Found in a rundown Boston estate: Barack Obama’s aunt Zeituni Onyango

It's disturbing enough that Barack Obama promises to spread the wealth. It looks like he's chosen to neglect his Aunt Zeituni Onyango who was found in the slums of Boston in a home for the disabled.

So is this headline news? It should be, but it's not. Does anybody care? Depending on how important family is in one's life, probably not. It's not so much that I'm ragging on the candidate. We just don't know much about the man. And the polls show that no one really cares much either. I don't know why not. I take that back.......What if this were John McCain?

How Barack Obama tells of his first meeting with his Aunt Zeituni in Kenya:

‘‘Barack!” I turned to see Auma [his Kenyan cousin] jumping up and down behind another guard who wasn’t letting her pass into the luggage area. I excused myself and rushed over to her, as we laughed and hugged as silly as the first time we’d met. A tall, brown-skinned woman was smiling beside us, and Auma turned and said: “Barack, this is our Auntie Zeituni. Our father’s sister.”

“Welcome home,” Zeituni said kissing me on both cheeks . . .

We went to drop Zeituni off at Kenya Breweries, a large, drab complex where she worked as a computer programmer. Stepping out of the car, she leaned over again to kiss me on the cheek, then wagged her finger at Auma. “You take good care of Barry now,” she said. “Make sure he doesn’t get lost again.”

Once we were back on the highway, I asked Auma what Zeituni had meant about my getting lost. Auma shrugged.

“It’s a common expression,” she said. “Usually it means that the person hasn’t seen you in a while. ‘You’ve been lost,’ they’ll say. Or, ‘Don’t get lost’. Sometimes it has a more serious meaning. Let’s say a husband or son moves to the city, or to the West, like our Uncle Omar in Boston. They promise to return after completing school. They say they’ll send for the family once they get settled. At first they write once a week. Then it’s just once a month. Then they stop writing completely. No one sees them again. They’ve been lost, you see. Even if people know where they are.”

When one chooses to neglect family especially in times of trouble, I have to wonder what or if at all, would he do for me?
Barack Obama's half brother George who lives in squallor in Nairobi, is another example of family he chooses to ignore.

Looks like Barry is lost.....

It's an interesting read....
