Jan 2008There are no proper roads leading to the village of Nyangoma-Kogelo. Facilities are basic. But it's here that one of Barack Obama's most committed supporters lives - his 86 year old grandmother, 'Mama Obama'. Even at 86, Obama's grandmother still does "agricultural work". Photos of her grandson hang from every wall. Obama was just two when his parents separated. She recalls his last visit with pride. "He was very happy to come back to his roots". During the Iowa Caucus, Mama Obama sat up all night and listened as her grandson's victory was declared. "It's like a football match and he scored the first goal. Now we are waiting for the others."

Nov 18, 2008 - Barrack looks alot like his grandmother. Why doesn't he buy her a new house? He is a millionaire and the president of the United States why does he let her live in such poverty?

Nov 18, 2008 - I was shocked when he made his winning speech, he thanked many people but did not mention his sweet grandmother in Kenya, it would have meant so much to her....

Nov 18, 2008 - How could Barack Obama Sr. be the father when Stanley Ann Durham was on a mission with the Venceremos Brigade in Cuba during the months of October/November of 1960 and didn't meet Mr. Obama Sr. until January 1961 when she returned to the University of Hawaii. There's a person in Cuba named Francisco Cundo of Saqua la Grande in Cuba that says he is the father of our President-elect.

Nov 18, 2008 - that link isn't working for the time being. if any of this 'illegal birth certificate' nonsense was true, it'd be ALL OVER the news. your argument is weak. accept that he's the president and quit whining.

Nov 18, 2008 - Do some research - not difficult for someone to get a birth cert from Hawaii from what I have been reading... also, O's birth cert is not a certified copy of the vault birth certificate, you know, the one where there are signatures from parents, doctors, and a whole lot more information than he has available on the one he supplied. Do a search online and you can find an image of his cert compared to an actual cert 2 years later, both Hawaii (newmediajournal(dot)us/daily_columns/11012008.htm)

Nov 18, 2008 - Please! Tell me you were not so blinded as to think the news coverage was fair during the election! The news media wanted Obama to win the election and still do want him in office! The news is NOT covering the ongoing court case which questions the legality of Obama's citizenship as a natural born citizen. In fact there are more than one, but one may actually make it to the Supreme Court. You need to do some online searches, if you really care about the Constitutional laws of our country.
defacedlawngnome Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I do care about the Constitutional laws of our country, & know for a fact that McCain would not preserve those laws just as Bush hasn't. Do you know what the Patriot Act is? There are more pressing issues like prosecuting the Bush administration for war crimes & every other law they've broken, rather than focusing on whether or not Obama is qualified. It's hysterical when neocons argue Obamas qualifications w/o recognizing the idiot we've had for eight years.

Nov 18, 2008 - Dear friend. Thank you for supporting Obama. That man is inspirational. What does birth ccertificate have to do with this. Even if he was found wityhout a parent in a ditch, he has studied and become the man YOU see. In fact. I am a Cameroonian, living in UK, but I would rather put my chest between any assassin's bullet and Obama, just to save him so that he can turn history around. He and his wife are very intellectual
mrcuteblackie Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - You about that man in Cuba. Don't be stupid. The man in Cuba will be pout to jail if he is lying. Anyhow, he is still competent to save the American economy.
mrcuteblackie Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Man, you are correct. If an American woman puts to bed iun Japan, the child is still American. He therefore has all the rights an American has. Whatever natural American means!
mrcuteblackie Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Thank you very much. You hit the point. Obama is very intelligent and humble. NOTHING can stop him from staying two terms in the white house. If anything happens to him, we all will go on hunger strike!!! All over the world. I myself am from Cameroon, we are one, we got enough of this racist shit!! Let those people go to Harvard for a PhD!!!!

Nov 18, 2008 - documments..documents don't make people who they are.
illustruscorp Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - The issue of his birth is: is he a "natural born American" or Born as a full citizen on American soil. That is in the Constitution as a requirement to be president. No name calling, ranting raving or demands in the world is going to change that. So if he is great, if he is not the American people have a right to know and he does not have the right to be president. The founders of the United states knew what they were doing when they put that in there.

Nov 18, 2008 - hunger strike my ass!!!

Nov 18, 2008 - deal with it america. Barack Hussein Obama is your president. Do not judge. The people of America have spoken and have elected him. Peace.
elizmsmith Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - The people did not elect BO - the media and Hollywood did. If people had to answer 5 questions about the candidates correctly before they voted this year, no one would have been elected.There are requirements for being President of the U.S. If it is determined he does not meet those requirements, he should be ousted.
calebshelton2 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - At least His interracial Grandmother is not around to corrupt Him even further with her sinful interracial horseshit advice. RIP.
calebshelton2 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Barack Obama's Grandmother probably died of an Interracially Sexually transmitted disease passed to her through incest with her grandson. Barack may have won the election, but when he was with his dead grandmother, he also won an erection.PLEASE REPLY ONLY IF YOU AGREE!

Nov 18, 2008 - It's either that or they just pick names while not really caring what language, religion, country or ethnicity it came from. Some people do that.
impodds Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - You are right i must admit. We live in a celebrity culture where people tend to draw towards you when thing are going right for you. But you forgot whats important, they support and love him now.
