Kenya Declares National Holiday After Obama Win

Chicago Tribune: All through the night, villagers in the Obama family's ancestral village near Lake Victoria had kept an outdoor vigil, alternatively praying and watching election returns on an oversized television screen erected outside the village health center. And just after 7 a.m., the news came in: The man they call "a son of Africa" had been elected president.

When it’s proven the “Son of Africa” was actually born in Kenya, he will have to step down. That day is slowly approaching.

Obama should fly her in for the inaugeration. So many hopes riding on one man’s shoulders.

“Kenya Declares National Holiday!”

Oh, really? That’s great… except nobody works there anyway. It’s just another day in da hood.
