    US President Barack Obama has nominated Dartmouth College President Jim Yong Kim, a public health expert of South Korean origin, to head the World Bank.

The selection is a surprise to many as Kim had not been listed as a potential candidate prior to the announcement. Other candidates in the running included Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and UN ambassador Susan Rice.

A US citizen has led the Bank since it was founded in 1944 prompting developing nations to call for a change.

"I do not think that the World Bank could have a better leader," Obama said as he made the announcement with Kim at his side in the White House rose garden today.

     Pals, permit me to use this pidgin english "Nor be See Finish be dis?"

Obama is the beggest fool on earth.....The reason he chose the korean is because he knew the Asia continent is taking over the world Economy and as for Africans(the fool origin) has nothing to offer the world
