Kenya: Uhuru Disagrees With Obama On Gay Rights, Says Kenya Has More Critical Issues

 
File this one under "American silliness"  

allAfrica  via Allyson’s Geo-Political Inspections:

"President Uhuru Kenyatta has reiterated his stance that gay rights is a non-issue, saying Kenyans cannot accept what they do not want.

"Uhuru disagreed with Obama on the matter, saying values which "our culture and societies do not accept" must be acknowledged.

"He said value for family, democracy and entrepreneurship are common values but "there are other things that we do not share".

" 'We need to be able to speak frankly about some of these things," he told a joint press conference following bilateral talks at State House on Saturday.

 Then Mr. Obama plays the victim card as he learned from Michelle:
"It is wrong, treating people differently because of the people they love. As an African American in the US, I am painfully aware of what happens when people are treated differently".
 'It's a non-issue': Kenyatta (pictured speaking next to his American counterpart) said that after Kenya deals with other, more pressing issues such as terrorism, it can begin to look at new issues. But he said that the moment, gay rights is not at the forefront for the nation
The charm offensive is over! Obama gambles his rock star status in Kenya by blasting its barbaric treatment of homosexuals and women . . .
 . . . "The president, playing on his status as a 'son of the soil', was introduced by his half-sister Auma, who described him as 'my brother, your brother, our son.'

"'He's one of us,' she said. 'But we're happy to share him with the world.' " . . .

 At Least It's Not Just Republicans..." Congressional Republicans have endured Obama's patronizing lectures for seven long years. Congressional Democrats got a taste during the recent Pacific trade talks. But the good news is, it's nothing to take personally - this is about our First Condescender abroad:" . . .
