As Obama winds up his historic journey in Africa, Americans are turning against Kenyans to give them a share of their criticism.
The US President has roots in the country and this is the reason every Kenyan feels a sense of belonging whenever his name pops up. And so Kenyans literally seem to be worshipping Obama in the eyes of the world and specifically Americans.
This was manifested when a child born during Obama’s visit to Kenya over the weekend was named after the plane carrying the leader of the free world, Air Force One.
The news of the little baby boy has been received with mixed reactions, with Americans taking the advantage to roast Kenyans on social media.
In an article about the child done by ABC news, Americans commented, mocking Kenyans for being too petty on very small issues, with some saying that Obama does not deserve such affection from Kenyans because he is a shitty leader.
Here are some of the heartbreaking comments made by Americans after the story hit headlines in the US:
TheIneffableOne It might sound better with a Swahili accent. “Afoswon Obama”. If you really have to name the kid something strange, do it to the middle name.
dave Wonder how many people named their newborns Liar, crooked political leadership, breaking the constitution, and everything else Obama is known for?
Snowbird Air Force One is the plane all Presidents use and I don’t see how it individually represents Obama. He uses it, but it doesn’t belong to him and he won’t be using it for much longer.
Bill Smithy I don’t think Kenyan villagers are aware of that.
norcalguy777 The people of Kenya obviously only read ABC News online to fill themselves in on news from the United States.
PBBBT Yeeeeeep. Guesssed the country correctly from the headline. Ah well, maybe this is akin to Westerners getting Asian language characters tattooed on them that they think mean something cool and not “soup” or “no parking”.
olivia242 Not even an acceptable name for an outhouse.
Joe D Heh 2015 is the same as 1615 to these African tribals. They have been worshipping idols since prehistory and probably will for all time
crumpdee Who cares. Feel sorry for the kid when he gets older and finds out that his name is wo hated.
