Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are brothers!? Obama was actually born in Kenya?! It might sound strange, but it’s true. A young woman in Kenya has named her twins after President Obama and his recently defeated GOP challenger Mitt Romney .
According to Reuters , several babies born in Kenya recently were named after the President. But Millicent Owuor, 20, wanted to do more than honor the President of the United States; she wanted to celebrate political unity and bipartisanship.
Owuor said:
“I named the first twin Barack and the second one Mitt.”
So yes, as it turns out, Barack Obama really was born in Kenya.
According to the Kenyan newspaper, The Standard , the twin boys were born just a few miles from the village of Kogelo, where Obama’s father was born and buried.
Kenya and Africa saw a boost in aid during President Obama’s first term and they hope the President continues to focus on Africa during the next four years.
Mustafa Obama, the President’s half brother, said:
“If I had a chance to talk to him, which hopefully I will get after he is inaugurated again, my message would be to focus on Africa … If he can put more emphasis on education, health and all that matters to Africa instead of politics, that is my message to my brother.”
