    ... OBAMA.


    Rut-roe...

    This going to get good if this is tried in an honest courtroom. Obama allegedly got illegal campaign contributions by a foreign entity... $30 million to be exact.

    Will Obama be "asked" to show up in court for that?


    Leonardo DiCaprio took the stand Monday in the federal trial of a prominent ’90s rap artist accused of funneling money from a Malaysian financier who reportedly sought to donate tens of millions of dollars to President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.

    The Hollywood star, who has partied with the fugitive money man, Jho Low, said the financier once casually dropped in a conversation that he hoped to make a huge contribution to Obama’s campaign.

    “It was a significant sum — something to the tune of $20-30 million,” DiCaprio testified. “I said, ‘Wow that’s a lot of money!’”

    I wonder if the above story has anything to do with Obama's move to Kenya, for at least one year?

    Here' the story of Obama's move below.

    Never Mind.. Obama want's some of that free money from the Climate Communists.


    Former US President Barack Obama is resettling in Kenya for at least a year as Special Envoy for US Diplomacy (SED), a deployment which he said “makes me truly grateful as I pay tribute to the land of my father- and forefathers”.

    Also read: Kenya’s carbon market is worth US$600M annually
    Obama is expected to jet into the country on June 13 for what his team calls “a reconnaissance trip”, has indicated his desire to set up an office outside the capital Nairobi when he finally lands.

    This, he says, will help him better understand devolution and promote coordination among counties before he can seek an enhanced diplomatic partnership between Kenya and the US.

    With speculators saying property prices could triple within no time, mooted counties of his stay initially included Siaya, which is the home to Alego, in which sits Kogelo village, where his grandmother (and extended family) have lived for years.

    So I am going to google search to verify this. It sounds like nonsense but I will double check before calling the original poster a purveyor of nonsense.

    I mean setting up an office isn't "relocating to Kenya"

    Now we know what Obama meant when he quipped that he wanted "fundamental change" in America...

    It's in the book.

    Perhaps fact checking instead of posting garbage might be a good idea.

    Nothing to see here but click bait, and as usual the poster didn’t allow facts to get in his way. He TRIED to funnel money into both the Obama AND Trump campaigns. He wasn’t successful, and no one is saying President Obama or Trump was aware of or involved in this nonsense.

    So before commenting, is this post meant as a joke or do you seriously think he is relocating to Kenya?

    I looked at his actions... He started our downfall.

    But the book is nothing more that a cheap photo op for his communist followers.

    The dude “hoped” to contribute the large sum. Is hope now a crime?

    I think our 'downfall' will have more to do with some of the paranoid idiocy displayed on this thread if you ask me.

    So, he should have no problem making his case in a court room then... just like Trump.
