I, Lucas Smith, have recently completed my reading of the book Homeland: An Extraordinary Story of Hope and Survival, by George Hussein Obama (President Barack Obama's youngest brother in Kenya).
George Hussein Obama, in his book, which was published in January of 2010 depicts Kenya just as I, Lucas Smith, saw Kenya in February of 2009.
There are several segments of the book that aid in dipicting Kenya as I saw Kenya in 2009. Many critics (and Obots) have made claims that my, Lucas Smith's, depicting of Kenya in 2009 was tremendously inaccurate and downright impossible.
Let's see what President Obama's brother has to say about that in his new book...
1a. Lucas Smith, Kenya, 2009: "I had lunch at a small eatery and noticed that the club sandwich with fried plantains was now known as "Obama's plate of the day."
1b. Critics and Obamanuts: Plantains are a common and tasty treat served in the Caribbean and specifically in the Dominican Republic. Lucas Smith has confused, in his lies, the traditional food of the Caribbean for that of Africa and specifically Kenya. Kenyans do not eat plantains and plantains are not common to East Africa.
1c. George Obama at page 217: ""If you had cash and freedom, what would you buy to eat?" I'd ask Ramjo and the others. "Anything. You can go anywhere and afford anything. What would it be?"....."Pilau," Ramjo would answer....."Nah, matoke," I'd counter. "Has to be matoke. Nothing fills your belly like matoke." Matoke was a TRADITIONAL, thick KENYAN stew made of cooked PLANTIANS, potatoes, and meat."
1d. George Obama at page 234: "And then I took my first step into freedom and onto the teaming streets of the city. The four of us, along with the rest of the Huruma gang, headed directly for the nearest CAFE. Rambjo ordered pilau and I ordered MATOKE (PLANTAINS). That was our first, delicious taste of freedom, precious freedom."
Looks like, Lucas Smith, wasn't the only eating plantains at a cafe in Nairobi, Kenya.
Plantain facts for dummies: The country of Uganda (Kenya's next door neighbor)is one of the biggest producers of plantains in the world.
Obama's face was on everything and everywhere in Nairobi, Kenya in 2009...
2a. Lucas Smith, Kenya, 2009: "As an American I was bombarded with questions in English (English is the official language of Kenya) on my feelings and opinions of a Kenyan governing the United States of America. The first several times I responded in saying that not enough time had elapsed since Barack Obama's appointment as President of the USA, and that I'd have to hold my official opinion until at least January 2010, a year in office might be sufficient for me to judge his ability to govern the USA. Naturally I thought that by "Kenyan" they were referring to Barack Obama's blood, being that his father Barack Cbama sr was a native of Kenya. After a day and a half of my being in Nairobi I learned that they were literally referring to president Barack Obama jr as being born in Kenya, a native of Kenya. Now I started asking questions, did his father's Kenyan blood somehow entitle Barack jr to the equivalent of a native Kenyan? no, not all, I was to find out. They were referring to Barack Obama jr's physical birth on Kenyan soil."
2b. Critics and Obamanuts: President Obama's face and his name was not really plastered around that much so in Nairobi or anywhere in Kenya. A person would not see Obama's face and name on everything and in Nairobi, e.g., not on T-shirts, not on signs nor posters in the street, not on all the TV stations and news broadcasts.
2c. George Obama at page 275 thru 276: "Most of the restaurants and bars around Nairobi have a TV set, and many show international news channels like CNN. Via the TV news the Kenyan people followed the unfolding battle in America for the Democratic nomination for president. Kenya celebrated the rise of Barack Obama, it's "lost" African son and the possibility that the first Lou president was going to elected -- in America! The reggae hit, Barack Obama" by Cocoa Tea boomed out from the matatus (city in Kenya are called "matatus"); bars set up wide screen TVs so customers could watch Barack Obama action. Like everyone else, I found myself gripped by the powerful rhetoric of this man. As my American brother went from underdog to odds-on-favorite, the interest in his Kenyan roots and heritage mushroomed. His face peered out of every Kenyan newspaper and magazine: T shirts sported his most popular slogans, like Change You Can Believe In. He seemed to be EVERYWHERE, and I suppose it was hardly surprising when the world's press came looking for me (George Obama)."
Looks like I, Lucas Smith, wasn't the only one that noticed Barack Obama's face and name on EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE in Nairobi, Kenya. There was even a reggae song called "Barack Obama" by Cocoa Tea which blarred from public city buses in Nairobi all day long. Did you know that?
English is spoken in Kenya (and is the official, though not national, language of Kenya) , but most all Kenyans speak terribly poor quality English.
3a. I, Lucas Smith, in response to many critics and Obamanuts and their claims of having called on the telephone to the Coast Province General Hospital (and even one nut, Great Kim, who lied and claimed that she/he spoke with chief admin doctor Helton Maganga) and claimed to have spoken with staff there, that, communicating with the hopsital staff via telephone may not be possible over the phone because many Kenyans speak very poor grade English. I, Lucas Smith, and other serious investigators even attempted to place calls to the hospitals telephone number that is listed on the CPGH birth certificate of Obama. I, and other serious investigators, found that a female receptionist would invariably answer: "Coast General Hospital". After that nothing could be understood, and they certainly DIDN'T understand a word that we spoke to them in English. Within 10 or so second the confused receptionist would hand up the telephone. Yet, the Obamanut and critics claimed they had no problems with communicating with the hospital telephonically.
3b. Critics and Obamanuts claimed that Kenyans speak fine English, I mean they made it sound as if we Americans might take a lesson or two from Kenyans and their "fine" English.
3c. George Obama at page 226-230: ""Obama is it?" You wish to make a point?" "I do Your Honor," I replied. "Am I permitted to speak in English? I find it a more suitable language to express what can be complex arguments".
"In Kenya, English is the language of the ruling classes. Only those with a fine education can speak it fluently, and no one in that court had been speaking anything other than Swahili. My question was a ruse to unsettle the prosecutor, and perhaps even the judge. Of course, the judge had to accede to my request, for the language of the elite had to be his language too."
""Permission to speak in granted," the judge replied. He switched to English. "And please, or course you may argue your case in English, if you so wish"....."Objection!" the prosecutor announced, jumping to his feet and fixing me with a glare. "Accused has no right--"
""Overruled!" the judge growled. "Sit down, prosecutor. I trust that are following Mr Obama's arguments? A fine thing to see such a command of English, don't you agree?"
"He turned back to me. "Continue Obama."....."Ramjo, Stevo, and Mandeka added a few words in Swahili, backing up what I has said. As they did so, I was aware that just about everyone in the courtroom was staring at me. My three buddies were equally bemused. I hadn't told them that I intended to argue the case in English. In fact, it was something that had to come to me on the spur of the moment.....I'd noted that the prosecutor was struggling to conduct his argument in English. It was an effort not to crack up laughing.....Ramjo, Mandeka, and Stevo were flabbergasted by my performance. None of them had known that I was fluent in English, for all I had ever spoken with them was Swahili or Sheng. They'd managed to get the drift of what I was saying, but more importantly they'd seen the effect that my English had had on the judge and the court. It was clear what everyone had been thinking: How can this guy have emerged from the Industrial Area Prison and be here on robbery charges, and yet he speaks English as well as any judge? How on earth can he do that? Who is that guy?"
Other interesting data that I, Lucas Smith, obtained from George Obama's new book are as follows:
A. At age 5, George Hussein Obama, meet his half brother Barack Obama in Kenya (sometime maybe in 1987 or so about). One that same day Barack Obama, his brother, was accompanied by his half sister Auma Obama and also his half sister Zeituni Obama. "He's come all the way from American to see you." see pages 17 thru 18.
B. George Hussein Obama's mother was Barack Obama seniors fourth (4th) wife. Here birth name is Jael Atieno Onyango. She was 22 years old when she birthed George Obama. Obama senior died about six months afters George Obama's birth. see page 5.
C. As of the year 2003 George Obama's mother (Jael Atieno Onyango) was living in American (USA) with her new African-American husband in Atlanta, Georgia. Husbands name is Hosea Dixon. George Obama's mother had a child with new American husband, a daughter which they named Chrissie. see page 236.
Before arriving in America George's mother had been living in South Korea. see page 172
D. "...[Barack] Obama connection -- that of the affluent, urbane, GLOBAL CITIZENS of this earth." see page 293.
My, Lucas Smith's, closing thoughts regarding George Hussein Obama (youngest brother of President Barack Obama). I am of mixed feelings when it comes to George Obama. I half despise the guy while the other half of me sees great character (during his prison stay and after release) in this man.
George had a very privileged upbringing. His surrogate father was a white man from France (Christian Bertrand) who was his mother's boyfriend for many years, they all lived in a very upscale neighborhood in Nairobi (Umoja).
George attended to the finest schools and had the best luxuries of life granted to him by his rich white surrogate father. Yet, George seemed to screw his whole life up all by himself. George was the kind of kid that hung out in bad neighborhoods and with bad people and did bad things because he thought it was cool. He didn't have to do any of it, he wasn't poor nor did he live in those bad areas while growing up.
He was a damn fool. But...as time goes on, we begin to see some great qualities and character in George Hussein Obama. For one, he rejects the history taught in Kenyan schools which make claim that all of Kenya's current economic and social problems were (and still are) caused by white people. George, throughout his book, continually states that this is not true and the the real problem in Kenya is crocked Kenyans in government. George also likes to help other people, which is commendable. He also turned his life around and got job driving a city bus. He also coaches soccer for kids the Nairobi slums. He also created jobs for kids in slums as garbage collectors, to clean up the place, and also the kids make a few dollars for their work.
George seems to glorify what he calls the "ghettos" in Kenya. I don't think George knows the history behind the word "ghetto". It's also very apparent that by him not really having been born and raised in those slums, he has somewhat of a different outlook on life there. Sort of a rich kid gone bad then gone good and now glories in the bad past though now living the straight and narrow life. I hope that makes sense.
One thing that goes in his favor is his character while in prison (for 9 months). George showed great character and did not contact his family for help. Instead he marshalled a defense to argue his case (for which he was really innocent) and that took courage and character. George said some things that I myself have felt in my life regarding jail and prison and the way that it changes you. Aside from my 5 year prison sentence, I, Lucas Smith, also once sat in jail for seven months for a crime that did not commit.
In any case, after reading his book, and weighing the bad (and egregiously stupid) against the good, I conclude that in my opinion, George is a good guy. I, Lucas Smith, wouldn't mind sitting down and talking with the guy. I don't place him in the same category as his brother Barack Obama at all. Though, in no case do I think that Geroge Obama has all the answeres to address the economic and social problems of Kenya. George, if he had the power, might be the sort of guy that would go for his borther Barack Obama's welfare uptopian society. Though I don't know for sure. So let's just hope that we don't ever have to worry about another Obama running for President of the United States of America.
PING !
I wonder if the first draft of the self-aggrandizing biography Barack submitted to Bill Ayers for editing read something like this?
HA HA !
Placemark for reading tomorrow.

Keeping up with InspectorSmith.
Bump
Well obviously George is more perceptive this his brother - who bought into the blame whitey for everything BS.
thanks for the ping, very insightful and considerate of you to write this for your Freeper colleagues, I can see a book on your horizon. Well done, I congratulate you.
Mr. Smith ? those who are critical of you and say you never been to Kenya should take a trip to a turd world country and see for themselves what a turd world country looks like before that say you never been to Kenya.
Each time, he removes a few more lies and distortions.
Is the book online by chance?
Yes, I just now found that it is online at Google Books.
Although I have to say that I don't know how Google keeps getting away this. Talk about stealing copyrighted material. (not that I haven't done so on demonoid.com and isohunt.com) But I can't believe that Google is actually displaying every single page of this book, nothing is blocked out.
I mean, old historical books that are in public domain is ok but, what the heck, a brand new 2010 book is wide open for free Google Books? Google is pushing it here.
However, in any event, it's there on google books. Anyone here that wishes to read the book or to verify information and data can do so now. I encourage everyone to read the book.
Thanks!
I'm not sure what to think about Google Books. It's a great research tool and, at the same time, it's ....I don't know what word to use....but it's something that is not what I consider to be ethical, sort of, in way.

I googled this for you :
>>>>>>>>>>
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Meaning:
You use this proverb to say that a picture can give you as much information as a written or spoken text with a lot of words can.
If someone says, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” he/she means that you can describe something by drawing just one picture as well as you can by writing or saying a lot of words.
People also say “A picture paints a thousand words.”
