Just wondering...

"Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki called Obama’s victory a “momentous” day for Kenya.
He declared tomorrow a public holiday for Kenyans to “celebrate the historic achievement by Senator Obama and our country”. (Source)

If this were a Jewish man elected for president, and Israel declared a national holiday to celebrate this event, what would have been the expected general response for such a gesture?
