"The difference between a white person and us is that they tend to appreciate humane things. You might not like NDC or NPP, but this is something we should encourage our leaders to do more. You can call it a PR, whatever, but I respect the president for some of these little things. This is the president encouraging entrepreneurship and telling everybody that whatever you do legally matters, and the country appreciates you."
