Odinga says Obama is his cousin
BBC ^ | 1/08/08 | Staff

Posted on 01/08/2008 6:23:22 PM PST by Kid Shelleen

Mr Odinga told the BBC's The World Today that Senator Obama's father was his maternal uncle.

Mr Obama's father - a Kenyan also called Barack - met and married his American mother when they were students at the university of Hawaii.

Mr Obama has previously been identified as a distant cousin of Vice-President Dick Cheney.

Mr Obama's father came from the same Luo community as Mr Odinga.

---SNIP--

He said Mr Obama had on Monday taken time out of campaigning for the New Hampshire primary to call him twice, to express his concern, and to say that he would also be calling Mr Kibaki.

Here’s what I’m saying. He becomes President. He chooses to visit his birthplace, Kenya. Upon arrival he is pressured about his muslim birthright, the one that says he never left, only became disobedient. He announces his intention to accept his birthright (planned all along) and re-dedicate himself to his faith, Islam. Americans start dying as part of a smoldering civil split. This guy is most definitely a risky plan.

This story is breaking out into the MSM, but they are not telling the whole truth. Its a sort of watered down spin of the facts, damage control.

Someone needs to come right out with the whole dose, which will happen very soon, probably is SC.

Sooner the better.

We may have problems with emotional Obama supporters. I expect riots in the streets.

As far as I am concerned, Obama is an Idi Amin in the making. He needs to be cut OFF , now.

Checked this out on “snopes.com”. It is factual. Check for yourself.

Who is Barack Obama?

U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born
in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM
from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from
Wichita, Kansas.

Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two
years old, his parents divorced. Hi s father returned to Kenya. His
mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.?
When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocate to Indonesia. Obama
attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a
Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is
quick to point out that, “He was once a Muslim, but that he also
attended Catholic school.”

Obama’s political handlers are attempting to make it appear that
that he is not a radical.

Obama’s introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this
influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned
to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct
influence over his son’s education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham,
introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school
in Jakarta.

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim
terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since
it is politically expedient to be a CH RISTIAN when seeking major
public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama

Funny, who would of thought that Hillary would actually start using truth as a genuine political weapon. She is doing the nation a great service as far as I am concerned, but purely in her own self interest.

She should tell all of it right from the stump. Obama is an Islamofascist as his conduct in Kenya proves. But she wants him on a leash in case she needs a running mate.Thats the bad news. Proving that she will get into bed with just about anyone to be elected , including a modern version of Idi Amin, which is what Obama truly is.

The Pledge of Allegiance thing is BS, as is the Quran Swear-In.

What isn't is that Dad Obama (scion of a wealthy agricultural family) was already married to a Kenyan girl when he married Ms. Dunham. In fact, Obama Sr. was married a whole lot and had a lot of children. Polygamy is a Muslim ... and African thing..... Interesting guy, though Papa Obama, Ph.D. and all.

But Ma and hubby No. 2, or 1, depending upon the state of bigamy law, eventually sent the youngster back to live with the old folks in Kansas.

Ya couldn't make this story up in Hollywood.

Let us not forget that it is completely OK for a Muslim to lie to us (the infidels) to accomplish their goals.

The only way he could get into a madrassah is to register as a Muslim. For Obama to now claim he was never a Muslim makes him a liar then, now or both but one thing for sure, he lied. I would like the press to ask him one question, does he accept Jesus Christ as his savior and consider Mohammad as a false prophet?

And the rule is, once a Muslim, always a Muslim. You aren’t allowed to back out.

Tell that to my friend Bishop Alpha Mohammed, one of the finest Christians I've ever had the privilege to know.

Sorry, I don’t think that. Muslims do.

Which gets back to the question, why aren’t angry Muslims issuing Fatwahs against him for joining a Christian church? Or do they know something?

Yes, that’s his story. But what is it that is keeping the Muslims off his back? I think he has some sort of back channel communications with them.

Back Channel communication?

Exactly what kind of Islamofascist monies are pouring into his campaign??

The big problem with Obama is that he’s only in his mid-forties. One way or another we’re stuck with a jihadi for years.
