Tuesday, April 13, 2010 Hmmm. Kenyan Embassy is enroute to "soccer game" that never was | by EricaThunderpaws Tuesday, April 13, 2010 jeffersonsrebels.blogspot.com
The first Google map shows the path between the White House and the location of the soccer game President Obama said he was going to watch. Distance between the White House and 40th & Chesapeake is 5 miles, or 13 minutes apart.
The second Google map shows the path between the White House and the Kenyan Embassy (2249 R Street NW), a distance of 1.5 miles, or 7 minutes apart.
Why does this matter?
On 4/12/10, Jefferson's Rebels picked up on the story that had recently been circulating the net. We reported on a bizarre comment made by Kenya's Minister of Lands. James Orengo plainly said on the floor of Kenya's National Assembly, : "If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation, how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the President of America?"
Not surprisingly, that set a lot of heads spinning!
On Saturday, 4/10/10, President Obama broke with protocol and left the White House alone without the press in tow. This behavior by a President is apparently unprecedented. He disappeared about the same time the internet was buzzing with the story about Orengo. Cat Corben's article on RedState.com, President Obama Goes To Soccer Game That Didn't Exist? is provocative, and raises some intriguing questions. Please be sure to read it so you understand why this may be important. Also hat-tip to fluff1818 who was the first to notice the proximity of routes. As a result of this unusual behavior by President Obama, speculation is running rampant across the blogosphere, and I guess I'm adding to it here.
As the maps above reveal, the Kenyan Embassy is enroute to the nonexistent soccer game. Coincidence? You tell me. |
