    The president can call himself a "dead goat", but when it comes to "commercial/product endorsement", he has to pause and think deep and not belch all over competing products!!

    The Prez said: "I don't like American cars", period.

    He did not say he didn't like "Ford Expeditions".

    So what's this fool-soldier nonsense?

  • Kwadwo 7 years ago

    Mahama was simply caught for taken a bribe and his response is simply I don't like the form of the bribe but I took it. Omg, he is not that smart and shallow.
