Where Hope Finally Made a Comeback.
Obama's Militant Muslim Brother Abongo Is Luo Activist
Nothing to see here, move along.
Arguably the most colorful presidential sibling of my lifetime, Billy Carter became well known to the American public as Jimmy Carter’s beer-drinking brother. In similar fashion, Roger Clinton gained notoriety as Bill Clinton’s drug-abusing, ex-con brother. Now, another politician’s sibling stands on the verge of capturing the nation’s attention.
Unlike Billy Carter or Roger Clinton, Abongo “Roy” Obama will likely attract attention as First Brother for reasons other than his personal addictions if Barack Hussein Obama wins election in 2008 as the nation’s 44th president.
According to Investor’s Business Daily reports (see here and here), the older half-brother of the upstart Democrat presidential candidate is a militant Muslim activist in Kenya who has urged his younger brother to embrace his African heritage and supports implementation of Sharia law in a country that, until recently, has been regarded as among the most pro-Western and modern African nations.-by BMCWrites |
Obama’s way to white in that photo. In fact, he’s probably at least 50% a “typical white person”, including retrograde hate.
Even though you know this already.
It’s really great due to Obama’s book. He stated he had never been prouder than when his brother converted to Islam and stopped drinking and eating pork (wedding setting).
ABONGO (ROY) OBAMA
‘Certainly the older brother’
September 9, 2007
BY SCOTT FORNEK Political Editor
The way Barack Obama describes his oldest half-brother in his book, Abongo (Roy) Obama inherited their father’s hard-drinking ways but straightened his life out by embracing Islam and his African heritage.
Abongo Obama began using his Luo tribal first name and had sworn off pork, smoking and drinking by the time of his younger brother’s 1992 wedding.
“Abongo’s new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed, and at the wedding, he looked so dignified in his black African gown with white trim and matching cap that some of our guests mistook him for my father,” Obama wrote in Dreams From My Father.
Yeah, yeah, Billy Carter was a drunk, Roger Clinton was a dope addict, siblings mean noth....Hey wait a minute!
That photos racist
I’d like to see someone hand this moo moo SOB a ham sandwich and see what happens.
Obama “Proud” of Militant Muslim Brother
February 27, 2008 · No Comments
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is proud of his brother, Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama, who converted to Islam from Christianity. Sounds innocent enough if you read the Examiner.com article about Obama’s ties to his African family and their mixed religious backgrounds.
Here’s what the Examiner (D.C.) reported on Jan. 29, 2007 about Obama’s affection for brother, Roy:
“‘The person who made me proudest of all,’ Obama wrote, ‘was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol.’”
Now, piece that together with a Jan. 15, 2008 report from Investor’s Business Daily (that appears nearly a year after the Examiner.com article) which introduces us to the real Roy, and you’ll see why there’s reason to question Obama’s brotherly love for his militant Muslim brother.
“Obama has close family ties to Kenya, and even founded a school in his ancestral village — the Senator Obama School.
“In the bloody conflict there, which already has claimed some 700 lives, Obama appears to have sided with opposition leader Raila Odinga, head of the same Luo tribe to which Obama’s late Muslim father belonged.
“Obama’s older brother still lives there. Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must ‘liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.’ He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.
Beyond family politics, these ties have potential foreign policy, even national security, implications.”
The story remains untold to what extent Obama is committed to embracing his African heritage and supporting the militant activities of his brother, Roy, or the anti-Christian declarations of Raila Odinga, who claims to be his cousin. I think we already have a good idea about the leanings of his wife, Michelle, as evidenced by her tolerance for “white oppressors.”
If you think Hillary was the brains behind Bill in the White House, then just imagine the brilliant ideas Michelle has in store for her husband, Barack, to unleash on America. I’m guessing that she’s thinking, “It’s payback time!” And, maybe that’s a notion embraced by the entire Obama family.
Barack Obama on a roll. What do his relatives think? Back in Kenya, CNN’s Paula Newton pays a visit.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
PAULA NEWTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: To get to the Obama family farm we traveled across the equator, through some of Kenya’s most remote villages, left at the Growl (ph) road that turns to the Senator Obama school, up the dusty hill, and over potholes like you’ve never seen, not even in New Hampshire. And right on to the Obama homestead.
Hello. Hello. I’m Paula Newton with CNN. This is Mama Sarah, Barack Obama’s granny, as he calls her. This is where his father was born and grew up, and where 83-year-old Mama Sarah still lives. We interrupted your work today.
As her grandson is busy bringing in the votes, she’s bringing in the crops. Preparing feed for the livestock. But it doesn’t keep her from campaigning. What would you tell the American people about Barack to convince them to vote for him? In her native language, she says, he’s a good listener, and if he’s given a chance, he will work hard for America.
What do you think of Hillary Clinton? This is a contest, she says, diplomatically, but the best man or woman win. When was this picture taken?
SAID OBAMA, BARACK OBAMA’S UNCLE: This was taken in 1987.
NEWTON: Barack’s uncle, he shows us a photo of his nephew’s first visit to his Kenyan ancestral home just after his father died. Barack Hussein Obama is buried here. Mama Sarah says he would be heartbroken to see Kenya now. The Obamas say they don’t recognize the Kenya of the past few days. The bloodshed, despair and desperate need triggered by the disputed election. The Obama school hasn’t even been able to open this year because of the clashes.
OBAMA: Expected Kenya to be a beacon of open hope in this region, but again, politicians are politicians.
NEWTON: Though, he insists Barack Obama is different, humble like no other, he says, and that’s because of his Kenyan ancestry right down to this farm. Paula Newton CNN, Nyangoma-Kogelo, Kenya.
Abongo? What is his younger brother called, Tubongos?

The Soviet Union collapsed, but Marxists did not disappear. For example, the Castro brothers still run Cuba, Daniel Ortega is back in charge of Nicaragua and African Marxists are vying for power in their homelands.
Unsurprisingly, Marxists from Africa to the Americas are lauding young Barack Obama as their “agent of change.”
In Kenya, Raila Odinga, Barack’s cousin, just secured the prime ministership after violent protests of the re-election of his rival, President Kibaki, in a disputed race with Odinga that suggest that Virginia Governor and current Richmond, Virginia Mayor Doug Wilder’s warning of rioting if Democrat superdelegates don’t rubberstamp Barack should be taken seriously.
The New York Times: “Rono Kibet, an [Odinga] supporter who less than two months ago was burning down the houses of members of Mr. Kibaki’s ethnic group, said: ‘We will now stop the fighting. The agreement is very good.’”
“Good” from the perspective of that reported arsonist!
A source familiar with Kenyan politics warns Americans to look into Barack’s Kenyan connections before they leap:
“—Raila Odinga is of the Luo tribe to which Obama’s late African-Arab Muslim father belonged. Obama’s older brother still lives there; Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama is a Luo activist and militant Muslim who argues that the black man must liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture. He urges his younger brother, Barack, to embrace his African heritage. Barack Obama has a Kenyan grandmother [my note: according to Kenyan usage, not a biological grandmother] and several African brothers and sisters as well.
“—Raila Odinga is Barack Obama’s cousin.... Listen to Odinga interview with BBC reporter:news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7176683.stm
“—Obama interrupted his New Hampshire campaigning to speak by phone with Odinga, and he did not speak with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki. Would Obama put African tribal or family interests ahead of U.S. interests? (Investors Business Daily).
“—Odinga explained to another reporter that Obama would call him up to three times a day to check on the election in Kenya. It was controversial, you see. Raila Odinga is a Marxist, and he wants to make a majority Christian Kenya embrace Islamic customs: he wants Sharia law, and he made a pact with an Islamic hard-line group (their terrorist group name is on the Internet) to enforce this law as they see fit. Odinga wants to establish Sharia courts throughout the country; vows to ban booze, pork, and impose Muslim dress codes on women—moves highly favored by Barack Obama’s older brother, Abongo ‘Roy.’
“—Odinga claimed the election was rigged when he lost, then there were riots and a sort of civil war, but it was the Christians who were getting killed by the Muslims. Christians were burned alive in churches and they were macheted in the streets. It is reported that 1,000 people were killed when all was said and done. Right now, Odinga is claiming the presidency and fighting to be sole president, and in a diplomatic effort, the powers that be allowed him to be co-president until the election is figured out.
“—Odinga also had an interesting political strategist help with his campaign, an American, who used to be a campaign employee of Bill Clinton’s. It is the first time that an American poitical strategist has worked on any Kenyan campaign. Recommended by Barack Obama? [Note: That strategist is Dick Morris. Ask him!}
“—Raila Odinga’s official presidential website is similar to Barack Obama’s, and Odinga’s main campaign message and slogan is: CHANGE. Vote for Change. Agent of Change. Look at his website: http://www.raila07.com/
“Furthermore, Raila Odinga has close ties to an oil big shot: Sheik Abdullahi Abdi (oil $) chairs NAMLEF (National Muslim Leaders Forum) which Odinga signed a then secret pact with. (The document is actually available online.) This man has connections to Libyan socialist leader Muammar al-Gaddafi, who financially backed and supported Raila Odinga’s campaign.
“—Also, Raila Odinga was educated in communist E. Germany, and his father Oginga Odinga led the communist opposition during the Cold War.
“—With al-Qaida strengthening its beachheads in Africa—from Algeria to Sudan to Somalia—the last thing the West needs is for pro-Western Kenya to fall into the hands of Islamic extremists.”
The Castro brothers aren’t the only Marxists in the Americas rooting for Barack.
This year International Herald Tribune celebrated Valentine’s Day by published an AP article reporting the delight of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega with the Obama campaign.
AP:
“MANAGUA, Nicaragua: President Daniel Ortega, who led the 1979 revolution in Nicaragua, says Barack Obama’s presidential bid is a ‘revolutionary’ phenomenon in the United States.
“’It’s not to say that there is already a revolution under way in the U.S. ... but yes, they are laying the foundations for a revolutionary change,’ the Sandinista leader said Wednesday night as he accepted an honorary doctorate from an engineering university.
“Ortega led a Soviet-backed government that battled U.S.-supported Contra rebels before he lost power in a 1990 election. He returned to office last year via the ballot box.
“In statements broadcast on Sandinista Radio La Primerisima, Ortega said he has ‘faith in God and in the North American people, and above all in the youth, that the moment of great change in the U.S. will come and it will act differently, with justice and equality toward all nations.’”
“—Raila Odinga’s official presidential website is similar to Barack Obama’s, and Odinga’s main campaign message and slogan is: CHANGE. Vote for Change. Agent of Change. Look at his website: http://www.raila07.com/

Obama Odinga Atlas sighting
Good article in The Sun on the Obama/Odinga alliance. Discussed all the things I have been talking about at Atlas. The blogosphere will change the direction of the national dialogue to address the real issues despite big media’s abdication of its role as public servant.

The Kenya Connection Daniel Johnson
What, you will be asking by now, what does any of this have to do with Barack Obama? Well, Mr. Obama’s father came from Kenya and his son is proud to call himself a Luo. His Kenyan relations boast that, even if they cannot get a Luo into the Kenyan presidential residence, they can look forward to a Luo in the White House.
Indeed, the connection may be even closer than a tribal one. Mr. Odinga even claims that Mr. Obama is his cousin, because the senator’s father was Mr. Odinga’s maternal uncle. Whether or not this true, the two men are friends and political allies.
In August 2006, Mr. Obama visited Kenya and spoke in support of Mr. Odinga’s candidacy at rallies in Nairobi. The Web site Atlas Shrugs has even posted a photograph of the two men side by side. More recently, Mr. Odinga says that Mr. Obama interrupted his campaigning in New Hampshire to have a telephone conversation with his African cousin about the constitutional crisis in Kenya.
What should Americans make of Mr. Obama’s Kenyan connection? If he has been putting tribal or family considerations above America’s national interest by supporting Mr. Odinga’s anti-Western candidacy, it raises serious questions about his judgement.
What should Americans make of Mr. Obama’s Kenyan connection? If he has been putting tribal or family considerations above America’s national interest by supporting Mr. Odinga’s anti-Western candidacy, it raises serious questions about his judgement.
At the time of his visit in 2006, President Kibaki’s spokesman complained that Mr. Obama was behaving like a “stooge” of Mr. Odinga — which was at best undignified for a visiting American senator, and at worst unwarranted interference in the internal politics of another country.
Even more serious are the doubts raised by Mr. Obama’s attitude toward Islam, which has so far received much less scrutiny than might be expected in a post-September 11 presidential election.
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.
And Melanie Phillips cites Atlas over at The Spectator: Kenyan Jihad,
A sizable, largely poor Muslim population concentrated along the coast — and proximity to the volatile states in the Horn of Africa, including Somalia and Sudan — have made Kenya especially vulnerable, in the views of counterterrorism experts, to the call for jihad. Since the early 1990s, the mosques of Mombasa and other towns have resonated with militant Islamic rhetoric. Radical imams have preached violence against Westerners, attacked the Kenyan government as the lackey of the United States and Israel and called for the implementation of Shariah. Members of the Qaeda cells that blew up the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Aug. 7, 1998, were recruited in mosques near the Indian Ocean beaches where hundreds of thousands of Western tourists flock each year.
Apart from that, I have found plenty of worthy hand-wringing in the mainstream media about tribal violence between equally bloodthirsty Kenyan sectarian groups, but diddly squat about the Kenyan jihad and the remorseless creation of Africastan.
And now look at this on Atlas Shrugs which, after railing at the media for failing to report what is actually going on in Kenya, makes the following claim:
Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a ‘close personal friendship’ with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior.When Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi: Obama’s bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila’s ‘stooge.’
Oh dear. Maybe this is what Obama means by being the candidate of ‘change’.
