Sounds as though the bloom is off the rose in Kenya. What’s so great about having a Kenyan in the White House if he doesn’t pay any attention to or give money to his “home country”?
They sound as though they consider they are owed something by their compatriot; a bit irritated, feeling neglected. I’m sure and certain higher ups in Kenya have copies of *everything* needed to prove his Kenyan birth, if indeed he was born there.
Pinging a few of you - hmmmmmm.
Obama better send an emissary to Kenya again. Sending one there about every 6 months is not cutting it. Time to pay tribute to shut them up.
I don’t think it’s that...they had Raila Odinga foisted upon them as Prime Minister thanks to the UN and Koffi Anan acting as mediator...as the result of the ‘unrest’ after the election.
Not every Kenyan is a friend of obama.
I picked up on that same attitude. You're in a position of power now. It's your obligation to direct lots of money to your home country. At the same time, Obama is thinking, "Shut the hell up! Are you trying to screw up my arrangements?". Greed vs greed. Kenyan warlord vs Kenyan warlord. Popcorn futures must be going through the roof.
I read through most of the transcript, and it reads like a British satire -- perhaps Yes, Minister?
Nothing a little increase in foreign aid won’t fix.
