PJ Media ^ | October 19, 2015 | Bridget Johnson

Kenya’s president told CNN over the weekend that the United States’ pressure on his country to ensure gay rights is not in sync with where his society is.

On his summertime visit to the country, President Obama spoke with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta privately on the issue and publicly in a joint press conference.

“As an African-American in the United States, I am painfully aware of the history of what happens when people are treated differently under the law,” Obama said then. “I’m unequivocal on this.”

“I’ve been consistent all across Africa on this. I believe in the principle of treating people equally under the law. The state should not discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation.”

Kenyatta said in an interview aired Sunday that this pressure isn’t taking into account the wishes of Kenyan society.

Like making sure there’s food on the table this evening. Or avoiding deadly diseases. Or charging rhinos.

Yeah like getting a free education and having a high paying job that requires no work and then back peddle into being elected president. Name one time you suffered you pos.

Bear in mind that he won TWO elections and might actually win another one. He is the face of America today.

I believe there is a 95%+ chance Obama was sexually abused as a child — Frank Marshall Davis (pedophile and communist), his tranny nanny, ..... I can name a few others but I leave it at that.

Was he part of the Down Low Club at Trinity church? Maybe?

He's 100% correct. The preferential affirmative-action treatment he has received throughout his life in the United States is positively appalling to anyone who is not an avowed racist.

I noticed that too. Affirmative Action millionaires can really break your heart with their tales of persecution and woe, hmmm?

It isn’t enough that they (and their less successful brothers and sisters) are cosseted through life by the rest of us, from cradle to grave: they want to point fingers at us and be outraged, and pitied as well.

I suspect the (actual) Kenyan president was tempted to say,
“As important as your genitals may be to you and your gay brothers, we in Kenya have real problems as well.”

We’re sorry, but the number you have reached only deals with sodomy and climate change. Please try your call again.

I’ll be impressed when one of the sodomite supporters goes to Saudi Arabia and right there, while in that country, calls for them enshrine sodomite mirage into law.

Didn’t he say the same thing over a month ago when Obama was there?
