Kenyans feel snubbed by Obama U.S. Senator Barack Obama addresses the crowd as he visits Nairobi's sprawling Kibera slum August 27, 2006. When Anna Mulli heard that President Obama was planning to visit Africa, she expected him to visit her homeland. Like many of her countrymen, she considers the president a son of Kenya. Obama’s father was Kenyan; many of his relatives, including his grandmother, still live here. During the 2008 and 2012 U.S. presidential elections, Mulli said, she went to church to pray that Obama would win. |
