		<description><![CDATA[During his visit to Ghana, President Barack Obama laid out a U.S. policy that wasn’t any different from that of his predecessors. But because Obama’s father hailed from my home country of Kenya, and because blood –- African blood, especially -– is thicker than water, Africans exempted their son’s plan for the continent from the tough questions it warranted.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday night, while performing at the African Inaugural Ball, I joked that we’ll know if President Obama is Kenyan if, after his second term he doesn’t change the U.S. Constitution to allow him to run for a third term. That fear intensified when I saw Obama in a bling-bling motorcade – bullet proof Cadillacs and all – comparable to those of Kenyan leaders. Thank goodness, we don’t have to live with that fear anymore. On his first full day at work, President Obama froze the salaries of his top aides at the White House who make more than $100,000 a year. “Families are tightening their belts, and so should Washington,” said the president. Let me paraphrase that: Obama is asking his staff to eat peanut butter and jelly for lunch and rice and beans for dinner like millions of poor Americans. Obama also banned gifts from lobbyist to government officials. His rules of conduct are also the strictest in American History. “Public service is a privilege,” not a right, Obama said. That can’t be the way of a Kenyan leader. Now compare that to when a Kenyan leader takes power: In 2003, Kenyan lawmakers increased their salaries, making them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Throughout my life in the United States, news of the death of a family member or a friend back home has lost some of its power over me. In the last 13 years I have lost a father, two grandparents, an aunt, four uncles, and five cousins. Then there are the countless friends I grew up with who are no longer alive. One committed suicide because an accident had left him blind, another killed himself because his parents would not approve of the girl he was courting, and the third one hanged himself for as yet undiscovered reasons. On two separate occasions, two friends were killed by speeding cars. A childhood buddy drank himself to death, while several others have fallen victim to that villain whose name my kinfolk are still too ashamed to utter, AIDS. After the tragic loss of so many young lives, of people who as children had shown so much potential both for themselves and for their community, I became numb to the pain – so numb that I could no longer summon tears upon learning that a friend had died. But the news from home last week sent me bawling once again. In fact, as [...]]]></description>
