And how he knows how horrible it is to be treated differently for being black in America... our PRESIDENT said this.
Still scratching my head over that one.
Have you actually seen a picture of our President? Even though he is biracial he looks black and if you think blacks are treated the same as whites in this country then you need to get out of your gated community.

Actually growing up in the projects we would've considered him a "redbone" or "high yella" (not that there's anything wrong with that). We're ALL treated differently by someone or another. That's life, and it'll never change.

So ... what do we have?
Obama made public remarks in response to a question he was asked.
The usual right-wingers here are trying desperately to turn that into an international incident, embarrasing somehow to the people of Kenya.
According to the Kenyan President ... "no one cares" about gay rights in Kenya ... so ... who is it that is making a big deal about this non-issue?
Bingo.
those questions were planned. What else to ask him when he makes it sound like his greatest achievement?

Did you listen to or read any of the President's remarks? The interchange in question was probably about 1% of what the President said.
No/ Did he say anything about fighting AIDS or hunger and why it has not been done yet?

Judging from your picture and your username I would've guessed Asian... or an alien because you're too beautiful to be a human. I'm half Apache and half Scottish, but I stopped trying to convince people that I'm a Native American long ago.

I love how the US should stay out of everyone else's business ... until it shouldn't, or until Obama doesn't and then it's OK for us not to respect their wishes.
Clearly, Kenya asked him ahead of time to leave the gay rights lectures at home. Does Obama go to ME countries and lecture them about gay rights or women's rights or religious tolerance and diversity? Were those part of the Iran deal? Clearly not or some of those prisoners wouldn't be in prison in Iran anymore.
Does he go to China and tell them to shut down their coal plants or clean up their air?
Does he go to Russia and lecture them on gay rights?
Furthering the agenda, at all costs. "Gay Rights" isn't a movement filled with "love". On the contrary. This is why i have an extremely hard time "accepting" it.

President Obama is in Kenya and he gave a press conference with the President of Kenya.
Obama spoke of Gay Rights and apparently President Uhuru Kenyatta is not happy.
Obama must know that Kenya is not friendly towards gays.
In fact, according to the story, sodomy for one, is punishable with prison terms.
Hmmm.
U.S. President Barack Obama’s first official visit to his father’s home country of Kenya was mostly a friendly diplomatic affair, including a dinner with extended family and a pledge to launch a new direct flight connecting citizens in both nations. But Obama’s disagreement with Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta on the issue of gay rights came to the forefront at a joint press conference at the Statehouse in Nairobi Saturday.
The presidential discussion highlighted the delicate challenge the U.S. faces in maintaining strong relations with foreign states that impose imprisonment and other harsh punishments on gay citizens, which the American government has called an abuse of human rights.

If you "love" each other, what's the use of "pride"? If you "love" each other, why do you prance around in public, acting all kinds of foolish? You don't see heterosexuals "celebrating" their "love" for one another, all over the streets, buttnaked; doing all kinds of sadistic things, do you???
Ok! You got your "rights". Now, fold up your flags. Pack up your bags. Go HOME and love your lover IN PRIVATE!
