President Obama is heading to Kenya next week to attend a summit on global entrepreneurship, but not everyone is happy about it.
Vincent Kidala, leader of Kenya’s Republican Liberty Party, is promising “5,000 totally naked men and women to protest the President Barack Obama’s open and aggressive support for Homosexuality.”

You see, they have to be naked so they can show the president the difference between a man and a woman:

Alrighty then.
The good news, however, is that naked protesters can’t hide a bomb (well, they could hide a bomb someplace, but not very easily). The State Department has issued a travel warning ahead of Obama’s visit:

And there’s good reason to worry about terrorism…

But if Kenya isn’t safe for tourists, it’s safe for a presidential visit?
#Kenya says it will halt temporarily all flights from the neighboring #Somalia during #Obama's visit 2 #Nairobi next wk for security reasons

The visit by the Italian PM and president Obama proves that Kenya is safe for all.

13000 officers to secure Obama.
This shows how Kenya insecure it is for the big guy?

What's protocol?— Lewis Ndichu (@Lewisonmd) July 15, 2015
Let’s hope everyone, both the clothed and unclothed, stay safe.
