Why all the hullabaloo about the visit? Obama has visited Kenya in the past. Will the visit add any ugali to your plate? He can visit the many other 50+ African countries he has never been to.

@ Maka......I think you need to read this ARTICLE on the U.S. trade deficit with China. You'll realize that they actually need the Chinese more than Kenya

Has anyone here asked what for and why he will visit South Africa, Senegal and Tanzania?
It is:
1) Business opportunities for American corporations
2) Oil, Gas and Minerals
3) Human rights & democracy
Kenya is still considered a very dangerous and an easy place for terrorists by Americans. A visit by US President would be a nightmare for the secret service here.... given that some of us are his cousins and we would like to be as close to him as possible.
I guess Obama will come to visit in 2017 after retiring.
But I think at that time he will not have enough clout to admonish us to accept the western values like homosexuality and same sex marriages.
