Obama Heads to Ireland to Meet More Family

It is interesting to note that I am in the last part of the book Dreams From My Father, where Obama is in Kenya meeting his family just before he goes to Harvard. In many ways Barack Obama is a good example of what Culturally Healthy American behavior looks like.

In many ways this story reminds me of a made for TV Move Roots, but a kind of updated modern Root's Part 2. When I watched the original Roots this is not the part 2 that I would have thought of.

Not only does the Obama election mark the dramatic improvement in America's 21st century National Cultural Health, compared to the 20th century, but Cultural Health seems to have improved globally. What do you think?

If you thought this piece on Obama and Ireland was edifying you will love my piece on Black Leprechauns.
