NYANGOMA KOGELO, Kenya (CNN) -- The Obamas of Kenya still live as they have for decades, even though their most famous relative is in a hotly contested race to become the next president of the United States.
Barack Obama is pictured here with his grandmother, Sarah Onyango Obama, in Kenya in 1987.
1 of 3 When we arrived, Sarah Onyango Obama was waiting with a smile as she cut up corn maize preparing animal feed.
As the chickens clucked and a rooster crowed, "Mama Sarah" is as busy bringing in the crops as her grandson is trying to bring in the votes.
"He's a good listener and if he's given a chance he will work hard for America," she says in her native language.
Sen. Barack Obama's grandmother and Said Obama, his uncle, do not have a television and live in a simple, single-story canary-yellow home several miles from the closest village.
Still, they are closely following their relative's campaign for the White House.

Last picture in 1987 ??? Real close knit, huh.
Cheese, cheese, and more cheese. Problem is most lieberals will fall for this BS.
I wonder if they know where he stands on most positions?
To whom are they praying?
Whatever happened to his Muslim father who abandoned him when he was two?
He was replaced by a muslim step father from Indonesia, where “Barry” spent his childhood.
Both of his parents are deceased.
do any of those voting for him HERE know where he stands on most positions?
Do they care?
Hell, I'm a political junkie and I still don't know where he stands except for "change"..
Bin Laden wants "change" for us too
CNN is still in it for Hillary. Any close look at Obama's relations with Kenya will uncover the following:
The two tribes that are fighting have different religions.
The Muslims are killing the Christians.
The Muslims are trying to overturn the recent election, which kept them out of power.
Obama is a member of the Muslim tribe and has reached out to the Muslim leader who is instigating the current killings of Christians.
CNN isn't coming right out with all these details, but they are putting this on the table, and inviting other media outlets to help Hillary out by attacking Obama.
STFW?
Oh Jeez, another bleeding heart story.
On Obama’s website, there are a number of issues with quotes by him. Noticably absent however, is “Terrorism”. There is “Homeland Security” and “Iraq” but not terrorism.
Speaks volumes IMO.

Good to know he shares the wealth with them...
