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.

Had to read that headline a few times and change my cultural filter. On first read, I thought they were having livestock officiate a wedding ceremony!

Throw Mooschelle into the packaged deal. He’ll change his mind faster than a goat bleat.

Fifty cows plus isn’t really all that bad of a deal when you think about it.

I’m guessing obama’s answer is a ‘No’ but that he’s got FLOTUS lying around he’d trade for a couple of chickens and a gerbil...

Obama is a hardcore islamist therefore he will consider the offer, it is under sharia the honorable thing to do, of course realizing this is only the initial offer he may hold out for serious negotiations, it is an islamic honor thing.

I had the same problem but I was coming up with the livestock being offered as mate to the daughter. I thought it was a riff on the ISIS offer of two twenties for the Mooch.

The Kenyan lawyer became interested in her when she was 10... Is that their blood thirsty cult teaches them as acceptable? Sorry that was rhetorical question.

“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.”

Heck. Why stop with marriage. That’s enough to make him a real contender for President of the United States.

Given the tribal connections his initial offer is reasonable, though further negotiations may be in order. Once the marriage terms are agreed upon the bare breasted maidens can dance and the young men can waive spears and mealy-mealy can be readied along with impala flesh.

From 2008...

Barack Obama's 'lost' brother found in Kenya


George Hussein Onyango Obama,
Senator Barack Obama's long lost
brother was tracked down living in
a hut on the outskirts of Nairobi

Senator Barack Obama's long lost brother has been tracked down for the first time living in a shanty town in Kenya, reports claimed

Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.

"No-one knows who I am", he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month."

Wouldn’t both of Obama’s daughters old maids in Islamic countries?
