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.

You say Odinga, I say Obama....

Interesting that Obama should sidle up to the agitator aligned with Islam.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If only more people knew the whole truth. Odinga is an Islamofascist, and his platform was to bring ALL of Kenya under Sharia law.Obama actively campaigned for Odinga in 2006, knowing all this.
And people insist Obama is not Muslim? Obama is a stone cold Islamofascist supporter, and is partially responsible for the Luo riots that recently happened in Nairobi, and the murder, and rape, and maimings that happened there because Odinga lost the election.His support of Odinga made Odinga more popular than he otherwise would have been. Both Odinga and Obama are Luo tribesmen.Most Luos are Muslim.

Atta Go Fred. I'd say together we probably reached a thousand people or so. Then it gets exponential. Thanks for the excellent work.
I plan to keep pegging over the next week or so.

Not to worry! This is just part of his effort to bring us all together--change, don't you know? I don't believe I want any of it.

Once a jolly swagman, camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a koolabah tree
He waited and he watched, and rummaged through his tucker bag,
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda wi' me.
( and thats from memory...I am originally a Canuck)
We will waltz them into knowledge. Its actually a bit of fun.

That email was floating all over NH yesterday and may be one of the reasons for Barry’s late fade. Probably sent out by the Clinton camp.

"Are Obamas parents still alive and are there any pictures of them?"
His parents are deceased. Barack Hussein OBAMA Sr. and Shirley Ann DUNHAM were married in 1960 in Hawaii Shirley Ann DUNHAM was born on 27 November 1942 in Wichita, Kansas and died in 1995 of ovarian cancer. It was my understanding that Barack Hussein OBAMA Sr. died when Barack OBAMA Jr. was in his early twenties. His mother's parents, who in part raised him were/are, Stanley Armour DUNHAM was born on 23 March 1918 in Kansas and died 8 February 1992 in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is buried in Punchbowl National Cemetery, Honolulu, Hawaii. Madelyn Lee PAYNE was born about 1922 in Wichita, Kansas. She currently lives in Oahu, Hawaii.

I would rather she went home to Illinois. Bill could sell used cars from her gas station.

"Some folks here were scared of Hillary, but I think Obama is much, much scarier".
I agree, no matter how hard that is to admit.

I can’t even believe we are having this conversation. This guy is an apparition.
Barack Hussein Obama appeared out of nowhere, created nothing and is poised to take over everything.
Surreal.
