Here's a message a friend forwarded to me from her friend in Kenya:b,121b,121/font1

Quote:/font1h,121b,121I just wanted to show you just how important it was for the Kenyans that Obama won....a national holiday tomorrow which has been declared "Obama Day"!! ??I really don't know how these people get any work done....b,121b,121the streets and my school are filled with people celebrating. b, 21b, 21Here, there are no losers. If you lose an election, it is said that it is rigged and violence breaks out. Kenyans have much to learn from McCain when you lose a race. So hopefully, they will notice how defeat Should be handled for future generations. We'll see...I'm not holding my breath though.b,121b,121Sad, but true news..... they had "mock" voting held here for the presidential race and one Kenyan man tried to vote 2 different times for McCain but was, as papers put it, "thoroughly beat up twice" until police arrived finally. b,121b,121Welcome to Kenya, my home sweet home!b,121b,121-kamib,121b,121b, 21(the email below was sent by our school's administration this morning)b,121b,121b, 21h,121

font class="post"1b,121b,121Wow. That really says a lot. The international props for Obama are expected, but it's cool to hear other countries react to McCain's concession in such a positive light.
