Kenya Witch Doctor Foretells Obama Visit

President Obama is not officially scheduled to visit his ancestral home when he visits East Africa this week, but witch doctor John Dimo knows better.
After tossing some shells and animal bones on the ground, Dimo is convinced the American president will come to this tiny village, home of Mama Sarah Obama, 95, his step-grandmother, and the burial place of Barack Obama Sr., his father.

"The results indicate that Obama will come to Kogelo," Dimo told a circle of residents this month as they cheered with excitement at the prospect of a presidential visit as they watched his fortunetelling ritual. "It's a big secret, and he need not tell anybody that he will be visiting his ancestral home."
Dimo said he has a good track record for predicting the future: When Obama visited Kogelo in 2006 as a U.S. senator — before he announced his White House run — Dimo predicted he would someday become president.

"Believe me, I said Obama will become the U.S. president and it came to pass," he told onlookers. "Now, I can see he has planned to visit the village. He will come."
The village's anticipation is matched by excitement throughout Kenya as it prepares for Obama's arrival Friday to attend the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in the capital of Nairobi — the first visit of a sitting U.S. president to the country.
Crews are beautifying streets, repairing traffic lights and replacing old signs. Business owners are spiffing up their storefronts and sidewalks.
