Thread Name: BS: Obama's Other Grandmother
Subject: RE: BS: Obama's Other Grandmother
This from The Standard, another newspaper from Kenya:

The family of the US President-elect Barack Obama was elated at his victory.

Mama Sarah Anyango Obama described his grandson's victory as a "defining moment for the world".

"Nyocha amor to sani karo amor moloyo," (I am excited more than ever before) she told a battery of journalists in reaction to the US historic elections outcome.

She added: "We thank God for answering our prayers. Barack has won and we wish him well in the more demanding and challenging office."

She disclosed that the family would attend the swearing-in, in January next year, and that they were expecting a call from the President-elect anytime.

"We will plan how to attend the vital celebrations in the US," Sarah said at her home in Nyangoma, Kogelo village.
