He just put Obama back in his place in an epic way when he brought up ‘gay rights’.
With a warm smile, fond reflections on his
family’s ties to Kenya and even a ‘birther’ joke, he charmed the
African nation’s leaders on Saturday night.
But at one point, President Barack Obama struck a nerve.
Speaking at a press conference outside
Nairobi’s State House, Obama condemned Kenya for its treatment of
homosexuals, comparing discriminating against gays to treating people
differently due to race and saying that ‘law-abiding’ citizens should
not be punished for loving a particular person.
‘As an African-American in the United
States I am painfully aware of what happens when people are treated
differently,’ he said. ‘When you start treating people differently, not
because of any harm they are doing, but because they are different,
that’s the path whereby freedoms begin to erode.
‘[If] somebody is a law-abiding citizen…
the idea they are going to be treated differently or abused because of
who they love is wrong. Full stop.’
In response, Kenyan President Uhuru
Kenyatta, who was standing on a stage alongside Obama, declared that gay
rights are a ‘non-issue’ in Kenya.
