~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just might be near the end, but there will be a transcript.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
Were you able to catch any of it?
Saying his father beat him and his mother a lot.
Impact on him — his life has always been about
self expressiong .. calligraphy, writing, music ..
at some point in a man’s life, extraordinary things occur .. death of someone close, loss of job, an extraordinary political movement .. fear to hope .. GAG ...
he remembers when he was growing up in Kenya remembers that
he would wake up in the morning, 2 or 3, and when you’re a child and you hear thuds and screams and hear your mother shouting .. the person who’s the closest to you in the world.
You see the light of a lamp in the living room .. and hearing the thuds and you can’t protect your mother.
(he’s getting weepy) When you’re a child and in an
environment which doesn’t talk about these things or
where you’re an outsider (mult-racial child, etc.)
the only person who understands you is your mother.
There’s a bond .. and he found out that in many ways
because he didn’t get the love or support from his
father .. tho he was brilliant .. but he was a social failure.
Note .. he does run on .. and didn’t finish that last thought.
The book is “From Nairobi to Szenchen” (sp?) in China.
He just called his (and Obama’s) father a “social failure” and Larry King suddenly cut him off and went to commercial.
Nothing negative. All pandering pr, all the time.
NOT INTERESTED.
Is he still on? We got commercials.
Back on.
Enough dear Lord enough....puleeeeeeeeeeeease.lol
Nevermind, he’s on now
I asked this question to starwise.
:) So glad you alerted us..this is intriguing.
Thanks for summarizing what he said.....for some reason,I thought he was going to have an english accent. Hmmm.. And he suprisingly looks more like obama than I would have expected. IF they haven’t spoken about their father, I wonder why.
Thanks; I’ll try to catch the repeat. What were your general impressions of him?
Is everything about Obama half?
I guess it isn’t on now. My husband said he can’t find King on.
Is he on live, or calling in from the hovel?
Hut sweet hut
Speaks excellent English .. wonder when he left Kenya
A little artsy/fartsy ..and bleeding heart lib in his attitude and outlook .. from fear to hope ...
The book is semi-autobiographical fiction
He and 0 haven't spoken about their recollections of impact of their father.
Aww jeeze .. I just found that they both have a genetic predisposition to sit on a couch with another guy .. weeeuuu-weeeuuu-weeeuuu.....
Yep, it was brief. I suspect if we want to watch it, dvr it. I saw enough, combined with starwise’s summary. I see no physical similarities between them and their father, yet, they look alike. WIERD! He’s peddling his book....which would not have come to pass, had his brother not became prez in my opinion.
