Now that's a punch in the gut on a liberal if I've ever seen one.
In the two years since, Obama has experienced a meteoric political rise, becoming the Democratic flag-bearer, authoring a best-seller and last year, with his wife, Michelle, earning $4.2 million. He bought a luxury home. Last year, he gave $240,000 to charities.
But apparently not to the Senator Obama Kogelo School. "Senator Obama has not honored the promises he gave me when we met in 2006 and in his earlier letter to the school," Principal Obiero has told the London-based, conservative tabloid EveningStandard. "He has not given us even one shilling. But we still have hope."
Yeah, hope. That sounds familiar for some reason where Barry O is concerned. Too bad his promises are as empty as his suit.
I hope this story gets out. Not for the reasons of hurting Obama,his inaction speaks for itself.
I hope it gets out to help Ms.Ochieng reach the goal she has set to help the school.

That's almost as bad as setting up a fake charity so that you can steal prescription drugs from it. Oh, the PAIN!!!

Narcissists are all about the attention, not the follow through.

"Principal Obiero has told the London-based, conservative tabloid EveningStandard"

LOL, are you saying the story is untrue? No, just trying to change the subject from charity welshing by Obie.
