Raila Odinga:
"No Raila, No Peace"
Obama's Greatest Foreign Policy Achievement: Resulted in Muslim-led Ethnic Cleansing Massacre of Hundreds of Christians
"Friends of Obama": Gave Nearly $1 Million to Odinga
Odinga Supporters Burned Christians Alive
Barack Obama has an Odinga problem, and it could be his Achille's heel, proving that Obama's only foreign policy achievement to date resulted in massive Muslim-led ethnic cleansing that murdered hundreds of Christians in Western Kenya in the post-election violence of his cousin Raila Odinga's failed 2007 bid for the Kenyan presidency.
Raila Odinga is the current Prime Minister of Kenya, and Barack Obama's first cousin. Odinga's mother was the sister of Barak Obama, Sr, who was also a member of Odinga's Luo (or Jalou) tribe.
Odinga's father was the late Kenyan politician Jaramogi Odinga Oginga, and he, Barak Obama Sr, and Raila Odinga both attended the same Maseno high school in Western Kenya.
Barack Obama campaigned extensively for Odinga in late 2006 while visiting Kenya on US taxpayer funded trips, and was even denounced by the sitting government as an "Odinga stooge".
Odinga was never elected Prime Minister, rather he ran as a member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), and lost a close election to the incumbent President Mwai Kibaki by 250,000 votes.
This loss and the Odinga campaigns subsequent accusations of election fraud sparked horrible violence and ethnic cleansing between Odinga's Muslim Luo Tribe (13% of the Kenyan population) and Kibaki's Kikuyu (20 percent of Kenya's population) tribe, who vowed that without Odinga's election, there would be no peace, or "No Raila, No Peace".

The media and Obama will sweep this under the rug just like every other bad relationship that has been uncovered. And the idiots voting for him will still vote for him and somehow turn this back on McCain.
I thought this was disputed. Be worth looking into.
I don’t understand it either. There is an absolute wealth of issues against Obama...a mountain of evidence. Surely the sheer volume and weight of this information will begin to tip the scales.
The big question is: can the truth prevail over such a determined and deliberate media blackout. In any normal democracy, with an honest and fair press, this guy would have been exposed long ago. I feel for you Americans. This pro-left media bias is one of the saddest situations your country has faced in a very long time. The ironic thing is that in any communist country the first thing to go is the “free” media. I wonder if the U.S. media clowns have thought that far in advance about the repercussions of their actions?

The media in the U.S. have suppressed the entire story of Odinga, the massacres, and the church burnings, except for a couple of brief pieces about “lying right-wing extremist missionaries” who were peddling lies about church burnings.
So, most people have never even heard about Odinga or the atrocities he committed.
That was obviously deliberate. They knew about the Obama connection from the get-go, so they wanted to make it as difficult as possible. We not only have to establish Obama’s connection with these massacres, we have to establish that there even WERE massacres. All of Europe know what happened in Kenya, but the US media have turned a blind eye to the whole affair.
Massacre and displacement of thousands of blacks. Yawn. It’s only reported if it serves their agenda.
BTTT
We have FACTS and this should be publicized. Obama cannot sweep this one under any rug.
If you click the video link in the story, Odinga himself tells the interviewer that his mother was Barack Obama, Sr.’s sister.
I beg to differ. B. HUSSEIN Obama and the liberal media have swept it under the rug for months, and it isn't going to get widespread exposure in the US in time to affect the election if it gets any media coverage at all, which is extremely unlikely.
The American people are on the verge of making the greatest mistake of all our lives, and they don't have the information to warn them of the dangers of what they're about to do. All that thanks to the slanted, selective coverage by the left wing US media.
Most of us who frequent FR don't get our "news" from the MSM, but the great majority of voters do. Unless that situation is somehow changed the US will continue it's rapidly accelerating slide into authoritarian governance and eventual oblivion.
BTT!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raila_Odinga:
"Raila Odinga is of the Anglican faith[22] and is married to Ida Odinga (born Ida Anyango Oyoo). They live in Nairobi (but has a second home in Bondo District) with their four children—two sons and two daughters. His oldest son, Fidel, is named after Fidel Castro[23] and their youngest child, Winnie, is named after Winnie Mandela.[23]
"In a January 2008 interview, Odinga asserted that he was the first cousin of American Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama through Senator Obama's father.[24] However, Barack Obama's paternal uncle denied any direct relation to Odinga, stating "Odinga's mother came from this area, so it is normal for us to talk about cousins. But he is not a blood relative."[25] Obama's father belonged to the same Luo tribe as Odinga. [24]"
