"Kenyan Minister Khalwale Asks When Obama Will Repatriate Himself"
The following transcript is of an April 14, 2010 debate on the floor of the Kenyan National Assembly. The question under discussion concerns the repatriation of Kenyan artifacts which were removed from the country by colonialists. The Ministers want to know what is being done to return the artifacts, or failing their return, how and when Kenya will be compensated for their loss. They argue that museums in the US and elsewhere have earned money on these artifacts, thus those countries are indebted to Kenya. Importantly, in 2006, when Barack Obama visited Kenya, strategized with, and campaigned on behalf of Raila Odinga, the Senator also promised to help with the return of artifacts to Kenya or to seek financial compensation.
The most amazing question asked on the floor is by Dr. Bonny Khalwale, of the Ikolomani Constituency, and concerns the "repatriation" of Barack Obama! Dr. Khalwale's remarks are highlighted in red in one of the paragraphs below the fold.
Dr. Khalwale: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has told us that the office of the then Senator Obama gave him a lot of assistance. That is very good to hear. Could he tell us what commitment the same office made by way of compensation to this country because those artefacts in those museums have been attracting visitors who were paying to view them? What commitment did they make about compensation and more importantly, the biggest artefact in the USA today that belongs to this country is one Barrack Obama. How does he intend to repatriate himself or part of the money that is realized from all the royalties that he is attracting across the whole world?
HA! This is a great song...don't miss the last line of You Picked a Fine Time to Lead Us, Barack!

No time’s a good time, but this ‘aint the best time ...

If you search the FR records, FReepers took them to the cleaners.
Great list!
Glad to help, FRiend. People kept making fun of us, but the left would have been anti-McCain birthers in a heartbeat if he had acted a fraction as secretive. FRegards ....
I’ll pay for shipping! Gladly! I’m sure the Russians would be happy to give a fellow comrade a flight back to the homeland.
As for money...Kenya should pay us!
Sounds like a fake Korir story???
That’s a big admission by Thomas...
I hope this gets legs!
