NEW YORK –Sen. Barack Obama, with a donation of nearly $1 million, and a son of Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi were among the biggest contributors to the presidential campaign of controversial Kenyan leader Raila Odinga, according to an internal document obtained by WND.

The memo was prepared by the head of Odinga's campaign finance accounting section, Shakeel Shabbir, as an official report delivered to the national treasurer for Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement party, or ODM.

Among the 72 individuals and organizations that contributed money to Odinga's 2007 presidential run in Kenya, Shabbir lists "Friends of Senator B.O." as having donated 66,000,000 Kenyan schillings, about $950,000.

This gets scarier every day. He’ll follow this report up with a double talk press conference which will undoubtedly be accepted by the media and the lemmings.

McCain needs to say: “I wouldn’t sit down with Odinga without serious preconditions.”

BTTT...If this very real story is not reported by Fox before this election ends...we will all know something very profound about them ...and frankly, it makes me sick.

Hmmm. I didn’t realize that Odinga, who is also Obama’s cousin, visited Obama 3 times in the US (2204, 2005, 2006).

"McCain needs to say: “I wouldn’t sit down with Odinga without serious preconditions.”

Don't forget to add..."even if he is my cousin"

Why doesn't anyone just ask Obama straight up, “did you give money for a foreign election?”. We don't allow foreigners to give money and try to influence our elections and I'm sure the American people wouldn't accept it vice-versa.

FOX will, but that's it. Obama is a trainwreck in the making.

Sen. Barack Obama, with a donation of nearly $1 million

Read the article and the donor link. He did no such thing. An adviser in his office got Obama donors to make donations. Obama himself did not donate. Yes, its sleazy, yes its a scandal, but BS headlines like this that can be easily disproven only hurt the cause.

It kinda feels like there has been a steady progressive coup, and now that we are in the last 3 weeks, its morphing into an outright putsch, causing us to mostly be bystanders while we witness our country stolen by thugs, marxists, communists, and a power-hungry hungarian with too much money and the knowledge how to break a country.

"He did no such thing."

Of course he didn't. Bambi doesn't use his own money. It's easier to get other folks to shell out the green stuff. The question is, what did Bambi promise those people who donated? They didn't give out of the kindness of their heart.
