The mainstream media has justified ignoring this story based on a “conspiracy theory” chain email making the rounds from some African missionaries. Politifact.com examined the email—which claims Obama gave $1MM to Odinga’s campaign—and declared it “a pants on fire”.
However, the underlying (more important issues) are verifiably true. In August and September 2006, Senator Barack Obama traveled to South Africa, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Chad and Kenya as a congressional delegation of one (Codel Obama) (“Codel Obama” The Hill 9/7/2006) While in Kenya, Obama consistently appeared at the side of fellow Luo Raila Odinga (“your agent for change’), who was running for President. (“Senator Rebukes Kenya’s Corruption” Chicago Sun Times 8/29/2006) Because of his African heritage, Obama was treated as a virtual “Head of State” in Kenya While campaigning with Odinga, Obama was openly critical of governmental corruption under President Mibaki –usually a fair, if undiplomatic, criticism from an objective observer.
However, Kibaki’s government has been better than most—and Odinga has his own corruption issues.( “Loud and Populist, But No Political Outsider” The Guardian 12/29/2007)
Obama’s partisan support for Odinga was considered so transparent, that the Kenyan Government spokesman, Alfred Matua, complained of political posturing to aid Odinga’s election chances: “It is very clear that the senator has been used as a puppet to perpetuate opposition politics,”(“Walking The World Stage” Newsweek 9/11/06) And, “…we earlier thought he was mature in his assessment of Kenyan and African politics,” Mutua told AFP.”We forgive him because it is his first time in the Senate and he is yet to mature into understanding issues of foreign policy,” he said.”(“Obama’s Kenya Honeymoon Ends Abruptly After Graft Rebuke” 8/29/06) Subsequently, Ambassador Ogingo Ogego made a public complaint to the US.(“Kenyan Envoy Kicks Off Diplomatic Row” My Africa 9/27/2006)

"Clearly, Obama campaigned for someone who is corrupt, ruthless and has financial ties to terrorists. More importantly, Obama campaigned for a candidate who had the stated objective of dismantling US & Kenyan government efforts to root out Al Queda and other terrorist organizations. Organizations that had already caused the deaths of hundreds of Americans and Africans in embassy bombings. Senator Obama’s actions—intentional or not—were in direct conflict with the efforts and interests of US national security. I think this raises serious questions about the judgment, maturity and readiness of Senator Obama." Paula Abeles africanpress on August 10, 2008

This needs to be front and center.
Bingo! Does anyone find this a treasonous act by a Politician aspiring to be the President of the Country he is commiting Treason against? Lets hope the Majority of Americans find this a Despicable Act and an Unacceptable Act by a Devious and Anti-American Politician.
Here’s the damning video -

Let’s get this out to the regulars - We have to conduct FREEP the INFO to the regulars from now to the 4th-
Remember the formula of the networks: The office people that screen the emails only pass them on when they get X-amount on a given subject.
So this is OUR part - WE the PEOPLE - in protecting our freedoms.
and the McC/Sarah campaign at:
info@McCainPalinVictory2008.com
and even CNN - worth a shot. link for contacting CNN
http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form1.html?9
IMPORTANT when emailing. they won’t read mass emails - SO,
put just one email add in the “to” line then click on BBC at the end of that line. a BCC line will open just above subject line. copy paste the rest of the addresses in there and each recipient will see ONLY their name - and in the subject line make reference to OBAMA ODINGO - his cousin, by the way. That will have a much bigger impact on people. And he cannot bluff his way out. It’s on film.
Let’s make it happen. This is our part in protecting our freedoms = WE THE PEOPLE - we act now or get ready for Jack Boots and Brown Shirts...Obama already has his personal police force plans ready
copy the email addresses for use for the rest of the campaign
Obama for Genocide.
Obama is connected to every left wing creep in the world.
One very important connection between the two is not mentioned — both are Muslims.
Do we want a POTUS who wants to dismantle efforts to root out Al Queda and other terrorist organizations? This is the first time in our history that we have a candidate who may blatantly be on the side of America’s enemies.
Hell, instead of living in the WH, 0bama may be a good candidate for a place in Guantanamo where he can be among his peers.
the following paragraph citing DICK MORRIS OF ALL PEOPLE IS WHY Fox News is not going with the story!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable!!!
At no point has Senator Obama tried to distance himself from Odinga. Odinga visited Obama on a fundraising tour of the US in 2007 and it is believed that political strategist Dick Morris assisted in Odinga’s presidential campaign- gratis- at Obama’s request (Morris only acknowledged the suggestion came through “mutual friends”). (“Bridges Burned in US, Political Kingmaker Hits Africa” ABC News 11/20/2007) Odinga has claimed that he and Obama speak regularly and whether this is true or not– the similarities between their campaigns are startling. (“Kenya Tests New Style of Politicking” The Washington Post, 12/22/2007)”
They would rather our whole country go socialist so they can protect Dick Morris.
I have read a lot about this and it’s one of the things that most disturbs me about Obama.
How little it is known about this man. And what we do mange to find out is just appalling! He gave support to an ideological maniac that did not accept a democratic outcome and launched it’s country on a path towards genocide!!!
I think this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8QcpdUtxNQ&feature=related shows perfectly how this is not acceptable at all from a man who wants to be president of the USA.
If you haven’t seen it I think you’ll be disgusted when watching it as I was ...
Need we say more about Obama's foreign policy experience and where it would lead us?
Beat me to it with the video. I’m not very swayed by these things but this is in fact VERY powerful. That’s why I needed to come here and post this.
Yes, go and get the word out.
well i am getting disgusted. this story has been out there for a while at Atlas Shrugs. A relatively well know blog. She has been sooooo frustrated that it has not gone viral.
mmmm......... i wonder why. dick morris is not a powerful enough pundit to keep this from fox I don’t think.
i am sleepy and going to bed. but i fired off gads of email to well know media figures including rush on this story. the bare spared down facts are so much worse than the ayers/wright stuff.
i wonder if we are just being played here. the media might be playing us all for fools. this thing alone plus the fact that Obama is a duel Kenya/USA citizen should have had him out of the running.
something is very, very fishy here. maybe we are all being big brothered already by the entire media and political class.
if they are playing a joke by not informing us of this pertinent, scary and critical stuff then the joke is on them. big brother’s boot will come down on Brit Hume/Tom Brokaw too.
I just hope Sarah isn’t in on the joke.
oh well tomorrow is another day.
obama had no idea of his beliefs and this is not the man that he once new. also, he was not friends with him. he hardly knew him. what board? where’s the money?...
Here are some articles describing how brutal Odinga’s minions (Pinko Commie with Islamofascist thugs) were to the supporters of Kibaki (Pro-Western Christians):

“I’m Barack Obama and through my rabble rousing I approved this ethnic cleansing.”
“I am so proud to be back home … it really touches my heart when my relatives come out in large numbers to welcome me.”
Barack Obama upon arriving in Kenya
“Senator Obama Lands Home”
Kenya’s “The Standard” 8/27/06)
Guess that answers the dual-loyalty question...
and cousins from the same tribe - as it says in the video
Well, I completely understand what you’re saying! And I agree, this is far worse than the ayers connection.
Again, I think this hasn’t been “out there” for fears of the RACISM shout out.
I think we have gone past that now, so maybe we will see this emerge.
Yet another campaign issue that should be brought up and ads done listing these dangerous liasons. There’s just SO MUCH of this evidence that he is not to be trusted.
