  Even as I admire American politics, the courage and brevity of the American people, I cannot help reflecting on Kenya my home. Oh, Kenyans, brothers & sisters, shall we ever fight for our country with such vigor, without a drop of blood falling to the ground! When will a leader say, "We shall never ever fight against each other on the basis of our tribe, no, never, no more bloodshed"?

  An Obama win is a win for all of us! It is a win for both whites and blacks, America and the world. We need a change in policies that will benefit the entire world. I know I can, and I do not need a gun, just a vote and so does Kenya! Should he not win the election, he will still have changed the world, we are better off now than yesterday, all because of Obama! God is Great indeed!

  No wonder they are getting ready to celebrate......their native son is about to become POTUS. Beyond their wildest dreams a Kenyan Nationalist is going to be president. Now they will have the privilege to say.....any Kenyan boy can grow up to be the president - of the United States.

  All Barack's kin will be invited to his inaugaration and balls I'm sure. Him and Michelle would be proud to have his granny and bros and sisters standing behind him.

  Obama will win the US Presidential elections on Nov. 4th, no doubt. He has gone deep, polls say so and McCain cannot stop him. When that happens, we will change the name from White-House to Black-House. We will as Kenyans celebrate a public holiday every year, in his honour, the day he is sworn-in as Obama Day. Congra, Obama, Kenyans and your Lake Victoria Region Kinsmen are very proud of you
