WHERE'S BARACK OBAMA? KENYA IS ON FIRE; 275 ARE DEAD
IN YET ANOTHER UNEXPECTED INCIDENT IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, OBAMA ABANDONS HIS "BROTHERS" AND "SISTERS" IN KENYA AS THAT COUNTRY BURNS, BECAUSE IT IS POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT FOR HIM TO DO SO.
WHAT ABOUT GRANNY? WHY WON'T MILLIONAIRE OBAMA WHO LIVES IN A CHICAGO MANSION PAY TO INSTALL RUNNING WATER AND PLUMBING FOR SOMEONE HE CALLS "GRANNY?"
IS OBAMA STAYING AT THE SAME HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS AS HUCKABEE?
(CHICAGO)(January 2, 2008) Senator Barack Obama is missing in action. Nothing so reveals the character of a man as how he acts during a crisis. Last week all of the presidential candidates were evaluated on their responses to the murder of Benazir Butto. Earlier, Governor Mike Huckabee made light of a foreign policy question by attesting he stayed at a "Holiday Inn Express last night." Tuesday it was Obama's turn to roast and revel his mendacious character and hollow principles.
In 2006 Obama went to Kenya and cried out "All of you are my brothers; all of you are my sisters." http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2006-08-27-obama-trip_x.htm
It seems Barry O has forgotten his brothers and sisters now that Kenya is on fire.
Obama's Luo tribe, of which he is so proud in presidential debates, trotting out his "international" relatives as evidence of his expansive and experienced world view, are at risk of losing their lives and their "big man" in Washington is ignoring the situation.
And while we are at it, why does Obama brag about his "granny's" lifestyle with no running water and no plumbing or flush toilets? He has made millions; can't he send his step-grandmother a thousand bucks to install a well and faucet? Or does he prefer that his relatives live in squalor so he can make political capital of their deprivation? What a creep.
Obama, the more you know, the more disgusted you became.
I would not be writing this and blaming Obama if he had ignored his Kenyan relatives. But when he constantly tries to exploit the existence of his foreign relatives and makes political hay out of both their poverty and loyalty, as Obama has done, doesn’t he owe them something more than nothing when they are in danger?
Kenya has just gone through a national election that was relatively peaceful. Until this weekend when tribal loyalties trumped democracy and unleashed mass murder. When the ballots were counted in a suspicious manner, riots broke out. Over 275 people are dead. Over 50 people died in a church that was torched. People are literally being hacked to death with machetes.
And Obama is silent. Not a peep out of him about either the violent situation or concern for his Kenyan relatives. He's "doing a Huckabee" about current events in Kenya. Who? Me?
Well, any fool in Iowa, and there appear to be a lot of fools in Iowa, who votes for a man who forgets "family" in Kenya as casually as he changes his socks, and who talks about his "granny" living without water or a toilet when he is a multimillionaire and lives in a mansion in Chicago, is uninformed and in denial. Would you want a candidate like that for a relative if you didn’t know his last name? I don't think so. Of course not. Then why would you vote to put this joker in the White House?
Obama has fooled a lot of people during this presidential campaign. A lot of suckers have donated over $100 million to his campaign. Suckerrr.
But just look at his reaction to the anarchy in Kenya—total silence and disinterest—and you will know how Obama will treat the American People if he were ever in power. It's always all about Obama, all the time. What can you do for him, and what can he do you for? Look at the way he exploits his Kenyan relatives, and then ignores them when they are in danger. Look. Obama is the classic huckster pol that knows how to milk the people for every last drop. And then gives nothing in return.
I don’t know about you, but if I had a "granny" that was living without running water and without a toilet, as Obama constantly reminds us his is, I would see to it that she got the comforts of life. Yesterday. Amazingly, Obama brags about his Granny's deprivation and the media cheers him on.
Obama and the media, sickos together. Perfect together.
I can hear the toilets flushing in the background.

FYI:
In a statement broadcast over U.S. government-funded Voice of America radio, Obama, who seeks to become America's first black president, said he was "deeply troubled" by the turmoil in the east African country.
"The instability and tragic violence pose an urgent and dangerous threat to the people of Kenya, and to Kenyan democracy," said Obama, who is running for the Democratic nomination for the November U.S. presidential election.
Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki's government on Wednesday accused rival Raila Odinga's backers of "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" after an explosion of tribal violence over a disputed election killed more than 300 people.
"Despite irregularities in the vote tabulation, now is not the time to throw that strong democracy away," Obama said, one day before a contest in Iowa launches the state-by-state nominating contests in the 2008 White House race.
"Now is a time for President Kibaki, opposition leader Odinga, and all of Kenya's leaders to call for calm, to come together, and to start a political process to address peacefully the controversies that divide them," Obama said.
"Now is the time for this terrible violence to end.
Obama, who visited Kenya including his ancestral village in the country's remote West in 2006, was born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and a white American mother. His father, who is now dead, grew up herding goats before studying in America then returning to Kenya to become a noted economist.
A first-term senator from Illinois who has been criticized for not having much international experience, Obama also spoke to U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice about Kenya's turmoil, his communications director Robert Gibbs said.
"The way forward is not through violence -- it is through democracy, and the rule of law," Obama said. "To all of Kenya's people, I ask you to renew Kenya's democratic tradition, and to seek your dreams in peace."
Obama's statement will be translated and included in the VOA's new Swahili-language program to East Africa on Thursday, the broadcaster said.
