I think you mean Barack Obama. His late father was from Kenya. His grandmother, 90 years old Sarah Obama is still alive and lives in a small village of Nyangoma which Barack visited last year.

Just been listening to Barack Obama speech on BBC News 24. WOW! He is charismatic AND a TRUE democrat. I really hope he gets elected to go forward to the presidential election. A BLACK President, wouldnt that be an exiciting time to live through.
Clinton is the front runner, butit would be great to have a change of style and someone more 'left wing'.

Final Call:

In Saturday’s DN there‘s a picture of grandmother Sarah Obama in Kenya hoping to see her grandson in the White House:

"I think that the Muslims would listen to Barack and not be as hostile towards him" says Nelson Ochieng, a Kenyan neighbour....."

(It somehow got me to thinking of Madonna’s adopted son David Banda -charismatic by then, running for president in Hollywood in 2050)

Well, did you catch Debra Dickerson ( author of "The End Of Blackness") being interviewed about the Black vote being "a certainty" for Obama? She was very convincing about the black voter also voting in his/her own interests and not merely because Obama looks like me - or you.
