That means jack, all countries claim their famous people. Kenya can legitimately claim him as their own, just as Ireland can claim JFK http://www.jfklibrary.org/JFK/JFK-in-History/John-F-Kennedy-and-Ireland.aspx .

Especially poor, 4th world countries, are notorious about this.

The point of the JFK link you cited seems to be that both of his parents' families were from Ireland. That's not the case with Obama; his parents and their families are from different countries. And it's one thing to claim someone as a descendent of your country, but there are people in Kenya who said Obama was born there. Who has ever said this about JFK with Ireland???

Nope. It doesn’t. It’s just one more anomoly as to why he needs to release his information.

Go back to your hole.
