So you don't have to spend any time in Kenya to know that the Kenyans are fanatical about Obama! I mean, seriously. After Obama had clenched the elections, the Kenyan government declared a public holiday to celebrate his victory which means our Nairobi office closed for the day. So, yeah - I was in the bush in Sudan working while my Nairobi staff took the day off to celebrate my president-elect.
When I arrived at the Lokichoggio airport and awaited my passport processing, an Obama calendar was hanging in sight. And today, when I was getting my morning coffee (oh, the joys of Nairobi!), I passed an art store with a poster-size portrait painting of Obama - it was impressive! I'm telling you - no time has been wasted.
I hope the expectations we all have for him are not too high. Honestly, I think they would be too high for anyone.
