.....Won't come to the World Cup. Man, even his *supposed motherland* appear to not want to invite him back due to security logistics. Like The Clash would say *Should I Stay or Should I Go*. Should Obama go if the US advances past the knockout round?
South Africa police chief hopes U.S. loses so Obama Won't come to the World Cup.

South Africa police chief hopes U.S. loses so Obama Won't come to the World Cup.
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP)
South Africa's police commissioner said Friday his job will be made easier if the United States is knocked out of the World Cup in the first round, avoiding the massive security challenge of a visit by President Barack Obama.
General Bheki Cele told a parliamentary police committee meeting in Cape Town it was "50-50" whether Obama would visit Africa's first World Cup, but they had been told that if the Americans make the knockout stage of the tournament then Obama might jet in.
"One challenge is the American president, who is coming, not coming, coming, not coming," Cele said. "It's 50-50 as we stand.
"Our famous prayer is that the Americans don't make the second round. (That) they get eliminated and they go home."
Cele then paused and said "don't print that" to laughter from the audience that included members of parliament and police officials.
"We are told if they go to the second or third stage, the American president might come," Cele said. "It's one big challenge that we will be facing."
South Africa's top policeman said he had provisional confirmation that 43 heads of state would go to the World Cup, and "those 43 will be equal to this one operation" if Obama made the trip.
