DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- U.S. President George Bush presented Tanzania's president with a pair of Shaquille O'Neal's basketball sneakers Sunday in Dar Es Salaam.
In a reciprocal gesture, President Jakaya Kikwete presented a stuffed leopard and lion, a Zebra skin and a wood carving to the American president, CNN reported.
The visit to the Tanzania's central city marked the second stop of Bush's five-nation African tour.
Kikwete kept in good standing with Bush while dodging a question about Sen. Barrack Obama, D-Ill., possibly succeeding the Republican as U.S. president.
"Let him be as good a friend of Africa as President Bush has been," he said.
