Obama visits his ancestral home Kenya first time since occupying White House

[enhanced_deficit]

Although he has yet to invite his Pastor of 20 years Rev Jeremiah Wright to the White House, a proud moment for others in his ancestral homeland as DGP makes first trip there since getting selected/elected to the White House in a historic shift after Iraqi Freedom war that ousted Saddam Hussein.

Will Obama visit his 'homeland'? Western Kenyans hold out hope.

Anticipation of President Obama's visit has been high in his ancestral home, where he is seen as a rare example of success from the politically sidelined region. But news that he will not make a stop here has left many disappointed.

By Ariel Zirulnick, Staff writer July 23, 2015

As one of the region’s main sources of news, the station has been deluged with calls and comments since Obama’s visit was announced in March, leaving the show hosts struggling to get in a conversation on anything else. Callers have asked for less music and more Obama talk. Even during shows on totally different topics, one of every three comments sent in by text is about him, station host Fred Gombe says.

Obama’s Luo father was raised in Kogelo, an hour outside of Kisumu, and his grandmother, known nationwide as “Mama Sarah,” still lives there. Obama retraced Barrack Hussein Obama Sr.’s steps in a journey encapsulated in his book “Dreams of my Father” in 1988, and has made his Kenyan roots part of his own American dream story. He again visited in 2006 as a senator.

But locals here have yet to welcome him in his role as the American president after almost seven years and three sub-Saharan Africa trips that left Kenya off the list. So when US Ambassador to Kenya Bob Godec said that there wasn’t enough time for Obama to visit anywhere outside the capital – where he is chairing the Global Entrepreneurship Summit – the region was stunned.

Kenya: Obama Nude Protest Called Off After State House Phone Call, Claims Organiser

By Nancy AgutuA nude protest against homosexuality did not take place on Wednesday following a call from State House, its organiser has said.
The protest has been postponed, Republican Liberty Party leader Vincent Kidala said, adding he was forced to cancel it in a 2am phone call.
"The caller said President Uhuru Kenyatta is not planning to discuss gay rights with US president Barack Obama and that he is against gay rights," he told the star on phone.
Kidala claimed the national security committee also cautioned against the protest in another phone call.
"The unidentified caller said protesting would be like pushing for a terror attack. He said they have terror alerts and would not want to take chances," he said.

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Residents of Kenya's capital Nairobi enjoyed rare traffic-free roads on Friday morning as many businesses shut down or cut their trading hours ahead of a visit by U.S. President Barack Obama to his father's homeland.
Police prepared to close major thoroughfares for several hours before Obama arrived, and financial markets said they would bring the shutters down early in the hurly-burly city of more than 3 million.

Gangs of workers have been planting grass along the main road from the airport and sprucing up major intersections with flowers and American and Kenyan flags.
Some Nairobians welcomed Obama's visit, saying it might serve as a reminder to Kenya's leaders of the need to transcend the tribal affiliations that tend to predominate in its politics.

And all along I thought he was the bastard son of George Bush. He looks just like a Bush and just as dumb.

He met hid grandma Sarah yesterday but there are no reports of any religious conversion discussions. It is very unlikely that Obama will give up his Christian values and beliefs just to please his grandma.

Good question. But after recent elections, that might bring unnecessary distractions thanks to some partisan republican mud slingers.
