Obama's Kenya ghosts
The Washington Times ^ | October 12, 2008 | Mark Hyman

Posted on 11/01/2008 4:17:32 PM PDT by Glorious Liberty

About 50 parishioners were locked into the... church before it was set ablaze. They were mostly women and children. Those who tried to flee were hacked to death…

By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed…

The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who lost the Dec. 27, 2007, presidential election by more than 230,000 votes. Odinga supporters began the genocide hours after the final election results were announced Dec. 30…

In return for Muslim backing, Mr. Odinga promised to impose a number of measures favored by Muslims if he were elected president... recognition of “Islam as the only true religion,” Islamic leaders would have an “oversight role to monitor activities of ALL other religions,” installation of Shariah courts in every jurisdiction, a ban on Christian preaching, replacement of the police commissioner who “allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists,” adoption of a women’s dress code, and bans on alcohol and pork.

Initially, Mr. Odinga was not the favored opposition candidate to stand in the 2007 election against President Mwai Kibaki, who was seeking his second term. However, he received a tremendous boost when Sen. Barack Obama arrived in Kenya in August 2006 to campaign on his behalf. Mr. Obama denies that supporting Mr. Odinga was the intention of his trip, but his actions and local media reports tell otherwise…

Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Mr. Obama’s six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya and Mr. Obama spoke on behalf of Mr. Odinga at numerous rallies…

Mr. Obama’s judgment is seriously called into question when he backs an official with troubling ties to Muslim extremists and whose supporters practice ethnic cleansing and genocide. It was Islamic extremists in Kenya who bombed the U.S. Embassy in 1998, killing more than 200 and injuring thousands.

Has anyone chronicled the never-ending denials and lies of Obama? He has more baggage as a candidate than Bush has after eight years in office.

I wonder if this is why the Washington Times was kicked out of the plane.

Is this the first time someone in the “MSM” has reported this?

From what I have seen it is.

Thank God!

Someone needs to report that this man has too many shady people that he just happens to run into.

Let’s go down the list.

Jeremiah Wright-not the man he knew

Louis Farahkhan-claims Barack is the Messiah

Raila Odinga- didn’t campaign for him on this taxpayer funded trip, but newspapers show differently

Bill Ayers- just a guy in his neighborhood (and numerous boards, meetings, etc...) and dedicated a book to the murderer of Bobby Kennedy

Khalidi- PLO operative and possibly involved in the Munich murders

and on and on and on and on

Obama helped raise almost $1 million for Odinga. Odinga recently “endorsed” Obama. Go figure.

He has more baggage than Hillary and that takes a lot.
