That's what you got out of an historic first visit by a U.S. President to Kenya where he took a stand on equal rights in the face of one of the most
anti gay national policies in the world?

Kenyan press? Faux News affiliate?

"Obama did little to paper over policy differences with Kenya's government, most notably on gay rights. He drew on his own background as an African-American, noting the slavery and segregation of the U.S. past and saying he is "painfully aware of the history when people are treated differently under the law."

"That's the path whereby freedoms begin to erode and bad things happen," Obama said. "When a government gets in the habit of treating people differently, those habits can spread."

Kenyatta was unmoved, saying gay rights "is not really an issue on the foremost mind of Kenyans. And that is a fact."

A number of Kenyan politicians and religious leaders had warned Obama that any overtures on gay rights would not be welcomed in Kenya, where gay sex is punishable by up to 14 years in prison. The Kenyan gay community also complains of sometimes violent harassment.

Obama also pushed Kenya to tighten its counterterrorism practices, which human rights group say have resulted in serious abuses. A Human Rights Watch report this year accused the Kenyan government of "extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detentions and torture by security forces."

"If in reaction to terrorism, you're restricting legitimate organizations, reducing the scope of peaceful organization, then that can have the inadvertent effect of increasing the pool of recruits for terrorism," Obama said."

Apparently the president shouldn't visit any countries because it's too expensive.

Especially any ancestral ones that he might be able to influence.

And ESPECIALLY ones with lots of black people!!!!

1 Billion Dollars!

Changed NOTHING!

He did however kill 50 or so people claiming them to be TERRORISTS.

I wonder who on the list was his real objective.

Why exactly won't he call anyone over here TERRORISTS?

The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED.
-BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is.

We wouldn't hear a word about cost if he had visited Israel.

This stuff is becoming tiresome.

If gay rights were so important to Mr sotero; why didn't he push that point in the Iranian Nuke deal? Hmmm not convienient I guess.

Probably the same reason the Iranians didn't bring up the CIA overthrow of democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Mosaddegh.

It's referred to by smart people as "diplomacy".
