Now, a batch of Kenyan newborn babies will be called 'Air Force One Obama' in honour of US President Barack Obama's visit to the country -- with some mothers evidently hoping their offspring will be future high-flyers.
Already there are numerous young Barack Obamas living in Kogelo, the president's ancestral village, but soon after Obama touched down on Friday night two mothers in the western city of Kisumu took the unusual decision to name their sons after the president's jet, Air Force One.
"I have decided to call my baby Air Force One Barack Obama so that we can all remember Obama's visit to Kenya because it is a huge blessing," said Lucy Akinyi Okoth, one of the mothers.
Another, Lucy Atieno, decided to simply call her boy Air Force One.
"I have been told that it is the best aeroplane because it carries a very powerful leader of America who is also a Kenyan," she said.
The two Air Force Ones were among eight children born on Friday night at Kisumu Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Referral Hospital and named after Obama, said nurse Dolphin Akinyi.
"Yesterday from 8.30 pm we had eight deliveries and all the babies are in a very stable condition," she said.
Three girls also each got an Obama-related name. One was named Michelle after the first lady, another was called Malia, after the couple's eldest daughter, while a third was named Malia Sasha after the two Obama girls.
"I could not call my daughter any other name," said Wilkister Anyango, who took both Obama's daughters' names for her child.

Kenyans are used to finding out their political leaders are corrupt. They’ll just call the kid AFOO.
——Theyve also started a cargo cult.-——
LOL.....that would not surprise me....
I'll be darned, I thought he was Indonesian.
Frank Marshall Davis
Orrrr....Mohammed Subud
How many kids in this country have been named “Patriots Win The Super Bowl”?
It’s pretty much the same thing.
Mohamed wins. So some Indonesian religious cult leader is Zero’s daddy? Spitting image.
I've thought the same thing, but I think it will happen after he leaves office. After dismissing those who asserted he was born in Kenya as nut cases and conspiracy theorists all these years, the temptation to rub everybody's noses in it by admitting they were right all along will prove to be irresistible to him. Not only that, instead of realizing that he played them for fools also, his supporters will gloat right along with him.
Hey Kenya! you love him so much? take him back!
Wouldn’t that invalidate every executive action he took while in office?
The idiots in his birth country are as bad as the idiots here.
He will either admit that or he will admit he is homosexual.
Heck, he might go for the big 3fer and admit all 3.
Toss in he will admit he is a communist/marxist.
this all shows he is one serious messed up individual, but we already knew that.
They are as children...
He is finally where he belongs.
I’m not sure that his father wasn’t an extraterrestrial.
I assume someone very important named Lucy visited a few decades back.

Lucille Ball?
Its sad that there are those of us who believe he might not leave office and know theres not a damn thing we could do about it if he doesnt.

Take hope, it’s been said of every two term president since Roosevelt and probably even before that.
