Barack Obama's Kenyan Grandmother Almost Robbed, and That's News Somehow

POSTED BY: Ethan Ris

Just in case you were wondering how unusual this election is, get this: Robbers tried to steal from an 86-year-old Kenyan woman in a rural village last night, and it became international news within hours.

Why? Because her step-grandson is Barack Obama. That's the weird thing: Said grandson is a U.S. Senator, author of two best-selling books, and a finalist for a high-profile job that pays $400,000 a year. And yet, his grandmother is living in a hut with no electricity or running water, and is vulnerable to roving thieves.

By the way, in case you were wondering: The thieves were trying to steal Mrs. Obama's solar panel.

She may only be able to communicate with her step-grandson through an interpreter, but she's certainly on board with his alternative energy platform!

  1. A tin shack renting for $12 bucks? O'Bamy's bro has certainly managed to move up in the world! Maybe Tony Resko has also reached out to him. I'd be curious as to what the rate of pay-off for Resko will be this time. A couple of carved overly-endowed wooden idols and a pound of coffee, perhaps?

    I heard that the while the apologues for the democrazy party assured those with a critical eye that B Hussein should in no way feel responsible for any one of his downtrodden African kin (there's a shining example of 'compassion' we can expect to see from the Democrazys) the poor bro was living on one dollar a day!

    Hey, there's someone who could u$e $ome CHANGE!

  2. Maybe Granny can move in with Barack Obama's half-brother who lives in a tin shanty on the outskirts of the city and pays $12 dollars a day? They can split the rent to $6 dollars each.

  6. I thought racism was kinda taboo in the US… guess i was wrong, or maybe you write stuff like that because it IS taboo and you dont have the guts to say it in public.
