Since Obama has now become president, this could mean a lot of good change for Kenya. Some possible changes are that there will be more trade between the U.S and Kenya now. The Kenyans also hope for better cooperation between the two countries. More Kenyan goods will probably be sold in America and they expect more American tourists in Kenya now. They can hope for better cooperation between Kenya and America. There is another side to this though. Barack Obama is the president of the United States and not the president of Kenya points of Kenyan prime minister. He says that just because Mr. Obama can trace roots to Kenya does not mean he will go out of the way to give charity to Kenya. He says that having an African-American as president is a source of pride for all humanity. He's very happy that the racial barrier has been broken and feels that if something like this can happen, almost anything can happen. The Kenyan prime minister, Mr. Odinga, has actually played a role in getting Barack Obama to the white house. He was a consistent supporter of Obama and had personally helped to block a campaign that was meant to smear Obama.
I think this is a good news story to read because is shows that Kenya might actually benefit from Obama becoming president. It is progress which means it shows news of hope and improvements. Obama will hopefully work together with Kenya to fight terrorism. This article doesn't end here though. There is more about how the anti-Obama campaigners were trying to bring the prime minister of Kenya down and how they were making false stories about the two of them. This is why I think this article is worth reading.
