Obama refuses to send aid to his kin
After Barack Obama was elected to the US Senate in 2004,a delegation from the remote African village where his father was raised journeyed to Washington,seeking financial help. But Obama offered them advice,not money.
Now that Obama has moved to the White House,expectations of financial benefit have grown even greater in this tiny hamlet where water is still delivered to thatched huts on the backs of donkeys.
“There are still those who are waiting for him to send millions,’’ said Nicholas Rajula,a Kogelo businessman.
Dreams alone seem to be sustaining those counting on an economic boom in this rural corner of western Kenya,near Lake Victoria,where the American president’s father –also named Barack Obama –grew up and where many of his relatives remain.
great post. I would tend to agree but my USA polictics isnt up to scratch
you cant expect him to help any other country when US needs help more than ever.
