African wisdom in the US

Obama showed the world that he still has some African wisdom in him. African chiefs use to resolve the issues by calling the warring factions in their society to sit under the tree most often next to the kraal and drink their an African beer. Obama went back to his roots by call together Professor Gates and Sergeant Crowley to his place. He chose to sit under the tree instead of a well air-conditioned white house with a beer. Deputy President Biden was also part of history as hi joined the beer sipping trio. After the meeting Professor could even crack a joke about Crowley saying he is quiet a likeable guy when he is not arresting someone?
