) Obama embraces half-sister, Auma Obama and Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta POLITICAL POINT OF VIEW President Continues His Negro World Tour Contributing Correspondent: CDW As Barack Obama, the first black President of the United States, continues on his Negro World Tour, it was only obvious that he would travel to one of his two homelands - the US being the other. Last Tuesday, the native son of Kenya, Africa, hung out with his peeps to share some love and also address a few serious concerns with the progress of the Motherland and its challenges to be great. Barack was embraced and welcomed by all of Kenya. They held their big customary ceremony allocated for dignitaries, but of course, Barack's prestige as a head of state was much more special than any other foreign statesmen's visit to date. He's one of them. He looks like them. He sounds like them. And he understands Africa better then past leaders who've traveled there - not to befriend or share sympathy, but to only abstract resources and make demands of this progressive, struggling country. Past visitors have always infiltrated Africa with the notion of telling this rich and affirmed people what they should be doing or else. Barack came to share compassion. Yes, he spent time examining the conditions and unwanted mistreatments of women and children. But again, his reprimand was from a place of dignity and admiration for a country that is so very cultural with tremendous, untapped resources. Kenyans are in awe of their presidential son as Obama's step-grandmother, Mama Sarah (center) watches on President Obama wanted to give them encouragement. He expressed that as the world opens up to this new-found talent pool, be sure to control the destiny and dignity of this country - far past when he's out of the oval office. Barack knows how the forces of America and other nations have always robbed and looted foreign lands for their own personal and professional greed. During Saturday's dinner, Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta, described Obama as a president of historic consequence; an "engine to propel and transform the African continent." Obama joked that some of his critics probably believe he went back to Kenya "to look for my birth certificate," adding, "That is not the case." The trip to Africa was in part a homecoming for Obama. He dined with members of his extended family. A dinner was hosted by Kenyatta at the State House, which followed a series of meetings to promote increased investment in agriculture, infrastructure and energy production. "I’m proud to return as the first U.S. President to ever visit Kenya while still in office," Obama said at a joint news conference with Kenyatta earlier in the day. It was visibly obvious that Obama enjoyed his visit to Kenya, immensely, before heading for Ababa, Ethiopia. For this, I give my president a standing ovation and two fist pumps for acting like a real Presidential Negro.
