Katey's post on the Obama visit

As I say below, Katey had a much more exciting time with Obama's visit (despite the naysayers, mainly me). You can read her post here:

I think the most interesting thing though is that the hospital Obama visited was newly painted and the driveway graveled with USAID money right before he got there. Oh yeah, and all the patients were discharged (well or not). The hospital is normally very crowded and not very sanitary, but Obama was able to come out of it and describe it in his speech as "a wonderful clinic and hospital that is focused particularly on maternal health" (because they kept some pregnant women around for him to meet).
