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.
---SNIP--
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.

Mr Obama has previously been identified as a distant cousin of Vice-President Dick Cheney.So Obama is part of the Cheney family? That explains what is going on.

I heard obama's low class remarks about him being a distant relative of Vice President Cheney.
Yo, obama. The Man has more class on the sole of his boot than you possess.

Oh, I think Muslims all know that Obama’s on their side. I think he is a Muslim, personally, but I think he’s doing the lie-to-the-infidel thing, so he’s never going to admit it. And his “church” is not a Christian church, but simply a lefty African nationalist hangout, so there’s really nothing for Muslims to object to.

I haven’t heard of this. How is he supposed to be related? Is his mother’s Kansas family somehow connected with the Cheney’s?

Ok so I was enjoying some adult beverages with some friends and one asked “Is Obama the anti-christ?” Stopped me cold. I have not studied the AC that much and I know many here have. There was a rumor that the AC had been born and lived in the FE. Does Obama’s time in the South Pacific qualify?

In 2006 Obama took a trip to Kenya and voiced his support for his fellow tribesman and political ally, Odinga.
Obama also directly attacked the sitting Kenyan leadership (Kibaki) calling them ‘corrupt’ (Kenya is one of the most stable places in Africa).
Odinga is the cat that ran on the socialist democrat ticket in Kenya and lost to sitting president Kibaki.
The people that are burning christians alive, trapped inside churches are Odinga supporters...Odinga (and most of his fanatical followers) are a Muslims who have pushed for Sharia Law, total banning of other religions and closing of co-ed schools, night clubs and ‘public dressing style considered immoral’.

This came in e-mail today as speculation and some biography ... his apparent refusal to salute the flag and join in the Pledge of Allegiance add a bit of substance to this e-mail, IMOHO.
Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita, Kansas.
Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya.
His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia.
Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.
Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."
Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.
Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking Major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.
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)
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out. What better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!
Would you want this man leading our country?...... NOT ME!!

This is certainly troubling.
I’ve been speculating for months why no one has issued a Fatwah condemning his apostasy, as they have with other prominent figures.
Apparently it’s an open secret. He was openly complicit with the Muslim church burnings and killings in Kenya, yet our traitorous press says nothing.
