Reuters underline the point..Obama done zilch for Kogelo and Kenya

[RV Pundit]

So JFK, Bush and Clinton can help but Obama can't. Obama choose to be a little man. I am sure if he explained to American how really poor folks are in Africa, they would understand. It also would help If Obama wanted to be a great president.

Obama shrunk his global responsibility thinking he would be loved in USA...but the only love he has if from us kenyans. The kenyans he has NEVER helped.

People, listen to me. Obama can't and will not help Kenya as long as he is president. He can't even help Chicago.  Its in the USA political system and the law. He can even be impeached for doing it. Indirectly, yes he can.

What did kogelo do for Obama when his mother was raising him.. Alone?  What folks here forget is that muzungu (and Obama is one) is not raised to look after the villagers that raised him.  It's not in his nature.  As a parent abroad, I am watching keenly at those parents with teenagers as they battle with identity.  Our children know that they are Kenyan by decent and that's that.  The rest is uzungu.  This crew will never understand why id  send money to support my sisters children.  Yet contribute to a charity like wateraid for provision of water to unknown African children he saw in an advert.

As we castigate Obama, please note that supporting kogelo in the way that we expect him to may not have crossed his mind at all.

Am loving these excuses
1. Parpken thinks his hands are tied by his office
2. Termie wishes we suspend logic till Osama is out of office and he is infatuated with Moon Ki's tinkered-aid-theory
3. Bryan275 thinks Osama is no negro so he has the detachment of a bazungu not to mention Kogello did nuthin for him anyway.

Osama's greatness is largely due to hiis Negritude, his Kenianness and he knows it. That's why he visited here in 2006. That in 6yrs he has NEVER as much as tried to do nuthin for Kenia personally is inexcusable. And nobody is aksing for Garden City Mall there, juust tokens....a library,cattle dip would do

Obama is not suppose to be the average kid. He is an hell of a world leader. Bush and Clinton did  a lot for Africa. Obama has barely talked about poverty in Africa anywhere outside Africa. Obama met his Kogelo relative and it sure seem the first time they got anything from Obama.

Well vooke, perhaps we need to elect governments that are transparent and accountable.

Right now Obamas msaada would end up in miss thang's handbag of desire.  Besides these jakogelos should commercialise the intellectual/copyright property they have in the name of Obama/Kogelo.  By now they should be marketing merchandise made locally, sold internationaly even canned mbuta. 

Lakini wapi.  The wretched folks are waiting for dosh.  Although to be fair a collective GoK should have enabled them too.

Another excuse that Termie likes. Kenya gov is not North Korea. Obama is free to come and build something on his own. He can send his team to supervise some worthwhile project.

That is where I would look after exhausting all plausible reasons the county cannot do it first.

After confirming that the money lost to Things Desire and the like cannot buy a desk and a chair, only then might look elsewhere.

If local and GOK bears any responsibility for these people, it is glossed over with claims that are easily shown to be false. 

I could not spot Malik at dinner with Obamathough; it will be entertaining to see his explanation.  He should start a comedy tour, all proceeds going to a Kogelo charity of his choice.

Even if we choose to ignore the numbers that show increased aid, just by visiting Kenya while in office, Obama has done more for country than any of his predecessors.

Osama support is on several levels and I will try to rank them in the order of objectivity starting with the most objective
#1- his policies both local (OsamaCare) and international (Iran,Cuba....)
Here anyone of any persuasion,may examine them and judge him a good or bad thing for the U.S. and the world

#2- his ancestry. Osama is Negro and Negro are used to being anything but first. Coupled with slavery and primitivity of their majority, being the first U.S. president is intoxicating for minorities or colored people especially Negroes

From here we come down to Kenia
#3- he's father. Osama Snr was Kenyan and Kenians are mighty glad he is. They gave the world the first Negro POTUS. There is some sense of patriotism in cheering one of your own.

#4- Osama Snr was Luo. This gets twisted. First Luos have every right even within Kenia to cheer him more than anybody else. And they don't disappoint! Throw in our tribalism where non-Luos are more likely to dis him out of envy. Throw in as well 2013 elections where Osama appeared to hesitate to support ICC indictees candidates who are now in office.

A Kenian who was/is not Jubirlee is highly unlikely to see much good in Osama. And the converse is true. And every debate I have observed here and outside on Osama invariably boils down to this. These biases make us overly defensive of Osama or hostile.

All said,there are still some good points each side have to offer. What am sure of is if Osama had no Kenian roots, if say he was Ghanian, some defenses would be less passionate

It's the other way. He can't take small issues that locals should address
