President Obama is rightfully going to pressure Kenya on human rights abuses. This is a great thing, however, this video explains that he is not consistent when it comes to human rights. He refuses to pressure Saudi Arabia, Brunei, & Malaysia about their human rights abuses. So it seems as though he'll only pressure governments if it doesn't get in the way of his agenda (i.e. oil relations with Saudi Arabia, trade deals with Brunei and Malaysia).
