Barack Obama directly intervened in last December's presidential election in Kenya, supporting fellow Luo tribesman Raila Odinga's candidacy, despite an agreement Odinga signed to back radical Muslims, according to an explosive new book written by WND senior staff reporter Jerome R. Corsi.
In "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," Corsi footnotes and discusses two television news videos that fully document his charges.
The first video shows Obama's direct involvement in Kenyan politics to support Odinga, and the second video shows a press conference held by the Muslims who signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Odinga.
"There is nothing on the record to indicate Obama ever withdrew his support from Odinga," Corsi told WND, "even after Odinga signed the agreement with the Muslims in Kenya."
Corsi said that to the contrary, Obama "appears even today to be a direct and active supporter of Odinga, as Odinga himself frequently boasts."

Hannitys radio show, according to Corsi, he has tapes of Obama campaigning for Odinga! Let it begin!!! HOOOOOAAAH
Theres oil in America, but dipsticks in D.C.
You know what! I bet Memri would have them. I’ll go check.
Now now now now, hold on a second here. This isn't the Odinga I thought I knew. Raila, it's now your turn to get under my bus.....
I can’t find anything on Odinga on MEMRI.
But...but...I thought Corsi was a kook? Not too long ago FReepers were trashing this man when he wrote about the NAU and the Trans-Texas Corridor.
I am very glad Corsi did this book.
I am pleased to say that, thanks to all of you guys, I already knew about everything that’s in it. :)
I was killing time while my wife shopped and I found an Obama book I hadn’t seen before.
It was soft covered and the author’s last name started with a M.
It may have been Obama From Promise to Power by David Mendell.
Only had a chance to check out the photos inside, but, what struck me was Obama in Kenya doing his Messiah act.
Obama was surrounded by huge adoring crowds.
Estimated by some to be in the thousands.
And he ate it up.
He was treated like a conquering hero.
Obama has been to Kenya more times than he’s been to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Oh for Pete’s sake. Corsi isn’t a god, he’s a guy with a point of view- not always correct- sometimes right on the money.
Since I haven’t had an opportunity to read the book it’s hard to make a judgment yet. One point though- he said the book is loaded with footnotes and documentation.
Ok- thanks for checking. I guess it’s a matter of finding the interview(s) with Sean and checking them out.
Posts 26 and 27 have scanned in copies of the Memorandum of Understanding Odinga signed with Islam. Obama campaigned for Odinga, remember.
Thanks! I remember seeing this before. I especially noticed what it said in paragraph f.
Thank you, will check it all out later. Have a house full of family this weekend.
LOL! Isn't MEMRI supposed to be the new search engine that will be 1000 times better than Google?
Actually, MEMRI.org is the Middle East Media Research Institute.
Paragraph f is pretty standard for Shariah Law.
I remember a while ago there was a thread on here about public schools in California having overviews of Islam for about a week. At the end of that overview, the kids were reciting the Shahada. Non-Muslims recite this publically to convert to Islam. Therefore, as per the rules of Islam, these kids were converted.
Now the first thing I thought of was Canada. Canada now recognizes Shariah. Technically, if these kids went to Canada on a school trip, they could be subjected to Paragraph f.
