Why Did Obama Skip going to Kenya????

[RifleM1]

Could it be that he didn't want a photo OP in front of his brothers shack?

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[zantax]

More likely, he didn't want Americans seeing them celebrating the homecoming of their first American President, or draw attention to his campaigning for Odinga.

[FreeAndClear]

to prove to the possum it could actually be done? oh no wait that's why the chicken crossed the road...

[StoneScratcher]

Excellent points! Odinga--most people think Odinga is a transfat filled lunch-box snack.

[SFC(R)L]

if they have a mandatory military service law, he may have been vulnerable.

[Vaard]

yeah, bush purposely avoided kenya when he visted africa also......


bush must have been born in kenya as well......


you know, we never did see bush's birth certificate..... he even went to court to fight it being released.........

[Floydian]

BC thread spinoff alert!!!

The difference, I would support efforts to make him prove he is eligible to serve either before he took office or during. Why? Because I don't care if he has an R after his name, if he isn't eligible, I'd want him out.

i support having to prove eligibility as well.......


still doesnt change the fact that bush went to court to keep his birth certificate form being released and also avoided kenya on his trip to africa.......


so of course that proves that bush was born in kenya.......

Was Bush Sr. a Kenyan citizen?

[Vaard]

i think barbara was a kenya citizen......

[harumph]

Perhaps his mother's midwife wants to see what he looks like all grown up.
What a homecoming that would have been. Oh, well...

[TaylorW65]

Could it be that he didn't want a photo OP in front of his brothers shack?

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

To say that he skipped Kenya would imply that Kenya was on the schedule in the first place! If Kenya was not on the schedule then you can equally ask why did Obama skip Burkina Faso?

Would anyone ask the question of say a first generation Italian American that went to Europe and didn't put Italy on the docket? I'm pretty sure they would.

[harumph]

He probably didn't have all his shots up to date.

(I can still feel that gamma globulin shot.)

[TaylorW65]

Sure, if they were just going on a vacation. But this trip for Obama was as POTUS and Kenya just wasn't on the docket this trip.

[Penrod]

Why? Was it so far out of the way? I know there was a Veterans hospital there.:lol:

I just don't think there is anything to read into for him not going to Kenya.

[zantax]

I just don't think there is anything to read into for him not going to Kenya.


Well, he said it was because they weren't democratic enough, funny, didn't stop him from campaigning for Odinga now did it?

[Penrod]

I just don't think there is anything to read into for him not going to Kenya.
Your free to have that opinion. The guy can go to NY to see a play but he cant go see the country most of his family lives in when hes right near it.

[mozysafe]

He didnt go to kenya because they have a terrible Govt. Itd be like going to Myanmar.

[zantax]

Your free to have that opinion. The guy can go to NY to see a play but he cant go see the country most of his family lives in when hes right near it.

And he can claim it's because they aren't sufficiently democratic, right after leaving Russia...

[ExDem]

i support having to prove eligibility as well.......


still doesnt change the fact that bush went to court to keep his birth certificate form being released and also avoided kenya on his trip to africa.......


so of course that proves that bush was born in kenya.......

Do you have a link to where Bush went to court to keep his birth certificate from being released? I have not heard that and can't find anything.

[ksdb]

The real reason is that Michelle hates the shopping in Kenya.

[mozysafe]

And he can claim it's because they aren't sufficiently democratic, right after leaving Russia...

Russia has nukes, Kenya has spears

Please tell us it's Britney.

How many nukes does Ghanna have?

[mozysafe]

how many nukes does ghanna have?

117,000

[zantax]

Did Obama offer to disarm ourselves if they would say they like him?

[penner01]

Could it be that he didn't want a photo OP in front of his brothers shack?

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:This is pretty much a no-brainer. The press follows where ever he goes, right? So, does anybody really think he's going to take the press someplace they might run into people that know him or that might have a story to tell?

[mozysafe]

Did Obama offer to disarm ourselves if they would say they like him?

Cmon now we'd still have over 1700 nukes. That is enough to kill every "brown" in the world.

I'd prefer we just target the liberals and communists.

Bomb little moscow and youll prolly hit me.

[mdk190]

Clearly many of you have run out real things to bitch about. Keep up the lackluster work.

Advocating nuclear genocide? How neat. Sorry this world cannot be your right wing echo chamber. :boohoo:

Genocide? Since when is a political ideology a race of people?

I guess it is to those expressing "faux" outrage.:rolleyes:

[mdk190]

Genocide can be committed without regards to race alone.

[Getty Girl]

he didn't want an embarrassing reunion with the midwife who delivered him.

[PheonixOps]

Could it be that he didn't want a photo OP in front of his brothers shack?

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

He probably didn't go so he could put a sock in the mouth of the idiots who would say "see he went back to his home country" "he's a secret Muslim and went to visit his leader" or some other silly ******** like that.............
Or most likely he went to a country that showed some hope as well as an historical reference.
Here's what your boys say:

"President Obama says his first trip to Sub-Saharan Africa won't include a stop in his father's Kenyan homeland because of his view that the violence-plagued country still has a long way to go in becoming a free and open democracy.

Obama will make a stop in Ghana next week at the end of a trip to Russia and Italy. In an interview with allafrica.com, he said Kenya's leaders "do not seem to be moving into a permanent reconciliation that would allow the country to move forward."

Can it be accomplished by aiming imaginary nuclear missiles at them?

[mozysafe]

Clearly you think its nifty to commit nuclear holocaust against other Americans solely based on their political affiliations.

Look at your signature....shouldn't he be allowed to say what he wants?

[mozysafe]

Can it be accomplished by aiming imaginary nuclear missiles at them?

My imaginary communist missile shield will protect all liberals.

[mdk190]

Did I say he couldn't say it? I just think it's neat to see the true colors of some posters from time to time.

I am sorry to keep you from such riveting threads about Obama's homosexuals lover, or his radical Muslims ideology, or his black separatist ideology. Carry on indeed.

Michelle found out the lobster cocktail appetizer was taken off the menu at the Kenya Ritz Carlton for health reasons.

so of course that proves that bush was born in kenya.......

Again, do you have a link to show that Bush went to court to keep his BC from being released?

[Lima India Bravo]

He didn't go because all of the ACORN and White House Staffer moles he has planted here as posters on this forum told him the "Fauxrage" meter has had a very low reading of late, and he had to do something to get it back up on the "Indignation" scale......
