Celebrating Obama’s victory with his grandmother in Kenya <\/a><\/p>\n

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

“He has come a long way and I know that he will be next president of America,” she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obama’s Kenyan Roots <\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Hmm<\/p>\n
