Kenya is bursting with excitement over the idea of a Kenyan American 
being president. I suspect that blacks and Muslims everywhere are 
rooting for him; he sure is something new and different (at least on the 
outside) in American politics. I thing much of the world would like to 
see a change in the direction of this country. I can certainly 
understand why the Islamic world would rather have Obama president, than 
McCain (bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran).

I believe Obama when he says he's Christian, although I feel that he 
isn't overly religious. He certainly doesn't use religious appeals in 
his campaign, that I've seen. Both his father and his step-father were 
Muslim, so he has a better understanding of Islam than most people, and 
certainly than McCain. THAT part doesn't scare me about Obama; I think 
being of two worlds (or more, since his mother was white)has made him 
more tolerant (there's that word again)of other cultures.
