 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Sen. Barack Obama met Kenya's president and survivors of a terrorist bombing and was greeted by cheering crowds wherever he went Friday on his first visit to his father's native land since he was elected.
As Obama rushed from meeting to meeting, well-wishers shouted out his name and stretched to shake his hand as police armed with batons kept watch.
Lucy Kagai and her young son, Dennis Munene, spent more than an hour pressed up against a fence waiting for Obama to emerge from a lunch meeting. When he finally came out, the crowd of perhaps 200 cheered and pushed forward, scaring the boy into tears.
