Per Wiki re: Orengo:
“As of 2007 he is still the SDP chairman. The party supported Raila Odinga of Orange Democratic Movement at the 2007 general elections.[1]”
Interesting! In 2007 Orengo supported Obama’s Loa tribal cousin (real cousin, distant or non-cousin depending on who is asked).
Could this be a signal of some kind from Odinga to Obama delivered through Orengo? Perhaps a signal that “We can embarrass you Obama and even threaten your presidency!”
If Odinga and Orengo are attempting to blackmail Obama the “accidental” Kenya birth reference could be a demand that Obama stop doing something, perhaps stop interfering in Kenya politics in a way that is aiding their enemies.
Or perhaps the Kenya birth reference is a veiled demand that Obama stop refusing to do something such as paying them off or refusing to help Odinga gain the top job in Kenya.
Orengo seem to be the sort who should have almost certainly gotten the word to keep quiet about Obama’s Kenyan birth, so I am very suspicious that this “gaff” (accidentally making a true statement) may have been intentional.
Obama and his administration have made frequent visits to Africa and Kenya. Sofar, Emanuel, Hillary, Panneta, and Obama have made trip in the last year and half. He does keep in touch.
Watch the interaction between the two countries and the news out of Kenya. It could provide a clue.
Interesting. It was certainly an official statement of record, not just some off the cuff spontaneous comment. So there very well may have been a specific purpose behind it.
Excellent point. We should watch closely what Obama does in the coming weeks in regards to Kenya. They are probably going to get some ‘US Aid’ very soon.
