Celebrating Obama’s victory with his grandmother in Kenya

Obama’s grandmother, overwhelmed by journalists seeking to interview her, was optimistic that her grandson would become the first black American president.

“He has come a long way and I know that he will be next president of America,” she said.

Obama’s Kenyan Roots

A barefoot old woman in a ripped dress is sitting on a log in front of her tin-roof bungalow in this remote village in western Kenya, jovially greeting visitors.

Mama Sarah, as she is known around here, lives without electricity or running water. She is illiterate and doesn’t know when she was born.

I heard on the radio today (ABC news) that as a result of the election of Obama, electricity is being brought to Mama Sarah’s home. I guess having a multi-millionaire grandson wasn’t enough to accomplish this: he had to be elected president first.

Hmm
