A little research may have revealed James Inhofe's reason for disapproving of President Obama's reception of President Outtara, the recently and fairly elected President of Cote d'Ivoire. At first we thought maybe there was some kind of financial payoff, direct or indirect, involved. We haven't ruled that out. However, we think we have discovered another possible reason for Inhofe's approval of the ex-president of Ivory Coast and for his disapproval of Cote d'Ivoire's President Outtara.
Inhofe was and may still be a resident of the notorious C Street residence, home of a Christian fundamentalist sect with numerous residents including U. S. senators. The C Street residents represent a powerful lobbying organization not registered as one, and thus escaping laws relating to lobbyists. You can read about C Street and its residents at http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2009/07/21/c_street Inhofe's C Street connection is old news.
But because Outtara, the duly-elected President of Ivory Coast, is a Muslim, this probably explaions some if not all of Inhofe's antipathy towards him.
Ex-President Gabagbo is a Christian. (Never mind that his refusal to step down has cost more than 3,000 Ivoirians their lives.) Outtara is a Muslim.
