I thought that was what you were asking about. I went back to your post #218 & re-read your quote & now realize you quoted a different document — Parliamentary Debates from Nov 2008. Obama is mentioned 61 times in the 20 pages of the transcript.
I think he is talking about the violence “problem.” In the sentences previous to your quote he says:
There are parties in Paris, London and even in a place called Obama in Japan. I think we have a right to celebrate. As we do, as you said from the Chair, this is a sovereign country. We know we can learn a lot.
To be able to support that blood relation, I think we owe it to ourselves to make sure that we have a peaceful country as Kenyans; a country that will uphold the true principles of the rule of law, democracy and tolerance between ourselves. At the beginning of this year, Senator Barrack Obama called me at midnight and told me: “Mr. Vice President, could you make sure you sort out this problem?” I want to assure him that the problem has since been sorted out.
It still doesn’t really make sense that he was talking about the violence in Kenya, because it started in December of 2007 and ended in April 2008....LONG BEFORE OBAMA EVEN WON THE 08 election. At least that’s what I gather from a quick wiki read. If it was in reference to the violence... Why would Obama be talking about ‘sorting out a problem’ that had already been sorted out?

disregard my post...lol. I forgot he was discussing something that happened at the beginning of 08. Never mind. My mind is not very focused tonight. Too much going on.
