Kenyan woman gives birth to twins on election day..Welcome Obama and Michelle

[Sweetie]

tle Obamas and Michelles were coming to the world in maternities all over Kenya -- one woman managing both at the same time with a pair of twins -- as the party mood continued Wednesday in the nation where the US president-elect's father was born.


In the New Nyanza provincial general hospital in Kisumu, the capital of the region which is home to Barack Obama's ancestral village, Pauline Adhiambo gave birth to twins she named Obama and Michelle, an AFP correspondent reported.
At least eight other boys were named Barack or Obama -- or both -- in this hospital alone while maternities in the capital Nairobi and across the entire country reported new namesakes for the future occupants of the White House.
"I consulted my husband and we agreed the name Barack Obama would be ideal for our baby boy because the whole town and the entire world was very enthusiastic about Barack Obama, and we believe he is a great man," Josephine Anyango Anyango told AFP.

Cute, love it.

So I'm only now researching the internet to find out more about Barack Obama (yeah, I hold my head in shame).

Can anyone recommend some good websites.

Also is it true that Obama was persistent in pursuing Michelle, who initially refused his advances? Ahhh

^^From what I've read from interviews with her, yes. she was focused on her career and didn't want a personal life. She was supposed to be Barack's "mentor" at the law firm he got hired at after college. She thought he had a funny name and eventually gave in to having dinner with him because he kept bugging her about it.
