Obama's Grudge Against the British

By Phil Boehmke

One of Barack Obama's first actions upon taking office was the unceremonious rejection of the Winston Churchill bust which had been loaned to our nation as a symbol of friendship and trust after the 9/11 terrorist attack on America. Subsequent actions by Mr. Obama have revealed a deep seated hostility towards our old and valued ally culminating in his un-presidential response to the BP oil spill.

In an exclusive interview with the UK Daily Mail Sarah Onyango, the woman Barack Obama calls ‘Granny Sarah' gave some insight into her grandson's anti-British bias.

...Sitting under a mango tree in the garden of her modest home in Kogelo village, Kenya, surrounded by the family's chickens, cows and goat, she recalls telling Barack Obama his family history on his first visit to Kenya in 1988.

‘I narrated the whole story to Barack one evening to help him understand our family's past. He wasn't amused at all. He expressed quite a lot of concern about why the British had to punish his grandfather "on his own soil."

‘He said the whole act sounded barbaric. He wondered why the British never respected African culture. The arrest he said was outrageous.' Shockingly she adds: ‘Generally, my grandson never believed the British do anything for a common good, rather than their selfish interests.'

Hussein Obama was a member of the Muslim Luo tribe and was involved in the bloody Mau Mau rebellion. As the cook for a British Officer, Hussein was a vaulable informant in the secret "oathing" movement which required an oath to murder white settlers as a condition of membership. Although records from the era have not survived, Hussein Obama is said to have been convicted for sedition and membership in an illegal terrorist organization and incarcerated in Kamiti prison.

‘Granny Sarah' told her grandson how his grandfather was beaten and tortured by the British to obtain information about the "oathing" movement and how they continued the daily beatings until he promised "never to rejoin any groups opposed to the white man's rule." Sarah also told Barack about how his grandfather's fellow prisoners were beaten to death with clubs.

Clearly Mr. Obama's anti-British feelings can be traced to the family stories related to him by his ‘Granny Sarah.' It would appear as though Obama is using the office of President of the United States as means of exacting revenge against the British people for alleged actions committed 60 years ago by persons long since forgotten.
