NAIROBI (AFP) — A three-legged stool and a traditional Luo oxtail fly whisk are some of the household items that could bring a new feel to the Oval Office, courtesy of Barack Obama’s Kenyan grandmother.
…
Quoted in the Standard newspaper Monday, she said she had hoped to bring him a traditional spear and shield from her Luo tribe when she flies to Washington on Friday with some other family members.
What a disgrace. If Abraham Lincoln were alive to see this he would’ve become a racist.
Is this woman a nut-case or what? I understand that they have different beliefs in Africa but Jesus Mary and Joseph I think that everyone from the deepest darkest jungle to the planet Mars knows that you do not bring anything that even resembles a weapon on a plane! For god sakes, I got the third degree once because I forgot I had a cheap cigaret lighter in my jacket pocket! Don’t you think the people on the “mighty Obama’s team” would have briefed her on this!? Is this the kind of ignorance we are in for during the next four years? If we are even still here in four years.
And whats with the new items to adore the Oval Office? That is a time honored, historical and symbol of the United States of America!!! Not Africa!!!!!!!! Mr. Obama, if you are truly a U.S. citizen then act like it and respect the integrity of the Oval Office!!! Pleas do not deface it with items of your homeland. There is another room in the White House where you can honor your “traditions” it is called your bedroom or any of the many other rooms that could accommodate these items!!!
“Honored Traditions of the Oval Office,” one such tradition consists of removing the “trash” left behind. And most of it is White (house). And it’s spelled “cigarette” let me guess you went to Columbine and survived. That’s what you get for sending someone else to do the job right.
His “Homeland”, so he can’t display the Lava rock he got from the last volcanic eruption in Hawaii? You may not know this…but Hawaii is part of the United States. Yes, we added it.
I’m at this point realizing you are just as confused as Palin. Africa is a continent and not a country. The United States is a Country and not a continent. They’re completely different, apples and oranges, common sense and conservative, Limbaugh and diet coke, you and high school graduation.
Hope this offends you and perhaps you’ll get motivated to crack open a book.

Is this the grandmother who said that she witnessed the birth of Obama in Kenya? She totally believes that America is annexed to Kenya and was just doing the political right thing by introducing Kenyan artifacts for this official ceremony. Common people Obama is a Kenyan/American president. Think of it you buy one and get another (country- Kenya)
Hmm, this is the Grandmother that isn’t even related in blood to Barry Soetoro. She is the 5th wife of his drunken Communist Kenyan Father and in no way related. Yep, this is the lady who says she witnessed Indonesian citizen Barry Soetoro’s birth in Kenya. All will tell, once Occidental College is forced to turn over Soetoro’s aka Obama’s college records.
Cigaret is an accepted variant spelling of cigarette listed in numerous dictionaries. Jose Juan Felipe Castro needs to take a course in remedial English before embarrassing himself further.

Oh hot damn, this is Obama’s gram!
She will use her spear to hunt you down!
Ha Ha! I’m with Jose Juan Felipe Castro! The rest of you are morons!
Sometimes I’m AMAZED that you NEANDERTHALS can walk upright anA speakor write. Calling this Kenyan woman a SAVAGE? She’s a Kenyan. These things are part of her culture. How do spears and drums get to the U.S. to be put into museums? Do they MAGICALLY appear. No. They get shipped via air, boat, or plane. Did someone think Barack Obama’s GRANDMOTHER was actually going to attack someone WITH A SPEAR? Get over yourself you racist lunatics.
to amy, and those like her.. well now you clearly have not thought much, and have not thought much clearly. the reason that japanese have their swords, and eurpoeans have their model cars and americans their replica spaceships is that these represent advances, yes, technical and scientific advances, akin to the Computer you have used..(no amy, it isn’t really powered by magic) to bring a spear and a fly whisk is to degrade the office and thereby the country… as it would be an insult to give the president of france a chamber pot, or the quenn on englnad an ipod
What a meek response. Your argument is that a spear and fly whisk are degrading because they’re not technological advancements, is that right? Is that the gist of your argument? Oh lord.
heather and amy are racist! as i am and damn proud of it. you race killers need to move to africa so you can wallow in the filth you love so much. africa is 400 years behind the rest of the world. africa still enjoys famine disease and constant tribal warfare. go over there where you belong and take all of the rest of the trash with you.
Jose
I’m glad you learned geography while picking vegetables and sheetrocking. You sound like one of Obama Hussein’s fans who hovers over his lordship. Get a open mind and less names amigo.
I cannot belive the bullshit ive read. Jose is speakin the truth, why do people belive that Africa has 2 be behind?
it was you white people that CAME 2 OUR FUCKING JUNGLE AND RAPED IT!
So whoever was hatin on Jose go open a book urself u ignorant fuck head. Ofcourse Obama’s mom had no idea she culdnt bring a spear, the woman duoesnt even know how 2 drive a car, how the fuck can u supremicists hold such a thing lik that against her?
o Lord i bet she was damn sad she offended ur small minds, but damn how was she to know?
Put ur self in other peoples shoes u ungrateful low life trailer trash red neck hillbillies.
It might surprise i typed this on a COMPUTER.
*doesn’t
to wtf
Is your opinion supposed to be in support of o’s grandmother? It’s hard to tell because of your naive perception of Africa – first of all, what makes you believe that Africa is behind the US – what you see on TV? I think you have watched too many Tarzan movies. Just because they don’t live in the same kind of houses we do, doesn’t make them any less informed or capable than us. (In fact, I’d say they are superior to some neighborhoods I’ve seen, like E. St Louis, Gary, Detroit, or N. Portland, OR) Secondly, white people didn’t come to Africa and rape it – Arabic muslims have had a much bigger impact on abusing Africa. Why do so many black Americans want to become muslim when the Arabs and their religion have been, and still are so oppressive to them, especially women? In addition, sailors didn’t just sail over to Africa, and tramp through through African villages capturing people to sell into slavery. They bought slaves from black African traders of one tribe who had captured people from other tribes. It was Africans selling Africans.
I’d say Africans are doing more damage to the US – they come here and stay years past the time their alloted by the visas, live in HUD housing, get food stamps and other services, go to college for free, benefit from minority laws which should not apply to them, don’t pay taxes, and send their money back to Africa. America is the one getting raped.
Finally, I can see that you did type your comments, but you obviously must have got a D- in your English class. Maybe you should redo that class – after all, its all free!
PS – I think there is more of a problem with black supremacy in the US – but don’t worry, we shall overcome.
What she should do is take the spear and shove it up the supporters of this websites ass holes. See how savage that would feel.
“If Lincoln were alive…” he’d be proud that his country has come so far and elected a black president, but he’d be embarassed as hell by this disgusting website.
Mofopolitics.com might have had a decent following back in the 1860s…. nah, it’s still a pretty crappy website.
