How will Obama help Kenya?
KISUMU, Kenya — Kenyans are praying for Barack Obama to become the first black American president, and people across the continent plan all-night parties to watch the U.S. election results come in.
Obama’s father was born in Kenya, about an hour’s drive from the lakeside town of Kisumu where the candidate’s face is splashed across a huge billboard. The country’s two main newspapers ran Obama stories on the front page.
In Kogelo, where Obama’s step-grandmother still lives, hordes of journalists are gathering and police have blocked access to the family’s homestead.
Many Africans hope an Obama presidency will help the continent. In South Africa, The Citizen newspaper on Tuesday had a one-word banner headline: “Obamania!” The Star said: “Obama dream within reach,” and The Times, simply, “Yes, he can!”
You know his spread the wealth policy. Well he will take our money and spread it all over the Globe. Ready for a socialist Government yet. Obama and kenya is and just wait til all the hard working people of America has to pay for it!
We may not get the President we want but we will get the President GOD thinks we deserve!
GOD Pity this country for we do not know what we do!
