He reflected on his trip at the back of a plane on Saturday, talking above the roar of the engines to the three print reporters who have been covering his trip.
Obama's next big international journey will be in 2007--he's looking at China, India and Indonesia, ``where ironically I actually have more of a childhood than I do in Kenya.''
... More of a childhood ? That implies he had some form of a childhood in Kenya. To have a childhood there, he had to have lived there. If he didn't have one, he would have said ( when referring to Indonesia ) something like :"Where I actually had a childhood as compared to Kenya ".
You said, “More of a childhood ? That implies he had some form of a childhood in Kenya.”
So true. Good catch! Remember, too, that his stepgranny, upon recently receiving an honorary doctorate for her work with children, particularly ORPHANS, in Kenya, told reporters that even the President of the US “passed through” her hands. This implies that he was in Kenya as a child, since the context of the conversation was her work with children. She wouldn’t logically say he passed through her hands if he were an adult at the time, which is the timeframe when he supposedly first visited Kenya.
That is a very interesting statement.
