When Raila Odinga LOST THE ELECTION, he called for riots in Kenya. The victors of the election eventually gave in to Raila Odinga -- to prevent the bloodshed that was covering the country of Kenya as machete followers of Raila Odinga decided to try to convince people -- using their machetes -- against the opposition. One must wonder what Obama will do if he loses the election.
