Um, the article says that some Kenyans support Clinton. Not that some of his relatives do.

quote:
You might think that all Kenyans would be vigorously supporting Mr. Obama. But Kenya has been fractured along ethnic lines in the last two months, so now Mr. Obama draws frenzied support from the Luo ethnic group of his ancestors, while many members of the rival Kikuyu group fervently support Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Oops. Sorry, I'm sick, and not 100% functional. But it's still interesting. [Razz]

I think it's interesting that Kenyans care about the US presidential PRIMARY at all.
