OBAMA IN KENYA

(Jul. 26, 2015) — Parable of the Little Liar
The little boy was about eight years old. His father finally decided to sit down and have a talk with him because he sensed on a very serious note that his son was going to do himself a lot of harm if he kept up with his chatter and long stories. Of course, little boys and girls are told what we’d call harmless little ‘white lies’, in horsing around and play. But this little boy worried his father as he saw the boy tripping up in his own shoelaces, causing the father to have to get the boy out of trouble so many times.
“You know those stories you tell everyone of your dad, son? The ones you make up and that are not true. You need to stop that because people are listening. Some day, they will come and take you away from me based on a lie that wasn’t true. How would you like that? They will be very hard on you and there will not be anything I can do about it. Please..please stop,” said his father in the kindest but sternest way that he could muster.
The boy didn’t stop. There was a line that was drawn and if you stepped over that line the Communist Police were bound to step in. The boy knew where the line was and he placed his hand on the wall just over the line in a deviant act. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe his father so much as it was his confidence waxed strong in the telling of these lies he had in himself. They were powerful, and that his father was questioning this power hurt the boy inside. That may have been why he placed his hand over the line…but it was too late for words now and his father knew it. The police were coming to take him away.
“The police are coming, son, and they are going to take you away from me. It is going to be very hard for you to get back and it will take a long time, but remember I love you,” were his father’s parting words as the guards laid their hands on him and he saw his father disappear in the distance.
OBAMA’S CORRUPTION IN KENYA- OBAMA’S CORRUPTION IN THE USA
The art of corruption is no less corrupt then the reality it portrays in itself. The fawn of the art may be in the warning it relays. We wonder at times why we go through so many tests and trials? Why is this happening to us? Our souls did not crave the easy way. It was the refinement that the furnace of affliction provided we subconsciously sought in the order of becoming that diamond some day. God help us; and, He seemed willing to.
Out of all of Obama’s critics, who are the ones that are constantly on his mind? The answer to that question may be the ones that are striking the closest to home. Obama delivered a tough-love message in Nairobi, Kenya, the land of his father, reported the New York Times:
“… to break the cycle of corruption, strengthen its shaky democracy, overcome ethnic divisions and end discrimination against women and girls as he wrapped up a two-day visit to Kenya full of potent symbolism.”
