Obamania in Kenya

Obama is receiving support from perhaps the younger generation in the U.S., though not exclusively so. Those looking for a real change in the face of American politics and foreign policy also see in him a hope for an improved, more progressive, and more empathetic America.

Because of his diverse background he is also received with warmth and affection from other parts of the world, not least of all Kenya where his father was born.

But here's a twist, there is a beer in Kenya called Senator Keg lager, better known as "Obama". It's a popular beer, which came on the market in 2004, about the time that Obama was elected senator of Illinois, and Obama's image has helped in its growing popularity. It's also a cheaper beer than other brands and has a lower alcoholic content.

Let's hope that Kenyan drinkers will be downing "Obama" soon in celebration rather than in commiseration.
