Kenya seeks big airport for Obama

[Doctor Cynic]

Source: BBC

Kenyan MPs have called for an airport in the west of the country to be upgraded for Air Force One in case Barack Obama wins the US elections.

Mr Obama's father was born in Nyanza Province and the MPs say the local Kisumu airport should be expanded in case he wants to visit.

The Illinois senator is a local hero in his father's homeland, where a local beer has been named after him.

Mr Obama has never lived in Kenya and he has visited just three times.

Yeah, it's better if he passes up on this given that there are more pressing issues.

3. no subject

My mom's best friend is originally from Kenya and she still has close family members living there that update her on Obama news that they get over there frequently. This really doesn't surprise me, she told my mom they are crazy about him over there. Sadly my mom's friend can't vote, and she's more into this election than most Americans I know.

4. Built over the books confiscated from Jerome Corsi ...

Corsi was in Kenya to that launch his anti-Obama book in Nairobi but was deported by immigration officials after it emerged that he had entered the country as a tourist, stating he intended to visit game parks. The Immigration officials impounded copies of the anti-Obama book.
