Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Sunday said he would not attend the US Presidential elections but noted that Kenya would be well-represented at the event in which Barack Obama is fighting it out with John McCain for the highest seat in the land.

The PM said he wholly supported Obama's candidature and was just as excited as many Kenyans about the historic event.

The PM who said he was optimistic Obama would win the elections said his candidature for Presidency was a great honour to Kenyans with whom he shared a common ancestry.

"He will be President", Mr. Odinga said emphatically at Sara Hussein Obama's home in Kogelo.

To give an idea of who Odinga is, the following is from http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/postglobal/njoroge_wachai/2008/10/kenya_wont_bring_leaders_to_ju.html

The author is NJOROGE WACHAI

Njoroge is a journalist who formerly worked for the Kenya-based People Daily.

"A whopping 1,200 innocent people lost their lives within a period of one month. Goons recruited and bankrolled by politicians, some now serving in the coalition government of President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga, systematically decimated whole families. In one incident in Western Kenya, marauding thugs, believed to be supporters of Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Agriculture Minister William Ruto, soaked a church where members of the populous Kikuyu community were cowering with petrol and set it ablaze. About fifty mostly women and children perished in that most bestial attack."

Odinga would make Al Capone look like a saint. Odinga is a friend of terrorism, and a friend of Obama. Voting for Obama is voting for the enemy within.

Also see the story about Obama raising about $1 million for Odinga in Kenya, in conjunction with Libyans who raised another $1 million.

“Obama fundraisers and donors raised in the U.S. almost $1 million for Odinga in the three visits the Democratic presidential candidate arranged for Odinga to make to the U.S. An additional $1 million was raised for Odinga by Saif el-Islam Gadhafi, the Libyan dictator’s second oldest son.”
