Kenyan Mother Names Twins Romney and Obama

Obama, Romney, Kenyan Mother

One Kenyan mother has taken it upon herself to overcome the
partisan divide that split America during the Presidential elections. She’s
named her newborn twins Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.

On Tuesday, Millicent Owuor gave birth to twin boys at the
Siaya District Hospital in Nyanza province, Western Kenya, the local newspaper The
Standard  reported . Naming her two sons after the presidential
candidates would help her “remember the historic U.S. elections for a long
time, both the winner and the loser,” the 20-year old mother told the national
daily.

Siaya is the home district of Obama’s father, Barack Obama
Sr., who was born in the village of Nyang’oma Kogelo in 1936. Just days ahead
of the election, the village’s witch doctor, 105-year old John Dimo, had
accurately predicted the outcome of the elections by tossing shells and bones
and assessing the position they landed. “Obama is very far ahead and is
definitely going to win,” he told the Associated Press . Laugh about
it, but he was right — unlike those who believe in the Redskins
Rule, or critics of Nate Silver .
Back in 2008, when Obama became the 44th President, the New
York Times  reported that at the Nyanza Provincial Hospital in
nearby Kisumu, 23 boys were named Barack Obama and 20 girls Michelle Obama.
Barack and Mitt haven’t made it into the most popular 1,000
baby names in the U.S. over the last year, according to data by the U.S.
Social Security Administration , although wives Michelle (144) and Ann
(996) both did. And the vice presidential candidates did slightly better
than their running mates: Joe fell from 315 in 2000 to 491 last year, while
Paul dropped from 100 to 187.
