That 2006 trip by Obama as a senator to Kenya was foreplanning on his part for his presidential run. He did it to get his friend Odinga to lock down his records in Kenya. For $1M and some illegal foreign campaigning for Odinga, who was opposing the U.S. backed candidate, he was able get Odinga to airbrush his Kenyan past. However, because of the way things operate in third world countries, it may not have been as successful as Obama thought it would be. Also, when Odinga lost and fomented civil unrest, killing Christians and generally ransacking the country, Obama got a little concerned that the thug he conspired with was too radical and it might cause damage to his prospects. He then had to intercede again to simmer down his out of control accomplice by forcing the winner to share power with Odinga. This is a real example of Chicago thuggery at work and the heavy price paid in peoples’ lives just so Obama can continue his charade on America.
