Joe Klein, Time columnist, reports: On January 1, two days before the Iowa caucuses, Obama left a message for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. According to Robert Gibbs, Obama's Communications Director, Rice called back "as we were driving from Sioux City to Council Bluffs on January 1. They talked about the situation and Rice asked Obama to tape a Voice of America message calling for calm." Obama taped the message on January 2, after a rally in Davenport, Iowa.

Klein also reports: In the days since his Iowa victory, Obama has had near-daily conversations with the U.S. Ambassador in Kenya or with opposition leader Raila Odinga. As of late this afternoon, before his rally in Rochester, N.H., Obama was trying to reach Kenyan President Kibaki.

The losing faction has rampaged with rape, arson and murder.

No wonder they are being shut out of power — creatures like that should never be permitted to govern.

My understanding is that Obama is already on good terms with Odinga.
Odinga lost the election.
Odinga is the main cause of the current violence.
Odinga is doing this because he is upset over the election outcome.

So Obama calls him up:

"He called to express grave concern over the election outcome," Lone told The Associated Press.

Muslims are killing Christians in Kenya and Obama calls the instigator and says, "Man, you was robbed! That election was rigged!"

Is that it?

Seems to be a pattern among Democrats or leftists in general. Any election lost by the left musta been rigged.

It’s not unusual for a democrat to demand a recount. What party purportedly won the election, and was there a religious component?

Now he’s a foreign policy expert

[MinuteGal]

Everybody is conducting foreign policy on their own these days. Whee!

Let's just abolish the State Department.

(.....actually, not a bad idea).

[linn37]

Wow he cares he really cares!

[tiger-one]

Which state has Obama offered to their refuges?

[3AngelaD]

We can all feel better now because he can claim to have “foreign policy experience” to add to his long, impressive list of accomplishments.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Obama is telling us, if elected, get ready to dump your tax dollars into African money pits......

[river rat]

Where in the order of things is Obama’s allegiance?

African, Muslim, Black, Christian in a Black Racist church, American, Senator, Democrat, “Unifier”, Stealth candidate for ??????

We know so little about this clown - yet the American left is in love!

Although the population is reportedly somewhere between 10% and 20% Muslim depending upon the source, the Kibaki government has ignored the atrocities committed in the name of Allah; however, also reported is this:

Kenya's Muslims voiced Friday, January 4, their support for defeated opposition candidate Raila Odinga, and called for recounting the votes cast in a hotly disputed presidential elections to stem a vicious cycle of ethnic violence. "The overwhelming majority of Kenyan Muslims have voted for Odinga thanks to his pro-Muslims stances," Abdullah Abdi, the chairman of Kenya's National Muslim Leaders Forum (NMLF), told IslamOnline.

Given Obama's father is Muslim, I would not be surprised if Obama is ok with Islam, not necessarily terrorist, but shares the typical European philosophy that we need to leave them alone and they won't bother us.

see: Raila Odinga, the current frontrunner in the upcoming presidential election in Kenya, has promised to implement strict Islamic Sharia law if he receives the Muslim vote in the predominantly Christian country and is elected president.
