I don't know where you get your facts, but as you said, the Obamas were cousins to the Odingas. Blood relationships would be paramount for upward socioeconomic mobility in a tribal based society.

Now, unless the Obama family had some connections, there would be no way that benefactor Elizabeth Mooney Kirk's path would have crossed with Obama's. The idea of a Kenyan youth being sent off to study at an American university would have been a pipe dream to the average Kenyan family at the time.

On the contrary, you do know where I get my facts, since I linked them.

So, everyone of the Kenyans on those airlifts were politically connected? Great theory.

Where are your facts?
