You would think that if a US President was going to get involved in a foreign election, it would be because he thinks the candidate he supports would make the region safer.  Our President seems to do it for revenge, or because he looks bad…

Repeating a pattern seen in other struggles against tyranny, the Obama administration has refused to send serious military aid to those who are willing to fight for themselves — in this case the Nigerian military. Instead, the White House has critiqued the Nigerians about human rights, apparently unaware of the irony of giving a lecture on humanity to those struggling against some of the most evil and inhumane jihadists on earth.

Assessing the motives of these decisions isn’t difficult. The political firm founded by Obama’s former chief strategist, David Axelrod, reportedly supports and advises Gen. Buhari’s party.

This is reminiscent of the involvement of Jeremy Bird, Obama’s 2012 field director, in Israel’s election this month. Whether these services are performed for love or money is anyone’s guess, but it fits a pattern of an Obama administration waging political warfare against allies who have made White House policies look bad.

Of course the Obama Campaign would be involved.  Because obviously!
