This idiot of a President stood in the UN podium and told the whole world that Ghana's economy is strong and sturdy and Africa and that matter Ghana does not need handouts. Just three days ago, his Finance Minister expressed his worries about the economy with government employee salaries alone consuming 74% of all revenues collected.

On that same day, it was reported that our budget donor partners are unwilling to contribute towards our budget because of their worries about government expenditure on government workers salaries and our rate of borrowing.

The UN assembly meeting ended about a week ago and with our economy being in crisis, this clueless moron of a President is running around USA and posing infront of CNN Logo like tourist while Ghanaians are suffering. Those who voted for this moron should be ashamed of themselves

KK, you just have low IQ. You don't belong to this website. Is there no NDC site where fools like you can be very regular? JOHN MAHAMA is in the US as sorry to say the president of Ghana and not a tourist Mahama. Whatever he does there is a reelection of the presidency of Ghana and not evil dwarf touring US. The irony is he just paid Ghana's money to talk and condemn international media on same CNN only to leave the room to start posing in front of this CNN bill board. If the interviewer sees him doing this what do you think she will be thinking of Ghanaians and Africans? Am sure even Mugabe will never do this.

Sometimes why so we always want to score political cheap from everything. Assuming the president refused to take picture with his people or interviewer what would have Bern the talk? Not that he is a president of a country so he shouldn't entitle to his social life. I find it difficult to understand what we are trying to make out of this pics. Is it not human as we are? Isn't the same right we enjoy in the constitution ? After applying hypothesis analysis to our argument, I fail to accept. Let us talk about ourselves not always lambasting the president.

John Mahama and his NDC govt. continue to disgrace themselves and Ghana. No wonder he Ghanaians have started complaining bitterly just under 1yr of his presidency.

It's becoming increasingly clear that the EC and NDC colluded to steal the ballot and John Mahama cleverly put Atuguba's nephew in his office so they could help cement his presidency with that dubious Supreme Court verdict. And that's why we're seeing all these kinds of garbage. Let Ghanaians arise and prepare to do the right thing in 2016. We cannot have this hopeless people doing us harm like that.

I was curious when I saw the heading of the article but looking at the picture of a President of a sovereign country which attained independence in 1957 standing in front of a signage of a cable news channel is an insult, a disgrace and demeaning not only to his personality but the entire nations. Those who would argue otherwise would do the same. It is a common human sense and faculty it is the unpolished, uncultured and uncivilised who would stand in front of a signage in a capacity as a president. This has not happened in the history of any president globally. If he was holding a baby in front of a clinic with a signage of that establishment it could have been a wise choice. The action displayed by the His Excellency President Mahama is an insult to dignified Ghanaians the undignified would see nothing wrong…but we the dignified see it absolutely wrong. If this is the President leading the country, then we are doomed as strategic thinking is lacking and drawing a vision for a nation is questionable from the President.

They pretend to be Nkrumaists yet do not understand the dream and vision of the great man Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah.

How could standing looking like a rain beaten vulture in front of an anti Pan Africanism, CIA agent like CNN, a strong pro rightist organisation which spread falsehood about our people and continent to pose for the cameras be described as global mode, model my ass.

This political sychophant and novice Atik Mohamed, certainly need his guinea fowls head carefully examine by a professionally qualified psychiatrist.

With such riffraffs walking the corridors of political powers, no wonder the once powerful country, the mouth piece of political emancipation of Africa's freedom is a political shadow of her former self.

Osagyefo and our ancestors who fought colonialism, shared their blood and laid down their lives will certainly be spinning in their graves for fighting colonialism to give us our freedom.

Is anything wrong about taking pictures when your nation's economy is considered not in the expected shape? Why all this primitive talks, instead you too coming out with the realistic policy that could change the shape of our economy in a very positive way.

You, Ghanaians are too much fun of primitive and village talks that you know could pull/woo the village crowd into village mentality reactions of abuse which eventually create chaos and hatred in our communities, thus leaving us all in the limbo. Talking about our president posing in photos here and there in the world brings no solutions to our problems.

Ghanaians are a joke. One way of reducing government expendicture in to reduce the number of paliamentarians, many of them paid for doing nothing. By merging the districts, funds will be available for infrastructure and social developments that will help better the lives of the average Ghanaian. Also merge Ministries to release funds for the numerous ministers and deputy ministers into the local economy. Thirdly allow the MPs, principal secretsries, heads of departments and government co-operations heads hire their own places and pay for water, gas, electricity, cars and the petrol for their cars. Even in the US the congressmen use their pay to rent appartments to do their jobs and US is much richer than Ghana.
We need a leader who is bold and wise to carry out very improtant changes like those listed above and the local economy will improve dramatically.
The British left us with this old system which they don't use any more. We need to act now or keep quiet and stay in our misery with our visionless leaders.

This is the best way to portray our nation according to NDC government. Had it been an ordinary person, there will be no issue but for a president the whole of his communication team must resign.

Well this dos not mean that he does not care. It actually shows that our President despite his level of education is uncouth and perhaps naive. Sad for a country that prides itself in etiquette.

Some evil spirit must have some bewitched the thinking of some Ghanaians. It is a normal practice in Ghana for picture taking to follow any programme. So what these evil men are claiming to be a scandal by the President taking a picture after an an interview with CNN sounds to me as the utterances of someone who has lost his brain.
These evil persons are ignorant in many areas. They are ignorant about the benefits that will come out of the lobbyings the President is doing in the US. They are ignorant about how a country can develop. To them, a President should be too busy to have time to take pictures and if he does, his people will go hungry, sick and school standards will fall. How ridiculous.
CNN is the leading media on this earth and to get associated with it a big advantage for selling one's message accross the globe. It takes little and evil minds not to appreciate this.
