A Kenyan lawyer has offered US president Barack Obama 50 cows and other assorted livestock in exchange for his 16-year old daughter Malia's hand in marriage, a report said Tuesday.

Felix Kiprono said he was willing to pay 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats in order to fulfil his dream of marrying the first daughter.

"I got interested in her in 2008," Kiprono said, in an interview with The Nairobian newspaper.

At that time President Obama was running for office for the first time and Malia was a 10-year-old.

"As a matter of fact, I haven't dated anyone since and promise to be faithful to her. I have shared this with my family and they are willing to help me raise the bride price," he said.

Would it not be prudent to verify the daughter is actually his and not an adopted prop as has been rumored?

Several Presidents up to the time of Teddy Roosevelt grazed cattle and goats on the White House grounds.

Apparently, the current pResident does as well:

That scene has always stuck with me,

SCENE 169
Location: ANGLE - JAKE AND FAMILY
Jake slides over and growls at Dad through a mouthful of shrimp.
JAKE: With a fake accent. How much for the little girl?... the women ... how much for the women?
DAD: What ... ?
JAKE: Your women... I want to buy your women… the little girl, your daughters... sell them to me... sell me your children....
DAD: Maited’! Maitred’!

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume this guy is a muslim.

I wonder what is the value of the offer in the US dollars. if a milkable cow, in Illinois, say, is $2700,
a sheep $200
a goat $125

It makes $151 500.

Wealth measured in livestock—since Biblical times and before, back to the dawn of domestication of herbivores. ‘Pecunia’ or money (as in pecuniary) comes from pecus, meaning cattle.

How much head would the Kenyan lawyer offer for BHO?
