Aren’t Politicians Great?

Baldilocks has a project.

If you don’t know Baldi, let me introduce you. She’s an American. Her dad is a Kenyan immigrant. She belongs to the same tribe as Barack Obama.

In 2006, Obama visited Kenya, and he spoke at a school there, in the village where his father was born. He promised to provide assistance for the school. But he didn’t come through. He hasn’t done anything. Funny thing is, a good number of the kids that would have been helped are Obama’s relatives.

Baldi would like to publicize the situation and get some money headed in the direction of the school. She says there is also an orphanage involved. I had some ideas, which she and I will be talking about today, but for now, why not run over to her blog and read about the story? Here is the link.

I don’t know if it will be possible to help these kids effectively without the effort looking like a cheap political attack, but Senator Obama could always put an end to the matter by making a call or two, so it seems to me that if the affair reflects badly on him, it’s his own fault.
