Barack Obama ignores his African relatives - Sarah and George

[Kofi]

Africans have a saying that goes "Blood is thicker than water" and by that we mean, blood/family is very important. Your father no matter how bad he may seem is still your father. You can never replace your biological father with a stranger. The stranger may be far better than your father but the stranger can never be your biological father. That is why we Africans say blood is thicker than water. The same applies to your biological mother, your biological brothers and sisters, and even your extended family members. Any person who doesn't see that blood is thicker than water is not a good person.

I just read a very sad article online and in that article Al Shabaab a terrorist group in Somaila (a branch of Al Qaeda) is threatening to kill Obama's grandmother Sarah Obama a 90 year old poor lady who lives in a small village in Kenya. According to the article, Al Shabaab is threatening this poor lady as a way of revenge for the death of Osama Bin Laden their leader. In short, Obama killed Osama Bin Laden so this group is threatening to kill Obama's grandmother and that the Kenyan government had to send police force to go guard this poor lady.


President Obama has ignored his African family line. President Obama doesn't help any of his relatives in Kenya. This poor grandmother of 90 years still lives in absolute poverty in a small village in Kenya and she gets no help at all from Obama. Obama's half brother George Obama still lives in the slums in Kenya and gets no help at all from his elder brother Barack Obama the president of the richest country on earth which is very sad. The American presidency can never buy you a new family line so if you ignore your family line just because of your position then you are not being a good person at all. I used to like Obama a lot. I still like him but not that much why because Obama ignores his poor African relatives. I still believe blood is thicker than water.

I remember in 2008 when Obama was doing very bad in the polls, he left the campaign trail and came all the way to the poor village in Kenya to see his grandmother just to get "Sympathy votes" and then he started ignoring them once he won the presidency. Even he did not want to invite any of his family members in Kenya to attend his inauguration. It became a very hot topic on cnn before Obama decided to invite just a few of them to attend his inauguration at the very last minute which is very bad.

Now it is another election season and Obama is trying to create another story just to get some sympathy votes and that is exactly what I think. Obama does not see that blood is thicker than water. Obama is the president of the richest country on earth and I respect him for that. But on the other hand, Obama doesn't see that blood is thicker than water which is very sad

The poor relatives in Kenya get no help at all from Obama yet they are being targetted by terrorists all because of Obama which is very sad.
