The Kenya Connection
NY Sun ^ | 1/10/2008 | Daniel Johnson

Posted on 01/10/2008 10:29:36 AM PST by sandbox

As he reminded us again after losing narrowly to Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, Barack Obama likes to evoke Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech.

We must all hope that, like King's, Mr. Obama's dream is "deeply rooted in the American dream." But before giving him the keys to the White House, Americans might like to know a little more about the content of Mr. Obama's dream.

Let me propose an unlikely place to start looking: Kenya. Even in the midst of the primaries, the horrific scenes from that country since the disputed election on December 27 will not have escaped most people. In particular, the burning of a church with up to 50 men, women, and children inside, while machete-armed mobs slaughter up to 600 more people, have evoked memories of the Rwandan genocide of 1994.

Who is behind these massacres? The opposition leader, Raila Odinga, has had a good press in the West, after he accused the president, Mwai Kibaki, of rigging the election. But the victims of the recent violence have mostly been members of Mr. Kibaki's tribe, the Kikuyu, while those who have gone berserk are supporters of Mr. Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement, which is dominated by the rival Luo tribe.

The Obama connection to Odinga in Kenya is a very big news story. It is slowly starting to break out into the MSM.

Send both Obama and Hillary on a safari without a guide.

What Obama did in Kenya in 2006 in suporting an abject Islamic radical there, who had agreed to inact Shara law should he win, and who, with his followers broke out in violent rioting, destruction and rape uppoon losing, is grounds for him never being considered for any public office im my humble opinion.

That's who Obama went there and actively supported. Now, how much he knew about the Shara law is not known...but one thing is sure, Obama is not at all related to, resembling, or reminiscent of in either his policies or lifestyle, what most would call the "American Dream".

All Americans should know of it...and any media outlet not looking into it and investigating is not worth its weight in BOvine Excrement...your standard issue Bravo Sierra.

To quote from the end of Johnson's article:
If Mr. Obama did not know about Mr. Odinga's electoral deal with the Kenyan Islamists when he offered his support, then he should have known. If he did know, then he is guilty of lending the prestige of his office to America's enemies in the global war on terror. We need to know exactly what Mr. Obama knew about Mr. Odinga, and precisely when he knew it.

People still do not understand. Odinga is Obamas cousin, his bilogical father was the brother of Odinga's father. Obama campaigned for Odinga in 2006, just before he filed for his presidential candidacy in 2007. Odingas plan is to bring the whole of Kenya under sharia law. All of this documentation is available on line, including the original memorandum of agreement for the Islamification of Kenya. Only 30 per cent of Kenya is Muslim. Obama knew all this when he campaigned for Odinga. I do not believe Obama has any respect for US democracy, at least not to the extent that he would be a decent president. Thousands of US soldiers have died to bring democtacy to the ME and Somalia. Now Obama has been working against that covertly. Now the news is out.

The MSM still will not tell they complete story. This story is damage control.If the truth were exposed. Mr. Obama would be forced to abandon his candidacy.

If you want to see for yourself, its all here. Spend a few minutes going through these links. I was shocked and amazed!

I find the choice of candidates in the upcoming national election nothing short of a national disgrace and an affront to all those that sacrificed to protect and defend this nation. I have no doubt whatsoever that American patriots going back to 1776 through the current conflict(s) are turning in their graves at this outrage. My father, who was a proud veteran of WWII and the Korean War, would be disgusted at these candidates, their tactics, and their obvious quest for power at all costs up to and including our nation’s security and the precarious future of our children and grandchildren. I’m disgusted and can hardly stomach the candidates and their self-serving political games.

Our leaders often have to make strategic alliances with leaders who are scum bags. However, a “Qualified Leader” of the the greatest country in history makes those alliances based on national security and what’s best for his own country. This is very telling and should raise red flags in the intelligence, and home security community.

I simply do not understand how these people of so little character continue to find their way to the WH.

Not even in a perfect world; would they stood a chance.

Rush was just commenting on how Obama is not as clean and pure as the wind driven snow just waltzing onto the scene. Patience...the truth will emerge.

I say turf Obama. We already know enough, this is not an impeachment process, its an election. I have sseen enough to know that Obama used his crowd control charisma in Nairobi to whip the Luo up into a frenzy. The Kenyan government protested what Obama was doing at the time in 2006, they knew war drums when they saw them. Obama responded with calling the Kenyan government "corrupt" which is a shocking thing for a US Senator to do without bringing forward evidence.When Odinga and the Luo lost the campaign and election, Odinga sent them into the streets to "protest" which reesulted in genocide, rape, maimimg and mayhem towarsd the kikuyu in Nairobi and other places. They went on a rampage.

Imagine what Obama might do to America and the World should he become president. I call for Obama to abandon his campaign and his Senate seat. He belongs in the same pantheon as Idi Amin, as far as I am concerned.

Sharia law is absolutely incompatible with our founding ideals and would be correctly perceived as a complete failure in the modern world if we, as we should have done long ago, took the oil weapon out of Islamist hands.

Thank you very much for the most informative extract. It is good to know that the discrimination of which I learned over 45 years ago, and as to which the details were faded, was as spotty as this work indicates.

I absolutely agree with you.

And what an honor it is for your father to have served in both WWII and the Korean Wars. How lucky can America get.

The best thing for Republicans would be for Obama and Hillary to duke it out for as long as possible in the primary season...so they drag out as much dirt as they can on each other. For now, the Republicans are better off if they just stay out of the way and let Obama and Hillary sling mud at each other...
