Obama gave $1 million to Kenyan Muslims' ally
World Net Daily ^ | 10/15/2008 | Jerome Corsi

Posted on 10/14/2008 8:42:47 PM PDT by Aria

NEW YORK –Sen. Barack Obama, with a donation of nearly $1 million, and a son of Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi were among the biggest contributors to the presidential campaign of controversial Kenyan leader Raila Odinga, according to an internal document obtained by WND.

The memo was prepared by the head of Odinga's campaign finance accounting section, Shakeel Shabbir, as an official report delivered to the national treasurer for Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement party, or ODM.

Among the 72 individuals and organizations that contributed money to Odinga's 2007 presidential run in Kenya, Shabbir lists "Friends of Senator B.O." as having donated 66,000,000 Kenyan schillings, about $950,000.

Saif el-Islam Gadhafi, the Libyan strongman's second oldest son, reportedly donated 53,450,000 Kenyan schillings, about $765,000.

According to several highly credible ex-ODM sources WND interviewed in Kenya, the $950,000 raised for Odinga's campaign came from a series of private meetings arranged for Odinga by Mark Lippert, a foreign policy adviser in Obama's U.S. Senate office. The meetings with top-dollar Obama fundraisers and donors took place during Odinga's 2006 trip to the U.S.

The MSM will ignore this news...had it been any other candidate, would have been blown out of the water.

I wonder who the donors were at the several little fundraisers? (this should have been added to my first question)

The hits just keep on coming....

Obama will not be able to survive this onslaught until the end of the race unless he is the “anti-Christ.”

Predict a landslide by McCain and the media won’t believe it.

Are Corsi and WhirledNutzDaily tied at the hip, or will he allow a real new organization(s) to see the documents?

Speaking of Corsi; where IS he?
As of yesterday he was reported to be regaining his health and was even said to be holding news conferences with several outfits. He’s also supposed to be on with Sean Hannity any day? If he has revealed anything to anyone, it is being kept real quiet. Or was it all just another fizzle?

Why didn’t Hannity pick it up?

Makes you wonder if it passed his smell test.

If Corsi wants to be taken seriously he’ll show his documents. It’s bothered me that we haven’t heard more from Hannity on all this. I wonder what the hold up is - we keep having these bursts of what we think is earth shaking news and then it fizzles out.

Campaign contributions can only be spent for “political purposes.” I think we all assumed that would mean US political purposes. I know you can't spend Federal campaign dollars to run for state office. How, then, can you spend Federal campaign dollars to interfere in foreign elections? THIS should be a Federal felony!

I have supported Corsi in the past but with no certified copies of documents and only words I would not put any hope into his view. If he has the documents and releases them them The game is on. Right now he looks like an attention seeker.

Hannity has not mentioned him since last Friday. At that time he was going to be on His TV show on Monday. It did not happen as I am sure Hannity being a professional cound not verify or vet Corsi’s information.
