Read every word of the following link carefully: it is the agreement Obama’s first cousin (Raila Odinga) made with the National Muslim Leaders Forum (NAMLEF) should he win the presidency. This is the would-be Islamofascist dictator Barack is backing in Kenya!:

Bump.
ping!
¡Sí, Se Puede !
How much worse is that than our current administration apparently taking orders from Mexico?
Odinga is not Obama’s first cousin. To be Obama’s first cousin Odinga must be the son of one of Obama’s parents siblings or vice versa.
That is clearly not the case.
Big deal. Dick Cheney is also Obama’s cousin.
I have tried to advise fellow freepers not to trust pro-Kibaki propaganda. Digging up stories from the sixties does not help. The best way for African Leaders to obtain aid money during the Cold War was to alternate between posing as Marxists and Capitalists. There were only a few true socialists like Nyerere in Tanzania.
Even Mobutu dabbled with the Chinese (they build one or two stadiums in Kinsasha). Idi Amin was friendly with Israel until syphilis induced madness took over him - he then moved over to Gaddafi. Siad Barre of Somalia rapidly alternated between East and West (all that mattered to him was competition with Haile Mengistu Miriam in Ethiopia). The Zambians were ‘marxist’ when Mao helped them build railways, subsequently pro-western, now pro-chinese because of investment in copper mines.
Who is the current government of Kenya and are they a current ally of Western countries?
Secondly is Obama supporting a coup by a Sharia Law Taliban like dictatorship?
This is HOT!!!
Can you point us to recent comments by Obama showing his support for this guy?
Also, can you tell us about the make-up of the current Kenyan government?
I’m not doubting you, but we need more specifics. Family relationship does not a scandal make.

On Kenyan radio, Obama urges calm
News & Observer, The (Raleigh, NC) - January 30, 2008
Author: Shashank Bengali, Mcclatchy Newspapers
NAIROBI, Kenya — Post-election tribal violence claimed its first political victim Tuesday — a young opposition lawmaker — as Sen. Barack Obama and former United Nations leader Kofi Annan urged Kenyans to find a peaceful solution.
Obama , D-Ill., whose late father was Kenyan, spoke on a popular FM radio station and urged President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga to negotiate without conditions.
“To refuse to do so ignores the will of Kenyans and the urging of the united international community,” the Democratic presidential candidate said on Nairobi’s Capital FM. “Now is the time for Kenya’s leaders to rise above party affiliation and past divisions for the sake of peace.”
More than 800 people have died in the violence in recent weeks after Kibaki claimed victory in an election that neutral observers say was rigged.
At talks presided over by former U.N. Secretary-General Annan on Tuesday, neither Kibaki nor Odinga signaled that he would give up claims to the presidency.
“I wish to pledge my support, and that of my entire government, to this process,” Kibaki said at a brief opening ceremony. When the 76-year-old president finished speaking, Odinga didn’t applaud.
Mugabe Were, a freshman member of parliament, is the first politician to die since the violence began a month ago. Were was shot as he arrived at his home in a middle-class Nairobi suburb shortly after midnight. As he waited for the gate to open, two gunmen dragged him out of his car and shot him in the head and chest, according to news reports.
A shadowy gang known as the Mungiki, whose members come from Kibaki’s Kikuyu community, claimed responsibility. The group, which is notorious for cultlike rituals and beheading its victims, also threatened several top political journalists, according to the news network KTN.
Odinga blamed Were’s killing on government supporters.
“This is an attempt at blackmail, intimidation of our members to succumb to an illegitimate, illegal regime,” he said.
Were, 39, was a popular civic activist who established an orphanage for HIV-affected children in the poor Nairobi neighborhood of Dandora. He had been elected last month as part of Odinga’s slim majority in the parliament. News of his death brought opposition supporters into the streets of Dandora, where they set Kikuyu-owned homes and businesses ablaze.
The honorable Joe Wilson. LOL!
In a blistering election day op-ed, Mr. Valerie Plame - Joseph Wilson - argues that “seasoned gladiator” Hillary Clinton is singularly qualified to weather the Republican attack machine in November because she “is one of the few who fully understood the stakes” in Plamegate.
Notably, Wilson speculates that Obama will fold in the face of questions concerning Obama’s association with Raila Odinga, leader of Kenya’s Orange Democratic Movement (and, according to Odinga, Obama’s cousin).
Wilson asks:
“How will Obama respond to charges by the Kenyan government that his campaigning activities in Kenya in support of his distant cousin running for president there made him “a stooge” and constituted interference in the politics of an important and besieged ally in the war on terror?”
Since this topic is way above my pay grade, I refer to Joe Conason’s explanation of the background facts:
Leading conservative blogs and publications charge that Obama recklessly aligned himself with opposition leader Raila Odinga of the Orange Democratic Movement. Followers of Odinga, a member of the minority Luo tribe, have perpetrated horrific atrocities against members of the Kikuyu tribe because incumbent president Mwai Kibaki and the nation’s ruling elite are Kikuyu. One of the worst incidents occurred in the village of Eldoret, where dozens of Kikuyu Christians burned to death when they sought shelter in a church that was then set afire by their rampaging pursuers.
These events are set within the broader story line of an alleged Muslim plot to overthrow the Kibaki government, which is friendly to the United States and the West, and replace the secular constitution of Kenya with sharia law, creating a haven for al-Qaida — which blew up the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi a decade ago and still operates there, according to American diplomats. During the Kenyan election, the Christian evangelical movement in Kenya circulated a “memorandum of understanding” allegedly signed by Odinga and a group of Muslim clerics that would commit his government to instituting Muslim strictures against pork and alcohol, setting up sharia courts and ending cooperation against terrorism with Western governments.
Denounced as a forgery by Odinga and Muslim authorities in Kenya, which it almost certainly is, that document nevertheless still circulates via the Internet and is quoted by American publications. The point is to raise questions about Obama and his connections with Odinga — who claims to be his cousin — and to infiltrate those doubts into the mainstream media.
It is true that Obama, whose family is Luo, lent support to the opposition leader during a visit to Kenya two years ago — and that they have maintained contact ever since. While that gaffe infuriated the Kibaki regime, it proved only that Obama lacked diplomatic expertise. During the current crisis in his homeland, he has tried to play a constructive role by taping radio announcements for the State Department that urge both sides to stop fighting and resolve their differences without violence.
This smells like a prime-time swift boat operation in the making. Conason predicts the GOP will lead the charge, but Wilson’s editorial leaves little question about the Clinton campaign’s willingness to man the helm.

Obama is black. Obama is a liberal. Obama is a socialist. Obama is a communist. Obama is a racist. Any of these, if you were a white male, would get you trashed. Because he is black, he gets away with it all.
Barak Hussein Obama must reign the presidential race and the US Sentate - TODAY!

The sins of the first cousin’s father are visited upon the presidential candidate......
