NBC Reporter on Obama's African Summit: "The Fact That He's From Kenya" Helps

Commenting on President Obama's discussion with African leaders at the first U.S.-Africa Business Forum, NBC's Chris Jansing noted "the fact that he's from Kenya" will help.

"The fact that he's from Kenya and the fact that when he was elected there were expectations on the African continent that he would do great things for them, this is a concerted effort by this administration to get American companies to invest," Jansing said.

Jansing appeared on MSNBC shortly after to issue a correction. Jansing said she meant to say President Obama's father was from Kenya.
