OK, thanks. In both cases she's wildly exaggerating Obama's connection with Kenya--even if he *had* been born in Kenya. He never lived there; the only other connection would be that his father was Kenyan. You could say Obama has a Kenyan *heritage*, but that's about it. > I Googled, Michelle Obama :my Kenyan Husband and came up > with several links. Neither of the videos at this link has her saying "my Kenyan husband." In one (at least according to the transcript), she refers to Kenya as Obama's "home country"; in the other she refers to Kenyans seeing him as a Kenyan. The blogger says, "Whatever the facts of his birthplace, it is clear that Michelle Obama thinks of her husband as a Kenyan." In both cases, however, the context is the trip she and Obama took to Kenya (to be tested for HIV, as an example to the population). It's pretty standard in politics to associate oneself (or one's spouse) with whatever place one happens to be visiting if one possibly can; it was particularly important to do that in Kenya considering the purpose of the trip. Anyway, since Obama's heritage is mixed, they have has more opportunities than most to claim such an association. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/05/is_michelle_obama_a_birther.html
