There is no need to substantiate the obvious as Jean Marie Seroney said. It self-evident that Obama has done very very little for his family.
(A little retreat from the "back door" and "well-known" aunt sort of stuff.)
I can't comment on his family because I have little knowledge of his private affairs. In fact, I don't have the slightest idea of what, say, Uhuru, for example, has done or not done for his family. As a matter of fact, I don't even know what some of my own family members do for other family members.
Perhaps you, like Malik, believe all of Obama's relatives should be enjoying free mansions, free fancy cars, free
malayas by the dozen, ..., being "Big People all over the place.
Kienyeji style. That "style" is best left where it belongs; don't extrapolate it.
If you have detailed information on Obama's dealings with his relatives, please share them with us; then we can have a more objective discussion. But you need to give up the African-village mentality, in which the "Big Man" is expected to rain freebies on the locals, and especially relatives, regardless of all other factors. Therein lies the root of Malik's bitterness. (Yours is, of course, much more difficult to understand.)
, kogelo, nyanza,
* You are again showing the unhelpful dependency culture that is always harmful in the long run---that of "our man is in the big house, so we expect manna to rain from heaven".
* You seem to assume that it is for Obama to rack his brains on what is needed there and to then decide, by himself that people need certain things; there is danger in that approach. (Think about it.) As it turns out, it is only now that people in those places are starting to decide that they could ask Obama for help in some things. They could not be bothered to ask before now, but Our Pundit, from some far-off place, thinks it is Obama's problem to decide what they might ask for.
Weeping and wailing more than the bereaved.
Let it go, buddy. Obama has managed to become what he is and to do what he has done. That cannot be changed, and there is little to be gained in getting so worked up about any of it. Even the Tea-Party types, Birthers, etc. have finally learned from some "wise" Kenyan words:
accept and move on. Now, go off and start your preparations for the WARM WELCOME of this great man who has scored one of the biggest goals ever for the underdog. And with no whining, please.
