Raila Odinga's official website:
Your "Agent of Change" (no joke)
http://www.raila07.com/
Whether Mr. Odinga [Raila Odinga] has ordered his men to commit murder and arson is unclear. But his own background does not exactly suggest enthusiasm for democracy and the rule of law. Mr. Odinga's father, Oginga Odinga, led the Communist opposition during the Cold War and Raila Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany.
(snip)
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.
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.

"...this hasn't even gotten into the relationship between Obama and Raila Odinga, yet another politician who ran on the 'hope & change' theme while utilizing criminal ties, who would then stage a violent and bloody uprising when national elections didn't go his way. Somehow we don't hear much about the nightly phone calls between Sen. Obama and Raila Odinga these days..."
Kenya's first truly free and fair democratic election was in December 2002, won by Mwai Kibaki and a multi-ethnic coalition party NARC (National Rainbow Coalition). One of the leaders of that coalition was Raila Odinga.
Kibaki didn't give him positions in the new government that he felt were important enough, so Odinga formed an opposition party, ODM (Orange Democratic Movement, orange the symbol color of opposition).
When Raila Odinga lost the presidential election last week (12/27) to Mwai Kibaki, he claimed the vote was rigged, whereupon his tribal followers went on murderous rampages such as in the town of Eldoret, where on New Years Day dozens of people were burned to death in a church set on fire.
Throughout Kenya, hundreds of people have been politically murdered in the last few days.
Kenya's 37 million people are divided up into over three dozen tribes and sub-tribes, but the two dominant ones are Kikuyu and Luo. Kenyan politics since independence in 1963 has essentially been a duke-out between them.
The father of Kenyan independence and president until 1978 was Jomo Kenyatta, a Kikuyu. His main political opponent was Oginga Odinga, known as "OO," a Luo and Raila's father.
While Kenyatta was pro-West and sided with America in the Cold War, OO was a Communist who was aided and supported by the Soviet Union.
That's why Raila went to school in East Germany (born in 1945, he graduated from Magdeburg University in 1970), and named his first-born son after Fidel Castro.
Thus it likely won't shock you to learn that Raila has now made a deal for support from the Soviets' successors as world-champion enemies of the West and democratic freedoms: Moslem fundamentalists.
The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya has posted on its website a photograph copy of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated and signed on August 29, 2007, between Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya.
It pledges the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila's election. In return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees to 14 actions, listed a) through n) on page two. Read them all, and be sure you're sitting down. Here's a sample:
b) Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.
c) With immediate effect dismiss the Commissioner of Police who has allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists to oppress the Kenyan Muslim community.
g) Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in "Muslim declared regions."]
Again, read all of them, for others are just as bad or worse.
It may also not surprise you that Raila is not Moslem himself, but claims to be a practicing Anglican. Only a minority of Luo are Moslem (most are Christian). Kenya on the whole is Christian, with 80% of Kenyans either Protestant or Roman Catholic, while only 10% are Moslem.
And here is the biggest non-surprise: 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:

People need to know more about this.
EVEN CHILDREN CAN UNDERSTAND - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2101808/posts
This needs to hit the news cycles along with more about Ayers, Wright, Rezko. Few know about this guy and his associations with Obama. This is relevant and recent.
Americans don’t give a hoot about this, give it a rest.
Your opinion constitutes a teensy-weensy minority here.
Odinga is very relevant. Did you watch the video?

They don't even know about it!

"Agent of Change", "Register For Change", "Vote For Change" (no joke)

I’ve been there and read some of his stuff.
He’s a true dictator, after inciting the slaughter of enough Christians and burning down about 800 churches, one filled with 50 people he was granted with the new title “Prime Minister”.
On his site he talks about the other party who defeated him and granted him power using terrorism in unflattering terms. He goes far enough to say that he actually won 70% of the vote!!!
Obama’s defeat is not going to be pretty, I wonder how hard he’ll push.
Al Gore tried to steal the Oval Office in plain sight. Take that brazenness, add the racial element, stir it up real good and God Help Us All.
George Bush has beenin office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.
A little overone year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOWJONES hit a record high-14,000
5) Americans were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!...
But Americans wanted CHANGE!
So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yeswe got CHANGE allright.
In the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
2) Gasoline is now over $3 a gallon
3)Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;
5) 1% ofAmerican homes are in foreclosure.
6) THE DOW is probing another low~~ $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM STOCKS,BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT! ....
REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.
AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. (actually, they did something...none of it good)
NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!
JUST HOW MUCH MORE CHANGE DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?
They don’t know about it, for the most part.

Light your torches, grab your pitchforks, and tell the MSM what America is REALLY thinking about. MAKE it the news. Your email account is your weapon, and this is war. So lock and load, and use your electronic Liberty Teeth! Rub their elitist noses in what they SHOULD be reporting on! Help Sarah take on the lamestream media!
You’re missing the point that Obama campaigned for a radical Socialist (really a Communist) who started riots and the genocide of Christians when he lost and we will find out soon from Jerome Corsi that the genocide of Christians did nothing to change Obama’s support.
OK, you’re right, nobody cares about Odinga.
If the RNC and McCain/Palin team fear a Palousi/Read/Obama nation, consider a “NO COAT TAILS” option.
John and Sarah should be urging ALL voters to vote against their Incumbent Congressman {and any sitting Senator on the ballot}.
Think about it...A local Republican Congressman introduces John, or Sarah. to the Crowd.
THEN John or Sarah tells that crowd to vote AGAINST ALL incumbent Congressmen and Senators!
CHANGE!
Independants and small government types would listen.
NEW Faces is most Congressional seats would be Republican.
Commitee Chairing Dems could become FORMER Congress Members.
Even if Obama takes the White House, Dems won’t have their MANDATE.

That would have them actively campaigning against Republicans. Note to self: Do NOT hire PizzaDriver as my campaign manager.
I probably should give my ping list a rest for a few hours, but I will definitely be back to this thread, and will ping others here. Thanks so much for this thread...
Obama's supposed 'cousin' Raila Odinga is a Marxist thug who is likely responsible for the deaths of over a thousand Kenyans. He had pledged to pull out on the war on terrorism if elected. And Obama went over there and actively campaigned for him.
