“Obama’s Luo tribal “cousin” Odinga (for whom Obama directly campaigned and raised money for in violation of US law) is President of Kenya.”

Very convenient of you to insert “cousin”? Why don’t we say “kin”? Obama the President is not a member of the Luo tribe, the President’s father was. I’d suggest for you to review your books on cultural anthropology. Please tell me where I can find the link/s (credible sites please) accusing and finding guilty the President for campaigning and raising money for the Kenyan President in violation of US law? By the way Mwai Kibaki is the President of Kenya. Raila Odinga is the Prime Minister.

“The US State Dept has currently banned a dozen Kenya government officials from obtaining US visas due to rampant corruption.”...

I’ve come accross reading one (1)Kenyan gov’t official being denied visa to the US due to his records on human rights violations. Please tell me the link/s to the “dozen Kenyan gov’t officals being denied visas for rampant corruption.”

“The national police chief was fired the week after Lucas Smith went public with his BC and CPGH records have been reportedly impounded”....Ahah! this one came from a very reliable source...JEROME CORSI, Right?

“and all Obama relatives have declined all interviews under instructions from the Obama team.”...Link/s Please! I want to verify this! Thanks!

You are correct, but that is totally besides the point. Odinga is Prime Minister after coming in a close second in the presidential campaign in which Obama assisted him. Obama is of Luo descent. Last time I checked, you don't lose tribal identity by changing citizenship. As Prime Minister, a position he got by blackmaining the President by having his followers riot after the election loss, Odinga is in a position to influence whether Lucas Smith's CPGH BC is authenticated.

On corrupt Kenyan politicians, yes, just one was annouced recently as being denied a visa, but he was added to a “long list” of Kenyans:

Published: Thursday, March 19, 2009

“Nairobi, Kenya - The United States said on Tuesday it had added another prominent Kenyan official on its list of those permanently banned from traveling to the US over their engagement in official corruption and the ban was extended to the entire family.

“US ambassador to Kenya Michael Ranneberger said the US had a new addition to its growing list of officials permanently barred from seeking or obtaining an American visa for engaging in corruption in high places.

“’We are continuing to monitor the situation in Kenya, including collecting infor mation on acts of corruption engaged in by public officials,’ the US envoy said at a news conference to announce the latest step, which, he said, was just one among weapons.”

I got the story about the Kenya Police Chief from the BBC, but here is the Time version:

“The symbolism was impossible to ignore. Last Tuesday, Sept. 8, the chief of the Kenyan police — tainted by accusations that since he took charge, around the time of Kenya's presidential election in 2007, his men had waged a campaign of illegal killings — was fired and put in charge of the postal service. His deputy, meanwhile, was quite literally put out to pasture, with a new job at the Ministry of Livestock.

“Could this be the first cannon shot in the Kenyan government's long-promised war against corruption and impunity in the police force?”

As to Obama’s Kenya relatives refusing to comment on Obama’s place of birth and saying they have been told not to discuss this, there are too many such reports. You can look those up yourself.
