...Much later, as Prime Minister for the second time, he ordered the repression of the 1952 Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya. The ensuing torture caught up many uninvolved Kenyans, and just like many modern "anti-terror" campaigns, radicalised them and their friends and family too. One earlier victim of this approach was Hussein Onyango Obama, the President's grandfather. No wonder the bust's going back, even if Obama and Churchill are family.

Here's an unrelated but telling story about Onyango from Dreams From My Father, and another reminder to listen to the whole book if you haven't done so yet.

The media is pretty rough in Britain - especially the tabloids.

They will be after him now that they feel slighted. They were slighted.

And they were the only ones that seemed to notice that he is (possibly?) not a Natural Born Citizen!

I hope he fails.

The word predates the Incarnation. Lighten up, Francis. While there may be only one true Messiah, there have been and will be many messiahs.
God will not be mocked, but that doesn’t mean He doesn’t have a sense of humor.

"Churchill is not the beloved statesman and WW2 hero in Kenya because of his role in putting down the Maumau rebellion there."

Obama shows his true allegiance.

Why does the U.S. media keep our President’s missteps hidden in the wood... wrong medafore. When will the American people get to hear the jig is.... oops. I mean where is the boon Obama predicted....darn. I find it kind of spooky that ....

Oh never mind.

It’s not being reported because even the most brain dead 0bama supporters would think a 25 DVD giftbox is a cheesy, classless gift.

Any idiot can see 0bama should have given them a set of 20” rims. Now that would be something.

Bush’s Fault

[TexasCajun]

And to top to the cake, the DVDs given the PM will not even play on the UK DVD players. Nope, different formats.

I listened today to “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me.” on NPR and that was one of the questions.

[citizencon]

They got the president they wanted.

Precisely.

The Brits were star-struck over him. He was Beckham, Pitt and Smith all rolled into one mega star.

[ChicagahAl]

"Michele’s still pissed at the Brits over the slavery issue"

But never pissed at the African Tribal Chieftans who sold their own tribemen into slavery.

Nor ever pissed at the Arab Muslim Slave Traders who began the African Slave Trade, and who continued it after the Europeans ended their own participation.

Not to mention the Arab Muslim Slave Traders who continue the Black African Slave Trade to this day in parts of Africa.

Many in Britain are seeing this as entirely gauche and indicative of the low esteem in which the Obama’s hold England.**

I wonder if it has anything to do with how England dealt with the radicals in Kenya?

[Electric Graffiti]

Yes...what the hell were they thinking presenting the Russians with a damn button. For 40 years the people in this country were scared shiiteless they were going to PUSH the damn button. Great symbolism — NOT

[Las Vegas Ron]

The Obamas, Barack and Michelle both

No class and a big ass (applies to both)

[ChicagahAl]

"He isn't stupid, he is a prick. He did it on purpose."

Yes. But it is worse than that.

He is typical of the political Left. They have disdain for everyone and everything.

Taxes? Beneath them. Protocol? Beneath them. Manners? Beneath them. Truth? Beneath them.

New to the oval office.

[Gordon Greene]

Crap! You beat me to it... you’re exactly right (and not just because I agree with you).

I’ve never run for office in my life, but my ignorance and lack of decorum would not be as bad as President Loser’s. Thanks for the dose of sanity.

[caseinpoint]

What’s interesting is that I believe the Mau Mau was spearheaded by the Kikuyu Tribe, which is a rival tribe to Obama’s Luo. Still, perhaps nationalistic loyalties trump tribal ones.

[Gordon Greene]

It’s almost like we elected the Little Rascal’s to office. They are so inept it defies reason.

There was a great picture going around of Obama, McCain and Clinton as the Three Stooges. I don’t think anyone knew how true it was.
