Of course Barack Obama has the loyalty and loving support of his wife, Michelle. Of course he carries the internal strength to sustain his campaign. Of course these two elements affect his eloquence and stability in the political arena. However, Obama now has a new asset in the fight for the presidency. His grandma.
As http://www.cbs46.com put it, "American shock jocks, dirty tricks masterminds and political bloggers: Beware the wrath of an 86-year-old Kenyan villager."
Sarah Obama, Barack Obama's grandmother, has recently defended her grandson from the barrage of recent attacks directed his way. On the questioning of his patriotism and the picture released depicting him dressed in the native garb of another country, Sarah Obama had this to say:
'"Untruths are told that don't have anything to do with what Barack is about,” she said in the local Luo language, her gray hair smoothed neatly under a headwrap.' "I am very against it."
Who knew that, as a political blogger, I could actually become a causality of the election of 2008?
However, Sarah Obama deserves praise. In a political world where familial ties are often strained or distant, even from Kenya she maintains a strong bond with her grandson.
Enjoy.
