long, but might answer your question:

http://kennethelamb.blogspot.com/2008/02/barak-obama-questions-about-ethnic.html


Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., was born in 1936 on the shores of Lake Victoria in Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya. His father, Hussein Onyango Obama (c. 1895-1979, buried at Alego), belonged to the Luo tribe and was born Onyango.
Kenya is in Africa. Indigenous Kenyans are not Arabs.

To clear matters up further you might read Fred's latest posting on the long-running Obama's Birth Legends thread.

Fred Nerk's reply link

The "natural born" requirement was requested by George Washington to avoid international entanglements by birth exactly like that of Obama. In my opinion the requirement would apply no matter where Obama was born, because his father was not a citizen of the US. That is, the requirement is that both parents be citizens, or that the father is unknown, and thus ties no family heritage to the child. Obama's Dad is known, and he is Kenyan.

When Obama supported his cousin Odinga by travelling to Kenya and campaigning for him, Obama allied himself with the Muslim interests of his father's family's Luo Tribe.

With the Muslim's interest in kicking Jews out of Kenya and seizing their assets. With the Muslim interest in Sharia Law.

That was exactly the kind of foreign entanglement George Washington wished to avoid.

Unfortunately, we’re wasting our breath. These guys are determined to believe Obama’s dad was of almost pure Arab ancestry.

After all, he has Arab first and middle names.

That he converted to Islam and chose his names accordingly doesn’t seem to make any difference to them.

Presumably a Luo tribesman cousin who converted to Christianity and adopted John David as his first and middle names is therefore of English descent. Or possibly he’s Jewish, since Hebrew is the original provenance of these names.

My first name is Scottish, middle name is Greek, and last name is German. I wonder what ethnicity I am.

It appears Arabs had been trading and intermingling there for hundreds of years.
