Hollywood has its star tours, Boston the Freedom Trail. Now Kenya is busy planning a new addition to the world’s tourist treks – the Obama experience.
Ten days away from the US presidential election, tour operators in the east African nation are positioning themselves for an Obama boom.
Kogelo, the remote village home of Barack Obama’s grandmother, Sarah, is nowhere near Kenya’s safari circuit. But the three hotels in the nearby city of Kisumu are booked solid for the week of the US elections, as visitors make a pilgrimage to the region where Mr Obama’s father was born and buried.

Amazing.
Why not go on a pilgrimage to see where Dick and Jane fell down the hill. Maybe go find the mythical home of the Umbaya. Go hunting for Tarzan's home.
What absolute morons. They deserve to lose every penny they have.
Fools and idiots
