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.
Saif el-Islam Gadhafi, the Libyan strongman's second oldest son, reportedly donated 53,450,000 Kenyan schillings, about $765,000.
According to several highly credible ex-ODM sources WND interviewed in Kenya, the $950,000 raised for Odinga's campaign came from a series of private meetings arranged for Odinga by Mark Lippert, a foreign policy adviser in Obama's U.S. Senate office. The meetings with top-dollar Obama fundraisers and donors took place during Odinga's 2006 trip to the U.S.

What the article indicated is 66,000,000 (Kenyan) is equivalent to about 1mm US.
new around here lol
No. That’s all I have.
Just some guy reporting that he saw it on the lawyer’s site.
(I looked for it and couldn’t find it)
It said Friends of Senator of BO.
Whoever that is. I don’t think BO has 1mm lying around but he can get friends who do have money to pony up - you wanna play you gotta pay. Far as I’m concerned it’s all connected.
A lot of Freepers picked these emails apart and saw a lot of problems with them. I have a feeling this is what happened.
They ignored millions of phone calls about the bailout, didn’t they. Why should this be any different.
McCain will not fight tonight for us. He still believes it is all about him and it is not....It is about the very life we live and he still wants to be civil. Sarah has more balls than McCain ever hoped to have. Makes me wonder if he didn’t indeed kiss asses in Vietnam cause he sure likes to kiss the ass of the enemy (liberals).
