[ALMANAR.LB] US President Barack Obama
The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person...
arrived in the Kenyan capital Nairobi late Friday, making his first visit to the country of his father's birth since his election as president.

Obama was greeted by Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta with a handshake and embrace as he stepped off Air Force One, at the start of a weekend visit during which he will address an entrepreneurship summit and hold talks on trade and investment, counter-terrorism, democracy and human rights
...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...
A massive security operation was under way in Nairobi, with parts of the capital locked down and airspace also closed for the president's landing and his scheduled departure late Sunday for neighboring Æthiopia.

Top of the list of security concerns is Somalia's Al-Qaeda-affiliate, the Shabaab, who have staged a string of suicide kabooms, massacres and bombings on Kenyan soil, including the siege of the Westgate shopping mall in the heart of the capital nearly two years ago that left 67 dead.

The visit is the first ever to Kenya by a sitting US president.

#1 Think he's stupid enough to refer to Kenia as "my birthplace" in public?

#3 the Kenyans are truly the most polite people on earth.

They also love Obama so much they have sarongs printed with his face celebrating his election. they will go nuts.

race relations between white and black are better seemingly in Kenya than they are in the US. Blacks love white people there as they are always helping with some aid or training project and bringing in money.

but when it comes to tribal black violence.... Kikuyu vs Luo vs Kalenjin - then it can get ugly. Mostly very polite, but every now and then the machetes come out.

#4 ...there are enough Kenyans around who are observant enough to see what's happen to neighboring countries that drove the 'white devil' out and realize - it ain't good.
