I can attest to the fact that Kenyans LOVE Obama, especially people of the Luo ethnic group (from which Obama is descended). Most Kenyans don't know much about even their own politics, not to mention American politics, so this judgement is largely superficial, but that does not reduce their fervor. While I was abroad last year, when I informed people that I was American, their normal response was "Yeah, Obama!" and there were fairly common t-shirts that said Obama for president 2012 with a Kenyan flag on them (Kenya should also be having an election in the next couple months).
