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.

We are waiting for the Clinton police to drop this bomb.
Hillary must know this, too.

“An American Expat in Southeast Asia blog, written by an American who has lived in Indonesia for 20 years and has met with both the Taliban and al-Qaeda, contains the following:
“Barack Hussein Obama might have convinced some Americans that he is no longer a Muslim, but so far he has not convinced many in the world’s most populous Muslim country who still see him as a Muslim and a crusader for Islam and world peace.”
“Barack Hussein Obama’s race, his staunch opposition to the war in Iraq, his sympathy to Islam and Muslims worldwide and his Muslim heritage receive the Indonesian media coverage. There is no mention of his apostasy.”
“A good example of how some of the Indonesian media is reporting on Obama’s religion can be found in the following.”
“Ayah kandung Obama disebut-sebut seorang Muslim, dan Barack Obama juga disebutkan pernah memeluk Islam. Setalah tinggal di AS dan diasuh neneknya, Obama mengaku telah memeluk Kristen. Masalah agama apa yang sekarang dianut Obama, itu adalah prinsip dirinya yang harus dihormati siapapun. Dan hanya Obama sendiri yang tahu dan akan mempertanggungjawabkan di hadapan Tuhan yang diyakininya.”
“begin my translation...”
“Obama’s father was mentioned to be a Muslim and Barack Obama had embraced Islam. After living in the USA and being taken care of by his grandmother, Obama claimed to embrace Christianity. The problem with religion and what is now followed by Obama is a principal he himself must honor. And only Obama personally will account before God for his beliefs.”
“What I found interesting in the article was the use of the word ‘mengaku’ when refering to Obama’s conversion from Islam to Christianity. The word ‘mengaku’ in Indonesian means “claimed” and as such leaves the insinuation to the native Indonesian reader being that Obama might actually still be a Muslim. But this is how Indonesians see Obama, they don’t see him as an apostate at all, they see him as a crusader for the cause of Islam.”
Now that I actually read what’s going on, I gotta say this scares the crap out of me.
OBAMA CROTCH SALUTE?
Obama, Hillary and Bill Richardson attended the Steak Fry of Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) in Indianola, IA, where Obama disrespected the National Anthem.
Richardson and Clinton have their hands on their heart, but not Obama who plays with his crotch. Does he perhaps believe that, like wearing the flag pin, the hand on the heart isn't "true patriotism" or is that the Muslim salute?
Kenya's Odinga Declares Obama His Cousin as PeaceTalks Called Off
The past 48 hours offered signs of hope and progress towards a resolution to the crisis in Kenya. Today saw a big step backwards.
Kenya’s opposition leader, Raila Odinga rejected talks with the president on Tuesday, describing an invitation to meet as “public relations gimmickry.” Just two days ago, Odinga indicated he was open to talks. What caused the change in heart from Odinga?
Kenya’s president named half his Cabinet Tuesday, angering opposition leaders who accuse him of stealing the recent election.
Then came word that Presidential candidate Barack Obama phoned Odinga “to express grave concern over the election outcome,” Odinga’s spokesman Salim Lone said. Obama’s father was from Kenya.
International efforts remain underway to find a way to end the stalemate between the two sides with the arrival of the African Union Chairman John Kufuor. In an odd twist, Odinga also announced the Obama was his cousin.
lol
OBAMA CROTCH SALUTE?
Next thing we know, Obama will be sending in Jimmy Carter to straighten it all out.
Good grief.
Luo
Obama’s father was a black African from the Luo tribe of Kenya.

Thank You.
Obama gets adoration for only one thing.
Mr Odinga told the BBC’s The World Today that Senator Obama’s father was his maternal uncle.
I think he’s just a HOMIE...........
Waddup, Bruh?
So it is true to say Obama is a first cousin, once removed, of “Fidel Castro.” That line should be worth some votes in Florida.
Thanks!
Thanks george76. If Kenya’s Moslem-led massacres continue, it’ll really mess up Hillary’s campaign. She literally can’t say anything against him due to a little problem with a certain constituency.
My guess is, she’ll wind up running a gas station in Arkansas.
LOL!!!
Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled pepper,
a pack of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled pepper,
where’s the pack of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked?
Odinga says Obama is his cousin. O-SH*T
aloha kakou
Both of Obama’s parents are dead. I don’t know about his maternal grandparents—if they were still alive I would assume they would have been interviewed or something, so they are probably deceased.
