I think Obama must know a little bit about her and where she might be living, since he wrote about her.
the article i read earlier today said Obama wrote about visiting her in Kenya. I think they visited briefly on one of her visits to the US but they weren't the close kind of family to keep in touch. i have relatives in Jamaica. i may have a chat or coffee with them when they visit the states. after the visit, i have no idea if or when they ever return to Jamaica and i'm certainly not responsible for their behavior. and if i won the lottery, they would not be on my list of folks i'd need to help out with my sudden abundance. family is about connection beyond blood. just because you're related to someone doesn't make them family.
