But how much could the Old Mans estate be worth? Not much. Maybe a small government pension. A piece of worthless land. I try to stay out of it. Whatever is there has probably been spent on lawyers by now. But you see, everyone expected so much from the Old Man. He made them think that he had everything, even when he had nothing..."
...For the briefest moment I sensed Mark hesitate, like a rock climber losing his footing. Then, almost immediately, he regained his composure and waved for the check. Who knows? he said. Whats certain is that I dont need the stress. Lifes hard enough without all that excess baggage. We stood up to leave, and I insisted on paying the bill. Outside we exchanged addresses and promised to write, with a dishonesty that made my heart ache. When I got home, I told Auma how the meeting had gone. She looked away for a moment, then broke out with a short, bitter laugh. Whats so funny? I was just thinking about how life is so strange. You know, as soon as the Old Man died, the lawyers contacted all those who might have a claim to the inheritance. Unlike my mum, Ruth has all the documents needed to prove who Marks father was. So of all of the Old Mans kids, Marks claim is the only one thats uncontested. Again Auma laughed, and I looked up at the picture hanging on her wall, the same picture pasted inside Ruths album, of three brothers and a sister, smiling sweetly for the camera..."
If you read carefully, you will see he must have been in Kenya BEFORE THE ESTATE WAS SETTLED.

Is the year he graduated missing?
same face.
Yes, the baseball bat face.
How much clearer can it be that he is admitting he can’t prove Sr. was his father.
He covers himself every step of the way in that book, he even has Sarah say ‘NONE OF YOU ARE HIS CHILDREN’ to Kezia’s brood. Why? Because one day, if it all comes out, then he can say ‘that’s what they told me’ - everything important is spoken by someone else. It’s worth reading just to understand that aspect.
Ok, maybe this shouldn’t have to be explained, but the one with Castro was a photoshop joke, not one taken seriously.
The same image was, for a time, posted on the officially Obama web site - if memory serves correctly.
And Obama's chin is not so deformedly pointy in this one.
Now, Acorn has dissolved and newly resurrected in groups of regional areas as Community supporters of some kind. Glenn Beck has the names of the new entities.
Doubtless, he will come out with some wonderful jobs nationwide shortly before the election campaign gets in full swing. He has already managed to sabotage Toyota, with an extraordinary amount of bad/worrisome press. Yes, there are real concerns. But exploited to the max.
NOW GM is suddenly hiring 1200 employees (the laid off first, then new laborers). The sabotage of America is happening at every level. All simultaneously.
God help us in our day, in the name of Jesus, amen.
Yes geologist - God will be the ONLY answer. So tragic really. How could America have ever let her guard drop to the degree that they would elect an unknown but proven communist? I’m stunned really!! CO
