"On the floor of the Kenyan National Assembly the day after Barack Obama was elected U.S. president, members of the African country's parliament celebrated "a Kenyan ruling the USA," calling Obama "a son of the soil of this country." "Could we allow … a Motion for Adjournment so that we could also continue the celebrations of having a Kenyan ruling the USA?" asked the MP for the Ikolomani Constituency, Dr. Boni Khalwale.<br /><br />The mood on the floor of the Parliament was so raucous that day that an extended debate occurred on whether or not to call the session off to celebrate Obama's election victory. Several MPs were even reported missing, allegedly because they were still out partying.<br /><br />Nominated MP Millie Odhiambo requested of the chair, "The president-elect, Mr. Obama, is a son of the soil of this country. Every other country in this continent is celebrating the Obama win. It is only proper and fitting that the country which he originates from should show the same excitement, pomp and color. I, therefore, seek leave of the House that we adjourn to discuss the issue."Oldironsideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629998599890229482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8404433125239624931.post-61857244812626243242010-04-12T17:37:31.353-04:002010-04-12T17:37:31.353-04:00Obama's mother did NOT have a passport in 1961...Obama's mother did NOT have a passport in 1961, so how could she go to Kenya???TellerIPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094923626044083569noreply@blogger.com
