I could care less about Obama''s so-called father since he obviously couldn''t have cared less about his son. But it''s interesting that Obama chooses his absent father(s) to write about instead of the mother and grandparents that gave him a better upbringing in America than he would have had in either Kenya or Indonesia. That''s why I can''t understand his wife and pastor''s unpatriotic leanings and that they must have an obvious influence on Obama. There are too many dichotomies about Obama that make me uncomfortable about his true loyalties, especially about being president.

Kenya for those unable to emerge from their myopia of gross and blatant ignorance is a CAPITALIST state, has always been a CAPITALIST state and continues to be a CAPITALIST nation.

''Sessional Paper No. 10 of 1965 on African Socialism and its application to planning in Kenya'' was a Kenya government policy paper that laid out the long term strategy of how the government planned to correct regional imbalances, eradicate poverty, ignorance and disease.

These policies were indeed adopted and Kenya before and after embraced capitalism in its broadest sense which is evident in Kenya''s vibrant, young and growing capitalist economy.

Those who demonstrate their ignorance and waste time debating another country''s capitalist economic policies dating back to the 1960s would do their country good by learning more about their own economy and what ails it then obsessing over an official Government sessional paper for a country they likely could not pinpoint on a map without extraordinary effort.
