“And his manager Barack Obama”
to thunderous waves of cheers and applause as Obama emerges from the rear and bounds down the aisle , arms raised between rows of sparkler fireworks.
Was Stacy Abrams the loser’s campaign manager? Asking for a friend?

Obama backed the violence in Kenya the first time Odinga was defeated.
