ouch. you called me stupid. (insert frowny face)
Interesting, but there are plenty of reasons not to vote for Barack without trying to connect his family to commies.
My family has plenty of shady characters in it...but I’m a pretty trustworthy person. :)
Raila Odinga is indeed Obama’s first cousin. Raila Odinga is the son of Barack Hussein Obama Seniors sister, Auma. That makes Raila a direct first cousin of Obama and nephew of Obama’s father.
Obama himself is connected to the Commies. A known Communist and agent of Stalin (Frank Marshall) helped Obama form his “identity,” advised him on his career choices, and advised him not to “sell out” upon entering Occidental College. Obama’s cousin, Raila Odinga, studied in SOVIET EAST GERMANY, named his son after Fidel Castro, wants to impose Sharia Law on Kenya, and Obama supported this scumbag for President of Kenya! Now we find out Raila Odinga’s father took orders from the Soviets and Red Chinese, and attempted to overthrow the government of Kenya, just as his Islamo-Commie son is attempting to do right now. These are the unsavory characters Obama is supporting right now in Kenya, and this should give you a taste of what his foreign policy will look like, should he get elected. I have never beheld a scarier candidate in my lifetime. And looking back, I'm not sure a scarier candidate (read Manchurian Candidate) has ever run for the highest office in our land. I suggest you go back, read the article again, and then carefully read the comments to fit this bombshell into its proper context. All the best—GGG
Ha!
Who was peddling that nonsense to you. Raila Odinga was born in 1945 and Auma Obama is a few years older than Barack Obama. So it is physically impossible for Raila to be born of Auma.
Auma lives in Reading, England and was married to a British man. (Raila doesn’t look like the son of a British man!). She had a 9 year old daughter in 2006.

This is not about his blood relationship but rather about his support for the radical leader.
Blood relationships can also be scrutinised fairly in the case of favoritism, nepotism, corruption etc. For example Hillary's brother shopping for pardons from Bill. Not that I would advocate for a stiffer punishmnet because he was a relative, but I would look twice the next time anyone of her relatives got anywhere near the power levers.
Oginga Odinga, politically backed by Obama, uses the Revenue Authorities to promote and install Communism in Africa.
Excerpt:
And in Kenya, despite an African "cabinet", the British authorties' ban on our magazine still persists - we hope not for much longer. Mr. Oginga Odinga, M.L.C., writes "with very best wishes" from Nairobi, that "you will be informed as soon as the prohibition of The African Communist is lifted in Kenya".
