A Kenyan President

5 Nov 2008

The area of southwestern Kenya where the Obama family lives is home to the Luo tribe. So far in Kenya, there has never been a Luo president. For years, people have said that a Luo had a better chance of becoming president of the United States than the president of Kenya. Apparently, they were right.
In this day and age, the American Dream still means something. I’m astonished, and grateful, and incredibly lucky to have been born in a country where this is possible.
