Are the American people ready for a black Muslim president?

The man has Luo Kenya blood. The Kenya Luos from where he is born are thrilled that their man might finally rule the Americans. They are also thinking he might help them in their village outside Kisumu in the Nyanza. And that is why they have now named shools in their area – obama school and so on… Everybody being born there is also being Obamarised.

The Luo people from his father’s original home are happy and they have told CNN that they believe Obama will help them to get to move to the US and work there if he becomes the US president.

America should expect mass immigration to the US from Kenyan villages if Obama gets the presidency. This may be good for the US economy.

Most of the people in Kenya supporting Obama believe that they may get jobs in the white house as cooks for the White house staff, jobs as security men and women for Obamas wife and Obama himself. This election will be interesting to watch. It is not only the Americans who are concerned but also the Luos in a small remote village in the Nyanza province of Kenya.

Now Obama whose name is now being highlighted as Barack “Hussein” Obama, dressing using a taban, an indication that he has some Muslim blood is having it rough because of his name. The media is working on him and would like to know his stand on Islam. Are the Americans ready for a Muslim president?

Why did he dress this way when in Africa and not in the US? What was he trying to show? Is he a christian or a Muslim? And does religion matter in leadership for the Americans?

The voters will decide.
