Obama's family gathered in Kolego Village, ceremonial bull awaits win

Bull awaits Obama win in Kogelo village
By NATION Correspondent Posted Saturday, November 1 2008 at 19:35

Senator Barrack Obama’s relatives have congregated at Nyangoma Kogelo village and will remain together until after Tuesday’s US presidential elections.

They have set aside a bull to slaughter in celebration should the Illinois senator, whose father was Kenyan, win according to family spokesperson Mr Malik Abongo.

3. Its just their version of steak.
And it probably had a better life than the cows that go to our fast food places.

7. And it's a hell of a lot of steak, too. Enough to feed a small village.
I mean, these are people who probably subsist most of the time on rice or other grains, and get to eat meat maybe a few times a year. For them this is like the party of the century!

Poor guy.

4. Maybe the bull is an Obama supporter
and doesn't mind taking one for the team.
