Barack Obama didn’t make it home for Christmas this year. He passed up golfing in Hawaii and visiting his grandmother, Madelyn Duncan. For the first time in years, he was too busy to make the trip. His business took him, of course, to chilly, windblown Iowa, where on Jan. 3, Democrats will hold the first presidential caucus of election year 2008.
So Obama’s family gathered around him instead in his home in Chicago. Sister Maya SoetoroNg, her daughter Suhaila, and husband Konrad were there, as Maya has been for the past six weeks - six weeks during which she’s ventured forth each day to campaign for her brother around the country.
So too were sister Auma and her daughter Akinyi. Auma is Obama’s father’s daughter by his first marriage in Kenya.
And of course wife Michelle and their daughters Sasha and Malia. The family had begun to arrive in Chicago over the weekend. Obama himself was the last to arrive, on Christmas Eve, having squeezed in campaigning until the last moment before the holiday.
Auma,Maya SoetoroNg,Suhaila,Konrad,Akinyi,Sasha and Malia,Madelyn Duncan: Wake me up from this nightmare.
I don’t know what kind of Christian Obambi may consider himself to be, but all varieties of Christian I know go to services, mass, etc. on Christmas Day (or midnight mass on Christmas eve). It seems most highly likely that Obambi was listening to Pastor Wright for 2007 Christmas services.
