I have heard this Odinga/Morris connection before on this website, can I ask, why in the hell would Morris be campaigning for this guy, beyond the obvious, money, but what does Morris have to do with Africa, unless Morris runs some bloviated DC lobbying company that all of these insiders seem to be involved in.

Former Clinton aides currently working for Obama were the “mutual acquaintances” who directed Dick Morris to Kenya to advise the Odinga campaign in November of 2007, shortly after Odinga visited with Obama in America. Morris was an extremely divisive factor in the Kenyan elections, as a foreigner, a white man, and the creator of an antagonistic “have vs. have nots” campaign platform for Odinga’s ODM. He also suggested the current campaign of civil disobedience to protest the election result, including a “Million Person March”, a la Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.
When things got out of hand following the election, Obama called Odinga repeatedly, but Mwai Kibaki, the leader of the Government would not return his calls as he perceives Obama to be biased toward his Luo relative Odinga in the conflict. Obama is featured prominently in ODM campaign posters, slogans, and songs in Kenya, and the plaintive phrase “A Luo will become President in America before a Luo will become President in Kenya” is often heard.

check out the list of donors on the ODM internal memo.
Morris did the work for the guy for free. I have no idea why he did what he did. I also don’t know why Hillary didn’t use this during the primaries, she could have knocked out Morris and Obama with one stone.
