No, he is not. He is the President of the United States; he was elected president of the United States in 2008. Some people who are called "Birthers" believe the president was secretly born in Kenya, but this is false. It is equally false that he is president of Kenya; the current president there is Mwai Kibaki.

President Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii, which makes him an American citizen, but his father was from Kenya. Everyone in America (with the obvious exception of Native Americans/American Indians) has ancestors from Another Country, so this is not unusual.

Barack Obama didn't meet any of his Kenyan relatives until 1988 when he visited the country for five weeks. He returned in 2006 to visit his father's birthplace, near the town of Kisimu.

President Obama also visited Kenya during his administration, but it was part of a tour of several nations and he hasn't made any indication that he feels a strong identity as a Kenyan. Instead, he has generally identified with other African-Americans, who originally came from many different areas and who often have little or no connection to any African country.

Barack Obama is not a Muslim; like his father, he is Christian. Although 10% of Kenya's population is Muslim, they live primarily along the coasts and in cities.

No, there is not. There have been some rumors that President Obama was related to several major political figures in Kenya, including Prime Minister Raila Odinga. But such claims were never proved, nor was there ever any evidence that Mr. Obama has relatives in office in Kenya. I enclose a link to one of the many fact-checking sites that have investigated and debunked these rumors.
