Obama's half brother is backing Donald Trump
Obama's half brother is backing Donald Trump 
KOGELO, Kenya — In Barack Obama's ancestral home here, excited residents are preparing to go to the polls next month for what has become a tradition every four years since their favorite son became president: a mock election.
But not everybody is supporting his choice for a successor.“I will support Donald Trump because he is a humble and honest guy,” the president's half brother, Malik Obama, told USA TODAY. “He is a guy who can help people. It’s an opportunity for Americans to give Trump a chance to become president.""I don’t like (Hillary) Clinton," Malik Obama added, ignoring his relative's strong support for the Democratic candidate. "She is dishonest and a liar. She keeps on lying about emails every time.”
The run-up to Kogelo’s mock election is a big tourist draw for a village that has prospered over the past eight years from Obama’s familial connections. The date of the big vote has yet to be scheduled. In the meantime, smaller gatherings hold practice elections nearly every day in the belief they will generate good luck for Obama’s Democrats as Americans go to the polls.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

I guess that "humble", and "honest" mean something in Kenya that those words don't mean over here.
Anyway, it's comforting to know that not every idiot in the world lives in the US.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

I don't think Malik was born in the USA.
Where is his birth certificate? Do they have them in Kenya? Malik is probably Muslim or some mumbo jumbo African religion.
All that probably disqualifies him from voting in our election anyhow.

I dunno. Kogelo has a yuge number of electoral votes.
I heard that.
Folks are talking about that.
People have told me that.
