Where Hope Finally Made a Comeback.
Obama's Militant Muslim Brother Abongo Is Luo Activist
Nothing to see here, move along.
Arguably the most colorful presidential sibling of my lifetime, Billy Carter became well known to the American public as Jimmy Carter’s beer-drinking brother. In similar fashion, Roger Clinton gained notoriety as Bill Clinton’s drug-abusing, ex-con brother. Now, another politician’s sibling stands on the verge of capturing the nation’s attention.
Unlike Billy Carter or Roger Clinton, Abongo “Roy” Obama will likely attract attention as First Brother for reasons other than his personal addictions if Barack Hussein Obama wins election in 2008 as the nation’s 44th president.
According to Investor’s Business Daily reports (see here and here), the older half-brother of the upstart Democrat presidential candidate is a militant Muslim activist in Kenya who has urged his younger brother to embrace his African heritage and supports implementation of Sharia law in a country that, until recently, has been regarded as among the most pro-Western and modern African nations.-by BMCWrites |
Obama’s way to white in that photo. In fact, he’s probably at least 50% a “typical white person”, including retrograde hate.
Even though you know this already.
It’s really great due to Obama’s book. He stated he had never been prouder than when his brother converted to Islam and stopped drinking and eating pork (wedding setting).
ABONGO (ROY) OBAMA
‘Certainly the older brother’
September 9, 2007
BY SCOTT FORNEK Political Editor
The way Barack Obama describes his oldest half-brother in his book, Abongo (Roy) Obama inherited their father’s hard-drinking ways but straightened his life out by embracing Islam and his African heritage.
Abongo Obama began using his Luo tribal first name and had sworn off pork, smoking and drinking by the time of his younger brother’s 1992 wedding.
“Abongo’s new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed, and at the wedding, he looked so dignified in his black African gown with white trim and matching cap that some of our guests mistook him for my father,” Obama wrote in Dreams From My Father.
Yeah, yeah, Billy Carter was a drunk, Roger Clinton was a dope addict, siblings mean noth....Hey wait a minute!
That photos racist
I’d like to see someone hand this moo moo SOB a ham sandwich and see what happens.
Obama “Proud” of Militant Muslim Brother
February 27, 2008 · No Comments
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is proud of his brother, Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama, who converted to Islam from Christianity. Sounds innocent enough if you read the Examiner.com article about Obama’s ties to his African family and their mixed religious backgrounds.
Here’s what the Examiner (D.C.) reported on Jan. 29, 2007 about Obama’s affection for brother, Roy:
“‘The person who made me proudest of all,’ Obama wrote, ‘was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol.’”
Now, piece that together with a Jan. 15, 2008 report from Investor’s Business Daily (that appears nearly a year after the Examiner.com article) which introduces us to the real Roy, and you’ll see why there’s reason to question Obama’s brotherly love for his militant Muslim brother.
“Obama has close family ties to Kenya, and even founded a school in his ancestral village — the Senator Obama School.
“In the bloody conflict there, which already has claimed some 700 lives, Obama appears to have sided with opposition leader Raila Odinga, head of the same Luo tribe to which Obama’s late Muslim father belonged.
“Obama’s older brother still lives there. Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must ‘liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.’ He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.
Beyond family politics, these ties have potential foreign policy, even national security, implications.”
The story remains untold to what extent Obama is committed to embracing his African heritage and supporting the militant activities of his brother, Roy, or the anti-Christian declarations of Raila Odinga, who claims to be his cousin. I think we already have a good idea about the leanings of his wife, Michelle, as evidenced by her tolerance for “white oppressors.”
If you think Hillary was the brains behind Bill in the White House, then just imagine the brilliant ideas Michelle has in store for her husband, Barack, to unleash on America. I’m guessing that she’s thinking, “It’s payback time!” And, maybe that’s a notion embraced by the entire Obama family.
Barack Obama on a roll. What do his relatives think? Back in Kenya, CNN’s Paula Newton pays a visit.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
PAULA NEWTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: To get to the Obama family farm we traveled across the equator, through some of Kenya’s most remote villages, left at the Growl (ph) road that turns to the Senator Obama school, up the dusty hill, and over potholes like you’ve never seen, not even in New Hampshire. And right on to the Obama homestead.
Hello. Hello. I’m Paula Newton with CNN. This is Mama Sarah, Barack Obama’s granny, as he calls her. This is where his father was born and grew up, and where 83-year-old Mama Sarah still lives. We interrupted your work today.
As her grandson is busy bringing in the votes, she’s bringing in the crops. Preparing feed for the livestock. But it doesn’t keep her from campaigning. What would you tell the American people about Barack to convince them to vote for him? In her native language, she says, he’s a good listener, and if he’s given a chance, he will work hard for America.
What do you think of Hillary Clinton? This is a contest, she says, diplomatically, but the best man or woman win. When was this picture taken?
SAID OBAMA, BARACK OBAMA’S UNCLE: This was taken in 1987.
NEWTON: Barack’s uncle, he shows us a photo of his nephew’s first visit to his Kenyan ancestral home just after his father died. Barack Hussein Obama is buried here. Mama Sarah says he would be heartbroken to see Kenya now. The Obamas say they don’t recognize the Kenya of the past few days. The bloodshed, despair and desperate need triggered by the disputed election. The Obama school hasn’t even been able to open this year because of the clashes.
OBAMA: Expected Kenya to be a beacon of open hope in this region, but again, politicians are politicians.
NEWTON: Though, he insists Barack Obama is different, humble like no other, he says, and that’s because of his Kenyan ancestry right down to this farm. Paula Newton CNN, Nyangoma-Kogelo, Kenya.
Abongo? What is his younger brother called, Tubongos?

The Soviet Union collapsed, but Marxists did not disappear. For example, the Castro brothers still run Cuba, Daniel Ortega is back in charge of Nicaragua and African Marxists are vying for power in their homelands.
Unsurprisingly, Marxists from Africa to the Americas are lauding young Barack Obama as their “agent of change.”
In Kenya, Raila Odinga, Barack’s cousin, just secured the prime ministership after violent protests of the re-election of his rival, President Kibaki, in a disputed race with Odinga that suggest that Virginia Governor and current Richmond, Virginia Mayor Doug Wilder’s warning of rioting if Democrat superdelegates don’t rubberstamp Barack should be taken seriously.
The New York Times: “Rono Kibet, an [Odinga] supporter who less than two months ago was burning down the houses of members of Mr. Kibaki’s ethnic group, said: ‘We will now stop the fighting. The agreement is very good.’”
“Good” from the perspective of that reported arsonist!
A source familiar with Kenyan politics warns Americans to look into Barack’s Kenyan connections before they leap:
“—Raila Odinga is of the Luo tribe to which Obama’s late African-Arab Muslim father belonged. Obama’s older brother still lives there; Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama is a Luo activist and militant Muslim who argues that the black man must liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture. He urges his younger brother, Barack, to embrace his African heritage. Barack Obama has a Kenyan grandmother [my note: according to Kenyan usage, not a biological grandmother] and several African brothers and sisters as well.
“—Raila Odinga is Barack Obama’s cousin.... Listen to Odinga interview with BBC reporter:news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7176683.stm
“—Obama interrupted his New Hampshire campaigning to speak by phone with Odinga, and he did not speak with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki. Would Obama put African tribal or family interests ahead of U.S. interests? (Investors Business Daily).
“—Odinga explained to another reporter that Obama would call him up to three times a day to check on the election in Kenya. It was controversial, you see. Raila Odinga is a Marxist, and he wants to make a majority Christian Kenya embrace Islamic customs: he wants Sharia law, and he made a pact with an Islamic hard-line group (their terrorist group name is on the Internet) to enforce this law as they see fit. Odinga wants to establish Sharia courts throughout the country; vows to ban booze, pork, and impose Muslim dress codes on women—moves highly favored by Barack Obama’s older brother, Abongo ‘Roy.’
“—Odinga claimed the election was rigged when he lost, then there were riots and a sort of civil war, but it was the Christians who were getting killed by the Muslims. Christians were burned alive in churches and they were macheted in the streets. It is reported that 1,000 people were killed when all was said and done. Right now, Odinga is claiming the presidency and fighting to be sole president, and in a diplomatic effort, the powers that be allowed him to be co-president until the election is figured out.
“—Odinga also had an interesting political strategist help with his campaign, an American, who used to be a campaign employee of Bill Clinton’s. It is the first time that an American poitical strategist has worked on any Kenyan campaign. Recommended by Barack Obama? [Note: That strategist is Dick Morris. Ask him!}
“—Raila Odinga’s official presidential website is similar to Barack Obama’s, and Odinga’s main campaign message and slogan is: CHANGE. Vote for Change. Agent of Change. Look at his website: http://www.raila07.com/
“Furthermore, Raila Odinga has close ties to an oil big shot: Sheik Abdullahi Abdi (oil $) chairs NAMLEF (National Muslim Leaders Forum) which Odinga signed a then secret pact with. (The document is actually available online.) This man has connections to Libyan socialist leader Muammar al-Gaddafi, who financially backed and supported Raila Odinga’s campaign.
“—Also, Raila Odinga was educated in communist E. Germany, and his father Oginga Odinga led the communist opposition during the Cold War.
“—With al-Qaida strengthening its beachheads in Africa—from Algeria to Sudan to Somalia—the last thing the West needs is for pro-Western Kenya to fall into the hands of Islamic extremists.”
The Castro brothers aren’t the only Marxists in the Americas rooting for Barack.
This year International Herald Tribune celebrated Valentine’s Day by published an AP article reporting the delight of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega with the Obama campaign.
AP:
“MANAGUA, Nicaragua: President Daniel Ortega, who led the 1979 revolution in Nicaragua, says Barack Obama’s presidential bid is a ‘revolutionary’ phenomenon in the United States.
“’It’s not to say that there is already a revolution under way in the U.S. ... but yes, they are laying the foundations for a revolutionary change,’ the Sandinista leader said Wednesday night as he accepted an honorary doctorate from an engineering university.
“Ortega led a Soviet-backed government that battled U.S.-supported Contra rebels before he lost power in a 1990 election. He returned to office last year via the ballot box.
“In statements broadcast on Sandinista Radio La Primerisima, Ortega said he has ‘faith in God and in the North American people, and above all in the youth, that the moment of great change in the U.S. will come and it will act differently, with justice and equality toward all nations.’”

Obama Odinga Atlas sighting
Good article in The Sun on the Obama/Odinga alliance. Discussed all the things I have been talking about at Atlas. The blogosphere will change the direction of the national dialogue to address the real issues despite big media’s abdication of its role as public servant.

The Kenya Connection Daniel Johnson
What, you will be asking by now, what does any of this have to do with Barack Obama? Well, Mr. Obama’s father came from Kenya and his son is proud to call himself a Luo. His Kenyan relations boast that, even if they cannot get a Luo into the Kenyan presidential residence, they can look forward to a Luo in the White House.
Indeed, the connection may be even closer than a tribal one. Mr. Odinga even claims that Mr. Obama is his cousin, because the senator’s father was Mr. Odinga’s maternal uncle. Whether or not this true, the two men are friends and political allies.
In August 2006, Mr. Obama visited Kenya and spoke in support of Mr. Odinga’s candidacy at rallies in Nairobi. The Web site Atlas Shrugs has even posted a photograph of the two men side by side. More recently, Mr. Odinga says that Mr. Obama interrupted his campaigning in New Hampshire to have a telephone conversation with his African cousin about the constitutional crisis in Kenya.
What should Americans make of Mr. Obama’s Kenyan connection? If he has been putting tribal or family considerations above America’s national interest by supporting Mr. Odinga’s anti-Western candidacy, it raises serious questions about his judgement.
What should Americans make of Mr. Obama’s Kenyan connection? If he has been putting tribal or family considerations above America’s national interest by supporting Mr. Odinga’s anti-Western candidacy, it raises serious questions about his judgement.
At the time of his visit in 2006, President Kibaki’s spokesman complained that Mr. Obama was behaving like a “stooge” of Mr. Odinga — which was at best undignified for a visiting American senator, and at worst unwarranted interference in the internal politics of another country.
Even more serious are the doubts raised by Mr. Obama’s attitude toward Islam, which has so far received much less scrutiny than might be expected in a post-September 11 presidential election.
If Mr. Obama did not know about Mr. Odinga’s electoral deal with the Kenyan Islamists when he offered his support, then he should have known. If he did know, then he is guilty of lending the prestige of his office to America’s enemies in the global war on terror. We need to know exactly what Mr. Obama knew about Mr. Odinga, and precisely when he knew it.
And Melanie Phillips cites Atlas over at The Spectator: Kenyan Jihad,
A sizable, largely poor Muslim population concentrated along the coast — and proximity to the volatile states in the Horn of Africa, including Somalia and Sudan — have made Kenya especially vulnerable, in the views of counterterrorism experts, to the call for jihad. Since the early 1990s, the mosques of Mombasa and other towns have resonated with militant Islamic rhetoric. Radical imams have preached violence against Westerners, attacked the Kenyan government as the lackey of the United States and Israel and called for the implementation of Shariah. Members of the Qaeda cells that blew up the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Aug. 7, 1998, were recruited in mosques near the Indian Ocean beaches where hundreds of thousands of Western tourists flock each year.
Apart from that, I have found plenty of worthy hand-wringing in the mainstream media about tribal violence between equally bloodthirsty Kenyan sectarian groups, but diddly squat about the Kenyan jihad and the remorseless creation of Africastan.
And now look at this on Atlas Shrugs which, after railing at the media for failing to report what is actually going on in Kenya, makes the following claim:
Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a ‘close personal friendship’ with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior.When Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi: Obama’s bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila’s ‘stooge.’
Oh dear. Maybe this is what Obama means by being the candidate of ‘change’.

Obama, Odinga & Kenyan Jihad
by Kurt Schulzke
Last night, I reported on Barack Obama’s active support of Kenyan jihadi candidate and Obama cousin Raila Odinga. What escaped mention was Odinga’s explicit plan to turn Kenya into an Al Qaeda terrorist incubator. A close analysis of Odinga’s agreement with Sheikh Abdullahi Abdi shows that — if Odinga had been elected as Kenyan president last fall — he would have made it impossible under Kenyan law for “any Muslim arrested for or suspected of Terrorism” to be tried anywhere but Kenya under Kenyan law. That law, in turn, would henceforth be exclusively Shariah law in “Muslim declared regions” — the “coast” and “North Eastern regions” of the country – see the map, below — now visited by hundreds of thousands of western tourists each year.
Kenya & Somalia
It is no coincidence that this area of Kenya borders Somalia – for many years an Al Qaeda stronghold — site of the Clinton administration’s version of the Bay of Pigs, in Mogadishu, the event that serves as the basis for the movie Black Hawk Down. Also noteworthy is Kenya’s proximity to Tanzania, focus of much of George Bush’s efforts to save Africa and, arguably, where Bush is today most loved in the world.
In these “Muslim declared” regions, the Odinga-Abdi agreement would outlaw – among other things – Farmer’s Choice, pork, other “haram products” and “women’s public dressing styles considered immoral or offensive to the Muslim faith” for all women, not just Muslims. At the same time, Odinga would establish a Sharia law court in every Kenyan “divisional headquarters.” One foreseeable result of these machinations is that Al Qaeda would be safe-havened in Kenya, free to foment mahem and terror around the world. Little wonder that Louis Farrakhan has endorsed Obama for president.
The question every Democrat should be asking is how any American president – as Barack Obama seeks to become – could support a scheme so obviously designed to further the global jihad? Restated: With Americans like Obama, who needs Al Qaeda?
Conservative Republicans face a related question: In light of this information, could you in good conscience not vote for John McCain in November if the Dems stupidly choose Obama as their “daddy”?
I'm sorry, but, when are the people in this country gonna f@#*ing wake up....
Typical black relatives
Thanks for the link....
I will say this. I've noticed a theme of resentment that is present, not only in his books, but in dialogues with people that knew him...and Islam and resentment can make for a very dangerous mixture.
Since we can at least agree that he isn't practicing Islam overtly, the question isn't whether he is or is not Muslim. The question is, to what extent does his Madrassa, and paternal experiences, influence his reason and judgement, which it must at some level, and that would be true of anyone. Only a fool or idiot (and I mean that literally)would think otherwise.
...That last paragraph wasn’t directed at you. Forgot to include that :)
Bump!
Obama X
bttt
Of course he would. I am convinced that he is a closet muslim. I'm in the process of reading his book to confirm some of the quotes I have seen. At best, he is racist, and has no fondness for whites.
You know, Hillary said that you can’t pick your family but you can pick your pastor. I think that’s true. However, you also have the obligation to distance yourself from family members that are radical. I bet Obama embraces them also.
...
I’m surprised this story is still below the radar..
Here is yet another picture of OBAMA all dresed up in muslim garb.
Appears the media has decided to suppress.
Wait ‘til Hillary pulls out the big guns. Everybody and his brother will know about this.
NOW APPEARS OBAMA’S COMMUNIST MUSLIM COUSIN IS PM OF KENYA
Cabinet: Kibaki meets ministers
Story by NATION Team
Publication Date: 2008/04/01
Cabinet ministers have said they are ready to work with ODM leader Raila Odinga to implement the power-sharing deal signed in February, sources close to the meeting have revealed.

In the first formal Cabinet meeting since President Kibaki and the Prime Minister-designate signed the deal to end post-election violence, the ministers also agreed on the need to speed up the resettlement of displaced families.
They also challenged the police to beef up security and crack down on those threatening the refugees who are willing to return to their farms.
However, the 15 ministers said President Kibaki should not share executive authority with any other office. The President can consult on who should be in government but the final say on who should occupy which position should be left to him, sources privy to the talks said.
Determine size
Sources said the ministers wanted the President to determine the size and structure of the Cabinet and insisted that he should not be dictated to.
The team said it was ready to work with Mr Odinga, the Prime Minister-designate, but claimed that he was “a man under siege”.
According to the sources, the ministers said Mr Odinga was “a different man” when he consulted with the President but often appeared to be a changed person after consulting his party.
However, Mr Odinga’s spokesman, Mr Salim Lone, said in an interview with the Nation that the party was ready to meet the Government coalition to resolve the impasse over the Cabinet.
He said ODM had a clear perspective on what the accord signed between President Kibaki and Mr Odinga entailed.
The accord was signed on February 28, to end post-election violence in which over 1,200 people were killed after a dispute over the presidential election results.
The deal also provided for sharing of power between the President’s party, PNU and ODM.
And while addressing the Africa economic minister’s conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Monday, Mr Benjamin Mkapa said the power- sharing deal signed by President Kibaki and Mr Odinga provided the framework for peace.
The former Tanzanian president was a member of the team of eminent Africans that negotiated the deal.
“I don’t think there is a Cabinet crisis since they are already agreed on the framework,” said Mr Mkapa.
Give up slot
He said the task of naming a Cabinet should be left to the two leaders.
According to the sources who attended Monday’s Cabinet meeting, some ministers are said to have expressed willingness to give up the slot of Local Government Ministry to ODM.
The ministry, alongside those of Finance and Internal Security, are among those yet to be agreed on. Both PNU and ODM have been laying claim to the portfolios, sparking the crisis.
However, a Government source later said that the issue of giving up the Local Government seat had not been discussed.
An ODM source later said that the offer was not sufficient.
Monday’s meeting was attended by 15 of the 17 ministers because Foreign Affairs minister Moses Wetang’ula was away on official duties in Maputo, Mozambique, while Science and Technology minister Noah Wekesa was out of Nairobi.
The Cabinet appeared to add new qualifications for those hoping to be in the new line-up to be named by the President and the Prime Minister-designate, Mr Odinga.
Those to be named in the grand coalition Cabinet should be clean people who are not facing any pending court cases and who will help drive economic growth.
On resettling internal refugees, the ministers expressed frustration at the inability of families to return to their farms over alleged threats and called on the police to act against those perpetrating violence.
Education minister Sam Ongeri explained the status of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exam which was marred by what the ministry described as a computer hitch.
Over 4,000 candidates had their results downgraded after they were allegedly given a mean score that was higher than what they actually scored.
Finance minister Amos Kimunya gave an update on the Safaricom share flotation saying the Government was likely to raise the Sh50 billion budgeted for in the sale.
Accompanied President
After the meeting, the President met Prof Saitoti, Mr Kenyatta, Mr Kimunya and Mr Michuki. The Roads minister later accompanied the President to State House.
The President and Mr Odinga have met twice and failed to reach an agreement on the sharing of Cabinet positions. PNU had initially proposed that the Cabinet should have 44 members but later revised the figure to 38. ODM has been advocating a 34-member Cabinet.
So far, only 17 ministers have been appointed but the other seats cannot be given to ODM because appointments must take portfolio balance into consideration.
ODM is on record saying it will not accept the “bones” of the Cabinet slots and would go for “the steak”.
On Monday, Mr Lone said a large Cabinet would burden taxpayers in view of the economic challenges facing the country.
“ODM is being realistic that a bloated Cabinet is not good for the country and we believe that is what Kenyans want,” he added.
In the Cabinet meeting, the ministers agreed on the need to speed up the resettlement programme for internal refugees.
But their resolution came as families camping in some Rift Valley towns received threats warning them of death should they go back to their farms.
Many internal refugees have been exposed to water-borne diseases and other complications due to the cold and rainy season which started last month.
On the Safaricom Initial Public Offering, the Cabinet resolved to encourage Kenyans to participate in the buying of shares, especially because the unit price was set at an affordable level, Sh5 per share. The minimum number of shares that individual investors can apply for is 2,000, which cost Sh10,000.
The Cabinet considered the IPO one of the most effective ways of empowering Kenyans and distributing wealth.
It also considered amendments to the East African Community Treaty and approved the ratification of the amendments.
The President had arrived at Harambee House 10.30am ahead of the 15 ministers.
The ministers, who included Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka, were tight-lipped about what was discussed at the meeting.
A statement from the Presidential Press Service said the President had “outlined the implementation of the National Accord and Reconciliation Act,” that was passed by Parliament and assented into law last month.
Support accord
“The Government is fully supportive of the Accord and its full implementation,” the statement said.
The accord, which was witnessed by former UN secretary general Kofi Annan and President Kikwete, outside the Office of the President, created the post of Prime Minister and two deputies.
PNU and ODM will appoint one deputy prime minister each. While Sabatia MP Musalia Mudavadi is expected to fill the ODM slot, it is not yet clear who will be the PNU nominee.
The race appears to be between Justice minister Martha Karua, Local Government minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Internal Security minister George Saitoti.
Besides the seats, the Accord also required PNU and ODM to share the Cabinet seats equally, while taking portfolio balance into account.
Last week, President Kibaki held two separate meetings with Mr Odinga at Harambee House but they could not agree on the size of the new Cabinet nor on the portfolio balance.
In the last meeting, the two agreed to adjourn before reconvening to agree on power-sharing after consulting their parties.
Government spokesman Alfred Mutua later said that Mr Odinga failed to return as agreed while ODM wrote protest letters to the Head of the Public Service, saying what the party had been offered was unacceptable.
The ministers left the meeting in two groups, the first 10 included the Vice-President and the Justice minister.
The second group stayed behind for about 10 minutes with the President and left after he and Roads minister John Michuki left for State House.
Ummm, sounds familiar.
By coincidence, I just watched “The Last King of Scotland” before going online tonight. Then I saw this thread. Very scary!
In an early scene, Idi Amin is speaking to a large crowd of people. They are enthralled by him—laughing, clapping, singing, dancing.
He says: “I have come to bring change to our country. I am an ordinary man, like all of you. I am You.
I am going to bring excellent health care to the people. I am going to bring you good education. I am going to build you houses.”
It all sounds too familiar. The demagogue Obama is making the same empty promises to the same ignorant masses with the same strong emotional appeal.
By the end of the movie, 300,000 Ugandans are dead, tortured and murdered in hideous ways.
Is Obama “Idi Amin Lite”?
And we're the Jews.
Good observation.

Obama’s Cousin Brings Sharia To Kenya
I thought about talking about this earlier but I figured this was better for the general election. Oh well....
From Sodahead
Who is Odinga? Odinga is Obama’s cousin. Odinga and Obama are from the same Kenyan Luo tribe. Odinga supporters are the people that are burning christians alive, trapped inside churches … most of Odinga’s fanatical followers are radical Islamists who have pushed for Islamic Sharia Law, total banning of other religions and closing of co-ed schools, night clubs and ‘public dressing style considered immoral’. Odinga was educated in Former Soviet controlled East Germany and maintains a strong loyalty to the vision of his ‘Educators’ and has allied with Islamist in order to gain their political support.
In 2006 Obama took a trip to Kenya and voiced his support for his fellow tribesman and political ally, Odinga.
Obama also directly attacked the sitting Kenyan leadership (Kibaki) calling them ‘corrupt’ (Kenya is one of the most stable places in Africa).
Odinga is the cat that ran on the socialist democrat ticket in Kenya and lost to sitting president Kibaki.-posted by sodahead
UPDATE
ODINGA NAMED KENYA PM
Judging from Rev. Wright’s sermons, which Obama listened to for 20 years without contradicting the minister, I think he and Wright believe that “The only good white man is a dead white man.”
