NAIROBI, Kenya – WND author and staff writer Jerome Corsi has arrived in the Kenyan capital to investigate Sen. Barack Obama's ties to the prime minister, Raila Odinga, who was appointed to the position to stop a wave of violence by Muslim supporters.
Corsi came at the invitation of Christian missionaries who contend the rise of Islam in the African nation has been spurred by an agreement Odinga signed with Muslim leaders in an effort to win the presidency last December. Odinga lost but now shares power with the Kenyan president to appease Islamic leaders.
Corsi's highly critical book examining Obama's career, "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," remains on the New York Times best-seller list after its publication Aug. 1. The book was No. 1 on the list for four straight weeks after its launch.
Corsi plans to file daily dispatches from Kenya for the next week.
In a chapter of "The Obama Nation" titled "Kenya, Odinga, Communism, and Islam," Corsi says Obama supported the candidacy of Odinga, a Luo tribesman like Obama's father, in the 2007 Kenyan presidential election, opposing current president Mwai Kibaki, a member of Kenya's largest tribe, the Kikuyu.
WND previously reported a segment by Chicago's WBBM-TV that documented Obama attacking Kibaki with critical comments during a 2006 Senate "fact-finding trip" to Kenya.
The WBBM news team interviewed on camera Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Matua, who accused Obama of meddling inappropriately in Kenyan politics.
Matua said politely but pointedly, "I think Obama has to look at critically where he is receiving his advice from. Just because somebody somewhere wants to run for president, and he is using Senator Obama as his stooge, as his puppet, to be able to get where he wants to get."

I sent an email to the McCain campaign basically telling them that Senator McCain and the rest of the REP need to grow a pair (though I was much nicer in my note). I told them that the DEMS don’t mind playing dirty and we are going to have to play that way too. Be strong, look/act Presidential and name names if necessary.
I’m really beginning to worry that we are going to have to all hail “king” n0bama come 2009. *barf* I’m going to be an anorexic alcoholic before this election is over.
I hope he’s got a bodyguard.
“Be strong, look/act Presidential and name names if necessary.”
I’m beginning to wonder if McCain’s “I’m going to make them famous” comment is his “read my lips, no new taxes” moment in this campaign.
Thank you, RR.
Pinging everyone.
Corsi should be looking for evidence that Obama was born in Kenya.
Corsi doesn’t have a lot of time left to fly, probe, fly, write, get published and distributed.....yeah there’s the internet, but facts still take time to take hold...particularly among independents.
Hurry Jerome.

Being one of Barack Obama’s most devoted disciples, Samoan congressman Eni Faleomavaega would be seeking the Indonesian government’s assistance in supporting Barack Obama’s presidential campaign as well as making the requisite pilgrimage to Barack Obama’s childhood school.
According to our Indonesian sources, “officials” who accompanied Faleomavaega were interested in acquiring any and all documentation or photographs of a young Barry Soetoro for America’s “national archives” and they were offering cash, lots of it. In a show of faith, Barack Obama’s childhood school would be one of the very first beneficiaries of this outpouring receiving thousands of dollars to upgrade the school and for the purchase of computer equipment, thanks in part to the benevolence of this visiting junket.
The challenge of course was securing Indonesian goverment records potentially damaging to Barack Obama’s candidacy for the US presidency as well as other records pertaining to a young Barry Soetoro and his family wouldn’t be so easy to acquire and secure, and for this, the visitors would need the assistance and cooperation of the Indonesian government.
It’s not that getting Indonesian government help is difficult, it’s not. It’s no secret that Indonesia is one of the most corrupt countries on the planet, but we’re not talking about the challenge of dealing with corrupt government officials here, but rather, dealing with the “true believers of change”. Convincing the Indonesian government that an Obama presidency will be able to deliver that “change” and that it was in the interest of both countries to see that Barack Obama was elected was nothing more than a fait accompli for Faleomavaega’s entourage.

I wonder of he knows that he will be walking into a pit of highl;y poisonous snakes?
No jaunt in the country this, if he truly means to investigate and not provide a spun cover up.
Perhaps Dick Morris, Odonga's then campaign advisor, might give Jerome a few leads, for a price.
I am curious why American blacks feel “brother” Obama will take care of them when he lets his real brother live in a squalid shack with no bathroom, electricity, and little means of support.
obumpa
Good!
you are much too late Corsi, the cover-up is complete by now.
He better hold book signings when he returns. I want my books signed!
Corsi bump!
