George Obama sits in front of his home in a slum in Nairobi, Kenya
In November 2008, I stood in a bar in Kenya watching Barack Obama give his victory speech. From the wild cheering of the crowd on TV, and his repeated appeals to them personally—"You said," "You heard," "You called"—I felt as if the people of America knew this man far better than I, even though we shared the same father. If there was a leading light in the Obama clan, he was it; and if there was a shadowed place that no one liked to talk about, then that, I guess, was me.
Amongst all the bickering on Obama's job which some of us aren't happy with as President, which isn't quite a year as yet. Here's a story from Newsweek of some positivity and hope, by George Obama in Kenya. His and our President stories sort of coinside with their difficult teenage years.
