Mr. Ochieng is retired, but I assumed he still retained his faculty of memory. I did telephone him in Africa and interview him. I recorded the interview for my notes. His phone number in Kenya ends with the digits 3534.

Mr. Ochieng may object to what I wrote in The Obama Nation, but he is flat wrong to say I did not contact him to interview him.

Jerome R. Corsi author THE OBAMA NATION: LEFTIST POLITICS AND THE CULT OF PERSONALITY

Mr Ochieng might read Barack Obama's own book in which he reports how he discovered that his father was an alcoholic and how his mother had built up Obama's father as some heroic figure was totally false.

it seems prof Ochieng is becoming a sycophant the way his and my luo brothers do at the time of elections in Kenya.no listening to reason as long as it is our own standing for the presidency .he can never be wrong, no dark spots no weakness should be mentioned of him or you do and be come outcast,and go to political oblivion. Obama has so far done an excellent job without the support of Ochieng or luos apart for the moral one we can give him as tribes men and Kenyans. Much as he acknowledges his roots Obama is more American than some whites who will cling to their Latino, Asian,German,Russian,Jewish,Chinese roots for sheer survival.He is not as Luo as Kenyan or even as African as we hoped.Look at this; the only "foreign policy" they (Americans)major on is Mid east and 9/11 related issues.And just as like other American thats what Obama will do with Biden his main adviser on foreign policy.Any talk of and help for Africa would be about AIDS and famine.Nothing knew like development-cooperation strategies the way Chinese are doing.so wake up Ochieng and don't betray your intellectualism to sycophancy.
