She meant his father was from Kenya.

10. I actually missed that part, probably while I was posting, though I did wait a few minutes to see

if she would be corrected or correct herself.

9. Thanks for pointing out my error. Typing "MSBNC" in conjunction with that name is a

habit formed from her long time at that particular channel. I hope you will forgive my grievious mistake.

Besides, MSNBC, NBC - six of one, half-dozen of the other ...

12. That's not why I posted.

I was pointing out that she would be covering the White House.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

13. Cool. Part of my point in posting it was the fact that she is now the White House reporter. She,

of all people, should know better as a White House reporter.

It was a Freudian slip, is what it was. She's in a position where objectivity should be the rule.

7. Link to video

From Mediaite:

In talking about the White House hopes for Africa becoming part of Obama’s legacy, Jansing said, “Yeah, the fact that he’s from Kenya, and that fact that when he was elected there were expectations from the African continent that he would do great things for them.”
