for those who will right off hand consider this to be a hit piece with no actual facts to back it up consider this http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=S8QcpdUtxNQ&feature=related

ON MARCH 3, 2008,OBAMA'S TOP FOREIGN POLICY ADVISOR, SUSAN RICE, HELD A CONFERENCE CALL WITH THE PRESS http://www.suntimes.com/news/sweet/822489,CST-NWS-sweet03.article Rice said Obama's achievements -- other than legislative initiatives -- include his willingness to confront the leaders of South Africa and Kenya about problems that were devastating their nations. On the same call, retired Air Force Gen. Scott Gration, a top Obama military adviser who was glued to Obama's side during the African trip -- highlighted Obama's Nairobi speech where he deplored Kenya's tribalism and corruption -- a timely reminder, given the violence after Kenya's recent disputed election. Obama slapped South African President Thabo Mbeki a day before he hoped to meet with him -- and the meeting never took place. In Kenya, the land of his father, Obama was treated as a head of state, a Kenyan despite being an American and, even then, a potential presidential candidate. He urged Kenyans to move past their deeply rooted tribalism -- Obama's father was a Luo -- to form a new sort of Kenyan identity. Obama very publicly criticized the administration of Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki for not rooting out corruption. There was no way Kibaki could deny the wildly popular Obama a meeting, even if he wanted to. Obama raised concerns about Kenya's lack of government transparency. Obama also appeared with opposition leader Raila Odinga -- a Luo -- who was running for president. Violence erupted in Kenya in January after Kibaki and Odinga contested the election findings. THE BBC REPORTED: "Keyan opposition leader Raila Odinga has said he is a cousin of US presidential hopeful Barack Obama. Mr Odinga told the BBC's The World Today that Senator Obama's father was his maternal uncle. " ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7176683.stm .) THIS FACT WAS NEVER DISCLOSED BY OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN. OBAMA FOMENT DIVISIVENESS IN KENYA BY OBAMA'S OPENLY CRITICIZING KENYAN PRESIDENT KIBAKI IN A NATIONALLY TELEVISED SPEECH AND CAMPAIGNING WITH COUSIN ODINGA AS ACKNOWLEDGED BY SUSAN RICE AND THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN ON MARCH 3, 2008. CBS2 OF CHICAGO COVERED THE OBAMA VISIT( http://cbs2chicago.com/topstories/Barack.Obama.Kenya.2.331658.html ), NOTING THE KENYAN GOVERNMENT'S DISPLEASURE WITH OBAMA'S SPEECH AND CAMPAIGNING, "Sen. Obama has to look at critically about where he's receiving his advice from," said government spokesman Dr. Alfred Mutua. "Just because somebody, somewhere wants to run for president and is using Sen. Obama as his stooge, as his puppet to be able to get to where he wants to get to."

MOREOVER, THE STANDARD'S SEPTEMBER 2, 2006 EDITION (http://www.eastandard.net/archives/?mnu=details&id=1143957666&catid=4 ) CARRIED A STORY ABOUT THE KENYAN GOVERNMENT'S PROTEST TO OBAMA'S PARTICIPATION IN DOMESTIC KENYAN POLITICS, WHICH INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: In a letter to the Illinois Senator, the Kenyan Ambassador (designate) to the US, Mr. Peter Oginga Ogego, termed Obama’s remarks as having been in bad taste and injurious to Kenya-US bilateral relations. The statement said in part: "I hereby wish to communicate to you the displeasure and disappointment of the Government of Kenya, (Kenyan) Embassy in Washington DC, and majority of Kenyans, with regards to your recent utterances while in Kenya. "Your unprovoked and uncalled for statements were in bad taste, particularly given that your visit was well arranged in advance, with full briefings given to your office in Washington DC by the Kenya Embassy." Ogego accused the Senator of deliberately twisting the truth about the Government’s fight against corruption to gain publicity. "You deliberately, without real cause or reason, other than what appears (to be) to seek cheap publicity and inconsequential populism, chose to publicly attack the democratically elected Government of Kenya, in total disregard for the requisite protocol and acceptable methods to address the issues you raised, what with programmed appointments to meet Cabinet Ministers and even the Head of State, since your visit was official," Ogego said. BARACK OBAMA HAS MADE FOREIGN POLICY JUDGMENT AN ISSUE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. IN DOING SO THE PRESS SHOULD LOOK INTO BARACK OBAMA'S AFRICAN TRIP IN AUGUST 2006 WHEN ON OFFICIAL SENATE BUSINESS. FIRST HE PUBLICLY INSULTED THE SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT, THABO MBEKI, RESULTING IN MBEKI CANCELING A MEETING WITH OBAMA. HERE IS A LEGITIMATE FOREIGN POLICY JUDGMENT QUESTION: SHOULD AN INDIVIDUAL SENATOR CONDUCT AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY, IF THAT FUNCTION OF GOVERNMENT IS GIVEN TO THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT BY THE CONSTITUTION? OBAMA VIO;ATED THE LOGAN ACT, 18 U.S.C. Section 953.

ODINGA'S PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN WAS FUNDED BY MUAMMAR GADDAFI( http://www.eastandard.net/archives/?mnu=details&id=1143972118&catid=4 ). ODINGA SIGNED A PACT WITH RADICAL MUSLIMS AS A CONDITION OF GADDAFI'S FINANCIAL SUPPORT (http://wikileaks.cx/leak/MOU_between_Ralia_Odinga_and_Muslims.pdf) THAT STATES IN PARAGRAPH 5(f) "NO MUSLIM RESIDING IN KENYA WHETHER A CITIZEN, VISITOR OR RELATIVE OF ANY OF THE OF ABOVE SHALL BE SUBJECTED TO ANY PROCESS INVOLVING THE LAWS OF A FOREIGN COUNTRY AND IN PARTICULAR ANY MUSLIM ARRESTED FOR OR SUSPECTED OF TERRORISM OR ANY OTHER INTERNATIONAL CRIME SHALL ONLY BE TRIED WITHIN THE BORDERS OF KENYA AND SHALL BE GRANTED A COMPETENT LAWYER OF HIS/HER CHOICE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE GOVERNMENT." THE STANDARD OF NAIROBI REPORTED IN SEPTEMBER 2006(http://www.eastandard.net/archives/?mnu=details&id=1143957753&catid=4). " In June[2006], Raila flew to the US, where he held talks with Senator Barack Obama, who made a triumphant visit to Kenya — his ancestral home — last week." THE FUNDING OF ODINGA BY MUAMMAR GADDAFI IS DOCUMENTED BY THE STANDARD OF NAIROBI, WHICH REPORTED THAT ODINGA PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN WAS FUNDED BY MUAMMAR GADDAFI AND THAT ODINGA ENRICHED HIMSELF WHILE HE WAS ENERGY MINISTER OF KENYA BY ENGAGING IN FAVORABLE OIL DEALS WITH GADDAFI( http://www.eastandard.net/archives/?mnu=details&id=1143972118&catid=4). THE JULY 31, 2007 EDITION OF THE STANDARD WROTE ABOUT MEETINGS IN THE UNITED STATES BETWEEN RAILA ODINGA AND BARACK OBAMA CONCERNING ODINGA'S KENYAN PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, REPORTING: " In June, Raila flew to the US, where he held talks with Senator Barack Obama, one of the candidates seeking the Democratic Party ticket to vie for the American presidency." THEREAFTER THE ARTICLE ON ODINGA NOTED: While still Energy minister, Raila re-established and nurtured his links with the Libyan Government of Col Muammar Gaddafi, where again he not only did good business in oil importation, but also got substantial material support during the 2002 General Election. Besides supporting Raila’s political cause, the Libyans also played a key role in stabilising Raila in the oil business. Reliable sources say that Libyans bankrolled the Narc campaign with some $3 million (about Sh210 million), thanks to Raila’s good contacts in the oil-rich land of Gaddafi. There is no doubt, therefore, that if Raila becomes the ODM-Kenya presidential candidate, he can once more count on massive financial support from the North African country

SENATE TRAVEL DISCLOSURE RECORDS INDICATE THAT OBAMA DID NOT REIMBURSE THE GOVERNMENT FOR OBAMA'S SECURITY AND TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR OBAMA'S CAMPAIGNING WITH ODINGA IN KENYA, NOR WAS ODINGA MENTIONED AS A SOURCE OF OBAMA'S EXPENSES PAID FOR BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. SHOULD OBAMA BE CALLED TO EXPLAIN WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF CAMPAIGNING WITH ODINGA IN KENYA? SHOULD OBAMA BE ASKED WHY OBAMA FAILED TO DISCLOSE HIS FAMILY RELATIONSHIP WITH RAILA ODINGA? DOES OBAMA'S INVOLVEMENT WITH HIS COUSIN RAILA ODINGA MERELY DEMONSTRATE THAT OBAMA WAS NAIVE AND WAS UNWITTINGLY USED BY ODINGA TO PROMOTE ODINGA'S POLITICAL AMBITIONS? IS THIS EVIDENCE OF POSSIBLE ETHICAL LAPSES BY SENATOR OBAMA? DID OBAMA'S CONDUCT AMOUNT TO INTERFERENCE IN A FOREIGN ELECTION FOR A FIRST COUSIN WHILE ON OFFICIAL SENATE BUSINESS? WAS BARACK OBAMA ACTING AS AGENT PROVOCATEUR FOR RAILA ODINGA? WHY DID OBAMA HAVE HIS TRAVEL AND SECURITY EXPENSES INCURRED IN CAMPAIGNING FOR HIS COUSIN ODINGA PAID FOR BY AMERICAN TAXPAYERS? DID OBAMA'S CONDUCT IN KENYA AS A SENATOR CONSTITUTE MISUSE OF FEDERAL FUNDS? DID OBAMA'S CONDUCT IN KENYA IN AUGUST 2006 DEMONSTRATE GOOD OR BAD FOREIGN POLICY JUDGMENT IN DEALING WITH AN ALLY GOVERNMENT? WHY DID OBAMA CONTINUE TO ASSOCIATE WITH AND SUPPORT RAILA ODINGA IN 2008 AFTER THE ODINGA PACT WITH FUNDAMENTALIST MUSLIM FACTIONS WAS EXPOSED IN NOVEMBER 2007? IS THIS THE "CHANGE" IN THE CONDUCT OF AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY THAT WILL MAKE US SAFER AS A NATION? IS OBAMA ELECTABLE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION GIVEN HIS ASSOCIATION WITH ODINGA AND ODINGA'S CONNECTIONS WITH MUAMMAR GADDAFI AND FUNDAMENTALIST MUSLIM FACTIONS IN KENYA? WHAT WAS OBAMA THINKING AS A SENATOR ON A FACT FINDING TOUR OF KENYA TO DELIBERATELY INTERJECT HIMSELF AS A PARTISAN IN DOMESTIC KENYAN POLITICS?

This should be Page 1 stuff of the Times and not buried on Page B4!

Just more guilt by association and deeds. Notice Obama doesn't run such a campaign. Unless of course Obama is trying to associate John McCain with the three Democrats caught in the Keating 5 scandal. Or Obama associating John McCain with George Bush (I often think Obama just gets confused over who he is running against, like when he said he didn't know if he was running against Hillary or Bill in the primaries). Or when Obama tries to associate John McCain and Republicans with the Jim Crow Democrats. With his race-baiting, Obama is setting the stage like the one in Kenya where a loss in the election is used to justify violence.

Here is some interesting information on Raila Odinga's campaign that was leaked by ODM party members that were doubled-crossed by Odinga in November 2007 when Odinga supported others for the Bunge (Parliment) seats after those who got screwed donated huge sums of money to Odinga. Read and review:http://www.network54.com/Forum/204096/thread/1200846405/last-1200846405/ODM Friends on Senator BO (yes that is Barack Obama gave 66 million Kenyan Shillings ($1 million) to the ODM. Muammar gaddafi's pldest son gave 53,450,000 Kenyan Shillings ($825,000) and Dick Morris (yes the Fox News analyst) gave 21,335,000 Shillings ($325,000). In fact Dick Morris held a press conference with Odinga )available on YouTube) in November 2007 to announce his pro bono work for Odinga just before the Odinga pact with the Mombassa based radical Muslims was leaked. Thereafter, Morris being a good Jew quitely exited from the scene once the Muslim MOU revealed that Kenya would become asanctuary for Muslim terrorists. Forget the Shariah law part of the MOU, harped on by many, the sanctuary for terrorists is the problem. Just this month, Odinga was attempting to get known terrorisrs extradicted to Ethiopia back to Kenya. The good news is taht Muammar Gaddafi who bought the Liaco Regency 5 star hotel by bribing Kenyan government officials said he will not give it back, after a popular uprising by the citizens of Kenya. Kenya is a battleground in the war with Islamic terrorists. Mombassa and the Kildini Harbour deep water port is a strategic asset because it is the best harbour in East Africa and the terminus of the Ugandan and Kenyan Railways built by the British when Mombassa was the capitol of British East Africa. It is the choke point for access to the sea for the natural resource rich African interior providing a means to export raw materials needed in industrial production. You Yanks know little about the rest of the world and the role of Muammar Gaddafi to rid East Africa of its two majority Christian countries Kenya and Ethiopia. America has three weeks to sober up from the intoxication from Barack Hussein Obama, who I hold complicit in the atrocities visited upon the East Indian shopkeepers in Kisumu,Kenya. (Odinga's thugs resorted to the old Mau Mau tactic of his Communist father of murder, mutilation, arson, rape and pillaging on a peaceful minority.) Obama used a Senate staffer, Mark Lippert, to assist his cousin Raila Odinga in Odinga political campaign for the Kenyan presidency. Obama and Lippert violated the Logan Act, Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 953. Lippert was the "filter" between the ODM and Obama. Will Obama nad Odinga slug down Jonnie Black scotch at the Royal Nairobi Golf Clud or the Stanley or Regency hotels in the future and trade stories how the scunked two democratic nations in gaining power? I fear for America and for East Africa. Don't let the Obama counter-attack shout down the truth.

Can we expect a likewise situation in America if Obama is not elected..Considering ACORN's corrupt interference into the voting process and Obamas hand I say we are.. His own words shows he is the tree bearing the ACORNS... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW6KTDGyJh4 Listen to Obama's words..

May God help us. Please deliver us from this man.

Deliver us from Evil. Amen.

wow, I have been hearing this rumor for months online, but this is the first time I have seen it reported in the MSM, thought it was one of those false he is a Muslim charges. I am really shocked, is it possible the times was hacked, is this for real? This is going to change my vote.

First - THANK YOU Washington Times for being the FIRST and ONLY msm outlet to report what many of us have known for a year or so. We (those of us Hillary-democrats that DON'T support Obama) have been wondering why NONE of the media would report something so important. Second-Please see Philip Berg's lawsuit (obamacrimes.com) regarding Obama's ineligibilty to be POTUS based on the fact that he has held TWO other citizenhips: Kenyan and Indonesian. Third - Khaddafi bankrolling Odinga makes sense and might explain why Reverend Wright made a trip to Libya with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan around the same time.

The link to the eastandard.net is now dead. Here is a link with a video of Obama in Kenya with Odinga and the same letter about Obama's visit. Sorrty for the long url but I could not figure out how to put it in. http://citizenwells.wordpress.com/2008/10/10/obama-obama-kenya-visit-2006-video-raila-odinga-odm-party-obama-odinga-campaign-kenyan-government-response-logan-act-violation-petition-to-impeach-expel-senator-obama-obama-kenya-video/
