Well, that was quick. Less than 24 hours after Barack Obama was elected to be the 44th president of these here United States, New York-based safari provider 2Afrika is touting their 11-day "Presidential Heritage Safari." They'll show you the sites of Kenya, the home nation of Barack Obama's father, and generally capitalize on his popularity. Hey, it's the American way.

According to 2Afrika, the trip will take you to "Nairobi, Mt. Kenya Forest, Lake Nakuru National Park, and the Maasai Mara Game Reserve for a fully inclusive Game Safari before heading northwest to the city of Kisumu...a mere stone's throw away from the birthplace of Barack Hussein Obama, Sr." You have to admire their creativity. The whole package will cost you $2,999 per person, so you may want to wait for President Obama to fix the economy first.

In other news, the "John McCain Bingo Vacation and Early-Bird Special Package" is now on sale. Dress socks with sandals will be provided.
