In case you didn’t already know, Illinois Federal Senator Barack Obama is in Africa right now. He’s been visiting various places, including his father’s country, Kenya. (Actually, after checking his website it looks like he’s already left Kenya and is on to Djibouti.)

Barack has been a local politician on the rise since his speech at the last Democrat National Convention and there have been rampant rumors of a possible presidential run in 2008.

For now you can check out some pictures and details of the trip here.

ABC7 reporter Charles Thomas has been following Obama and has been keeping an interesting journal on the trip here.
