Obama SR is back under the spotlight

Obama SR. is back in the American scene again creating more buzz 28585925 for his son ; it is not about his religion this time, but about his political views , oh yes the conservative republicans are questioning the political views of Barack SR. from 43 years ago who already divorced his American wife then and did not see his son except several times in his life !!

The anti-Barack Obama team is using an article written by Barack SR. in his home country Kenya from 43 years ago , a forgotten article that even Barack JR did not mention in his biography about him and his fathers "Dreams from My father" .

Politico.com published a very interesting report about the article debunking all the myths saying that Obama ,the father was communist defending socialism "and what if he was a socialist !!"

Obama SR. wrote this article in the East Africa journal in 1965 , he was criticising as far as I understood the policies of the Kenyan President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta especially his economic policy "African Socialism" ; we should not forget that during that the fashion of the new independent countries released from the imperialistic colonial power was to be socialist.

Obama SR. Wrote this :

"The question is how are we going to remove the disparities in our country, such as the concentration of economic power in Asian and European hands, while not destroying what has already been achieved and at the same time assimilating these groups to build one country”

The article was in fact discussion about communism and socialism , Obama was not a communist but he was wondering about the change from a capitalistic society to socialist one especially in a country with different ethnics I think

Obama SR turned to be a critic to President Kenyatta because of his policies especially the tribal discriminatory ones.

Look to be honest , this is silly in my point of view , Obama SR was speaking about his country Kenya from 43 years ago and Obama JR should not be accounted for what his father believed in !!!!???
