NBC Correspondent: Obama Is The Son Of Africa; Our Son Of African Soil

NBC News Special Correspondent Charlayne Hunter-Gault says Obama is the son of Africa. Also, during the introduction for Obama at Communist Mandela's memorial they introduced Obama as 'our son of African soil.'



Excerpt via MSNBC's Richard Wolf:

Obama, who was introduced as “our very son of the African soil” traced the course of Mandela’s life: from his childhood herding cattle to the legal training that shaped a liberation struggle as great as that of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. He retold the story of Mandela’s trial in 1964, his decades in prison, and his astonishing presidency as the great reconciler of a country few believed could ever heal from the violence and injustice of apartheid.

It must be noted that during the same memorial Nelson Mandela also was referenced as the son of Africa.
