Mr Odinga told the BBC's The World Today that Senator Obama's father was his maternal uncle.
Mr Obama's father - a Kenyan also called Barack - met and married his American mother when they were students at the university of Hawaii.
Mr Obama has previously been identified as a distant cousin of Vice-President Dick Cheney.
Mr Obama's father came from the same Luo community as Mr Odinga.

He said Mr Obama had on Monday taken time out of campaigning for the New Hampshire primary to call him twice, to express his concern, and to say that he would also be calling Mr Kibaki.

The key is “would give him power.” I wonder if Obama realizes how prejudiced the Muslims are towards blacks???? Read Hirsi Ali’s book “Infidel” and you’ll see as a Somalian what she experienced while living in Saudi Arabia.

ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Kuran (Their equivalency to our Bible, but very different beliefs)This is not accurate. The openly muslim congressman, Keith Ellison from Minnesota was the only person who swore his oath of office on a koran.
To: Cicero
Sorry, I don’t think that. Muslims do. And a fair number of FReepers, too.
Which gets back to the question, why aren’t angry Muslims issuing Fatwahs against him for joining a Christian church? Or do they know something?
Who knows? The easiest answer might be that they don't actually consider him a Muslim.

Have you ever seen a Democrat presidential candidate that didn't have to do the lie to the infidel thing? You're just singling him out!
