After questioning me on Obama, his house, and the electoral college, Kairaba tells me he would like to be president of America. "But only for one month."
Me: Only one month? Because you will be tired?
Kairaba: No. After one month I will have a lot of money; I will not want more.
Me: But, you know, if you will be president, before you are president, a lot of people will have to say, "I want Kairaba."
Kairaba: Yes, I know.
Me: And the people who say, "I want Kairaba," they will be angry. If after one month you leave.
Kairaba: No, they will not be angry.
Me: No? I think they will be angry.
Kairaba: No, because if I were president for only one month--only one month, you understand?--just for the money, that would be like stealing.
Me: Yes...
Kairaba: And the people would not want a thief. So they would be happy I left!
Me: Yes...
Amadou: If I could be president of America for even three months, I would have enough money for three years!
