"As I left Havana earlier this month," writes Dr. Rens Lee, senior fellow at Philadelphia's prestigious Foreign Policy Research Institute, "Cuba was eagerly awaiting the United States' November presidential elections. The buzz around the capital, reportedly from a highly placed source, was that Barack Obama has already talked to Raul Castro by phone."

Well, if he talked with Odinga by phone during the New Hampshire primary, back when Odinga as murdering Christians and burning churches in Kenya, then no doubt he can find time to talk with Castro.

Why introduce something ridiculous into something may be very serious for our foreign policy.
Clearly it is not proper for these traitors to be speaking to our enemies behind the back of our President.

Let me point out this excerpt you may have missed,
"Barack Obama has already pledged himself to grant the Castro brothers one of their most fervent wishes by abolishing a Bush policy that seriously stung them. "I will immediately allow unlimited family travel and remittances to the island," pledged Barack Obama on his Miami visit in May" This is no conspiracy theory Cat. O's words are clear.

NOW APPEARS OBAMAS COMMUNIST COUSIN IS PM OF KENYA (USES HIS STREET THUGS TO GAIN POWER)
Cabinet: Kibaki meets ministers
Story by NATION Team Publication Date: 2008/04/01 Cabinet ministers have said they are ready to work with ODM leader Raila Odinga to implement the power-sharing deal signed in February, sources close to the meeting have revealed.
President Kibaki chairs a Cabinet meeting at his Harambee House office in Nairobi on Monday. Photo/PPS In the first formal Cabinet meeting since President Kibaki and the Prime Minister-designate signed the deal to end post-election violence, the ministers also agreed on the need to speed up the resettlement of displaced families.
They also challenged the police to beef up security and crack down on those threatening the refugees who are willing to return to their farms.
However, the 15 ministers said President Kibaki should not share executive authority with any other office. The President can consult on who should be in government but the final say on who should occupy which position should be left to him, sources privy to the talks said.
Determine size
Sources said the ministers wanted the President to determine the size and structure of the Cabinet and insisted that he should not be dictated to.
The team said it was ready to work with Mr Odinga, the Prime Minister-designate, but claimed that he was a man under siege.
According to the sources, the ministers said Mr Odinga was a different man when he consulted with the President but often appeared to be a changed person after consulting his party.
However, Mr Odingas spokesman, Mr Salim Lone, said in an interview with the Nation that the party was ready to meet the Government coalition to resolve the impasse over the Cabinet.
He said ODM had a clear perspective on what the accord signed between President Kibaki and Mr Odinga entailed.
The accord was signed on February 28, to end post-election violence in which over 1,200 people were killed after a dispute over the presidential election results.
The deal also provided for sharing of power between the Presidents party, PNU and ODM.
And while addressing the Africa economic ministers conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Monday, Mr Benjamin Mkapa said the power- sharing deal signed by President Kibaki and Mr Odinga provided the framework for peace.
The former Tanzanian president was a member of the team of eminent Africans that negotiated the deal.
I dont think there is a Cabinet crisis since they are already agreed on the framework, said Mr Mkapa.
More brutal and gory details of the man Obama unequivocally supports. Obama is so busted. This is more than bad judgment, this is scary. A Jacksonian who has done yeoman's work in substantiating Odinga's nefarious Arab ties and his hand in the ongoing violence that has all of Kenya in its barbaric clutches. Inconceivable horror. Gang raping little girls and boys as many as ten times. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Obama has backed Odinga unequivocally going so far as telling big media (out of TIME Magazine's Joe Klein here),
"Obama has had near-daily conversations with the U.S. Ambassador in Kenya or with opposition leader Raila Odinga. As of late this afternoon, before his rally in Rochester, N.H., Obama was trying to reach Kenyan President Kibaki."
And he still hasn't reached him I bet. More on Odinga and Obama's phone conversations here.
This is beyond bad judgment. This is just bad and this story is not going to go away no matter how desperately in love Obamedia is with the Christ child. Big media does not control information anymore. And Obama is culpable. Here I am -- an individual blogger getting all this terrible information on Odinga and the man running for POTUS is in the dark? Think about it.
Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's "stooge."
A Jacksonian sent me this stunning comment (with links) on his post The other source of change in Kenyan politics made by one of his readers, mobysnny:
It's not getting reported in the media that the looting and burning of businesses in Kisumu was targeted to both Kikuyus and Kenyan Indians. The economy of Kenya is controlled by these two groups because they are Entrepreneurial. But Kenyan Indians rarely get involved in Kenyan politics, they do not vote by choice, yet the Luos in Kisumu do not like them, that's why their stores were getting burnt too.
Obama's boy.
I mentioned in my other comment about Luo supporters of Odinga abroad were telling each other to contact TV stations and spread about the violence in Kenya. Here is one sent by a Luo to Jerusalem Post.
I was shocked by the lies this man decided to tell the post. That is the reason we are seeing all this stories making Odinga and his supporters look like angels even as they kill people.
Can you believe these Luos abroad were telling their supporters in Kenya that William Ruto and Raila Odinga had been arrested immediately after the election results. Which was total lies. It was meant to incite ODM supporters in Kenya mainly Luos and Kalenjin (Ruto is a Kalenjin). That's another reason we were seeing the violence getting worse.
Supporters of Raila Odinga (BARAK OBAMAS COUSIN!!), the leading presidential challenger, rallied in Kibera, a slum near Nairobi.(According to the NY Times, this is a "rally")

My answer to this story is... so what.
One Communist speaks to another Communist.
Hardly earth shattering is it?

Lets hope that when the muslim HUSSEIN loses the election, his supporters don’t what they did for his cousin in Kenya; burn, rape, murder, and pillage until there is a power sharing agreement.

Of course Obama is talking to Castro, the only issue is that anyone would consider this a secret. Communists talk to other Communists and its an international movement, so Obama is simply talking to his fellow travelers and laying the groundwork for the 1st Communist Administration in U.S. history. Actually, the 2d if you count Jimmy Carter, which you should.

It’s not like it matters to the democrats. We found that Ted Kennedy was giving info to the Iranians when he was running against Jimmy Carter for the presidency. Not a peep out of the Democrats over that.

Kerry talked with the North Vietnamese 4 times in Paris. Obama would like to get a jump start on the one world government with talks to who ever would take him and the secret societies seriously. Billy Carter's brother Jimmy still takes himself seriously as a world order diplomat. That might be enough to make a new VP candidate drink.

Good summary. Our Communist press has completely ignored what happened in Kenya, while claiming that Christian missionaries who sent back word about these riots and mass murders of Christians were liars.

That won’t happen in America. As one of the only two nations where the citizens are armed, rioting car burners are likely to be shot by the owner of said car. That holds even more for pick up trucks.
The only reason tyrants can survive is that they have disarmed people at their whim.

The response of Miami Cubans to Obama schmoosing Raul Castro should be interesting. Betcha El Neuvo Heraldo won’t make much of this.
Univision and Cuban radio will - all in good time.
