KENYAN PRESIDENT SHUTS OBAMA DOWN

Obama and Kenya's president went toe to toe over gay rights this weekend. President Obama wrapped up a two-day visit to Kenya Sunday, where he urged leaders in his father's homeland to root out corruption, treat women and minorities as equals and protect the rights of homosexuals. "I've been consistent all across Africa on this," the president said. "I believe ...the state should not discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation." But in a tense exchange, Kenya's president rejected Obama's message on gay rights, saying it was one value Christian Kenya does not share with the U.S. "The fact of the matter is that Kenya, the United States, we share so many values, but there are some things that we must admit we don't share -- our culture, our society don't accept," President Uhuru Kenyatta said. "This is why I repeatedly say that for Kenyans today, the issue of gay rights is really a non-issue," he continued. "We want to focus on other areas that are day-to-day living for our people."
