That’s me (adjacent picture) trying to figure out how to remove a piece of chicken which was stuck between my teeth before I left the bathroom.
Prior to this I was member to a meeting in which we discussed, among other things, Barack Obama potentially visiting Kenya before he leaves the White House.
It appears that since being in office Obama has visited only five (5) African countries:
1. Ghana – 2009
2. Egypt – 2009
3. Senegal – 2013
4. South Africa – 2013
5. Tanzania – 2013
Tanzania geographically borders Kenya and it’s interesting to note some of the relatively recent history history of the area of land now known as Tanzania.
The country of Tanzania was formed in the year 1964 when the following two countries united:
a. Zanzibar (NOTE: Zanzibar remains semi-autonomous)
b. Tanganyika
Both Zanzibar and Tanganyika were part of British East Africa, as was Kenya.
According to page five (5) the Colonial Office Report on Zanzibar for the Years 1957 and 1958:
With few exceptions all who are born in the Zanzibar Protectorate or in the Protectorate of Kenya are by law subjects of His Highness the Sultan and are entitled, regardless of race, to claim Zanzibar nationality.
Mombasa was situated within the Protectorate of Kenya when Obama was born (August 4, 1961):
Below is a video Obama giving a speech in Tanzania (2013) with Tanzanian President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete:
I note here Obama’s opening remarks in above referenced speech:
“Thank you so much. Thank you. Well, thank you so much, President Kikwete, for your very kind words and for the incredible welcome that I’ve received here in Dar es Salaam. This is my first visit to Tanzania, but I feel a special connection to this country. Obviously, my family on my father’s side is from East Africa. They spent some time actually in Tanzania. And so, the love Michelle and I and the girls have felt on our arrival, I want to assure you that love is reciprocated and given back in return. So, habari zenu.
“Now, President Kikwete was the first African leader I welcomed to the White House after I took office. I was pleased to welcome him to Washington last year for the launch of our New Alliance on Food Security. And as the President indicated, we had excellent discussions today. Our visits and work together reflect the long relationship between our countries and our shared commitment to the development and the dignity of the people of Tanzania.”

After all the shocks Obama has put us through during the last 6 years, NOTHING that fraud might do now would surprise me.
For example, IF the MSM does their job and accurately and widely reports the important criminal charges I expect to be made by Team Arpaio in their forthcoming press conference, I wouldn’t consider it beyond the realm of possibility that Obama might formally schedule a flight on Air Force One to make an official ‘visit’ to Kenya, AND THEN REMAIN THERE, out of reach of USA law enforcement.
I don’t think Obama will visit Kenya before he leaves office unless the above scenario occurs, for the same reasons he has not yet, as POTUS, visited his homeland. The trip would just present too many political complications for him in the USA relating to his birth there.
