PRESIDENT OBAMA ENTHUSIASTIC SENDS A MESSAGE WITH HUMOR ABOUT “BIRTHER“ MOVEMENT----------- Obama took a joke at the so-called "birther" movement on Saturday night while in Kenya, his father's homeland“¦insinuating a sharp message to “Birther“movement. “If you can't beat members of the "birther" movement, join 'em.“ That was the joke, in ironic style about his birth certificate about the suspicious critics four years ago, in the US. In 2011, Obama made his birth certificate public after so-called birthers questioned his eligibility to be president, claiming he was not a U.S. citizen. The certificate lists Honolulu, Hawaii, as his place of birth. Barack Obama, US President, continues, in the same tune of sense of humour :“Some of my critics back home might be suggesting I'm here to look for my birth certificate," Obama said while making a toast at a state dinner hosted by President Uhuru Kenyatta. "That's not the case."

OBAMA URGED KENYA TO RECONSIDER ITS TREATMENT OF LBGT AND BATTLE CORRUPTION AND TRIBALISM------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "When a government gets in the habit of treating people differently, those habits can spread," Obama said. Kenya is one of the African countries that outlaws homosexuality. The Kenyan President Uluru Kenyatta, knows this is a sensitive topic likewise the human rights and called it a “non-issue."-------------------------------------------------------------------- President Barack Obama has also stressed the urgent need for the Kenyan Government to tackle corruption and tribalism. The President Kenyatta preferred avoiding sensitive subjects and leading Barack Obama, to his filial link with Kenya, recalling its precedents travel, as a citizen. One spin that has been noticed by everybody, has helped Barack Hussain Obama to make a mental journey by a homecoming, and his roots tied to his origins. "Mr. Obama, this is not your first trip to Kenya," Kenyatta said. "But yesterday you arrived riding on the wings of history." On the top of that, there was no kind of dodging at this level of sincerity, from the President Obama but rather an affirmation of pride in his presence in Nairobi, even though his schedule does not allow him to go to the village Kogelo, village where his father grew up. Barack Obama still made a promise to visit his ancestral home in K´Ogelo when he retires at the end of his second term in January 2017. He says next time he travels to Kenya and he probably will not be too formally dressed ! That is so true.
