Obama and Odinga: Change We DON'T
Want
Obama and Odinga - What's the Connection?
Is the connection between Obama
and Odinga a cause for concern among American voters? It certainly appears to
be.
Obama made campaign appearances
with Odinga and raised nearly a million dollars for Odinga's bid to be president
of Kenya.
Why do you care? Keep reading --
all the way to the bottom!
Barack Obama ran for President in
2008 as the candidate of "change." His campaign slogan was
"Change We Need."
But from what we've learned about
Raila Odinga and Obama's support of him, we've determined that we don't want
that kind of change.
Who is Raila Odinga?
If the name is not familiar to
you, Raila Odinga was the opposition leader who lost the election for Kenya's
presidency in 2007 to Mwai Kibaki by some 230,000 votes.
Odinga ran as the candidate of
"Change." Sound familiar? That should send a chill down your spine,
especially when you see the kind of "change" he had in mind -- be
sure to read below the video.
Within hours of the election
results being announced, Odinga claimed the election was rigged. His followers
(mostly Muslim) went on a riotous rampage, burning down villages and killing
members of the rival Kikuyu tribe (mostly Christian) to which Kibaki belongs.
In one notorious incident on New Year's Day, a mob locked the doors of a church
where villagers, mostly women and children, had fled for safety, and set it on
fire, burning them alive. Press reports said those who attempted to escape from
the burning building were hacked to death by machete-weilding mobs.
Odinga supporters painted graffiti
reading "No Raila, No Peace," promising the tribal violence would
continue until the votes were recounted. More than 1500 Kenyans died, and an estimated
500,000 were left homeless by the rampage. Most press reports dismissed it as
"tribal violence." Others accuse Odinga of genocide.
Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi
Annan (from Ghana) interceded and helped negotiate an accord in which the
elected President, Mwai Kibaki, appointed Odinga as Prime Minister, a sharing
of power that was brokered to appease Odinga's supporters and stop the
violence.
Does that bother you as much as it
bothers us? Isn't that negotiating with terrorists? And not just negotiating,
but caving in and giving them what they want? Does it not reward their
murderous tactics?
Why Should a Connection Between Obama and Odinga Concern
American Voters?
Raila Odinga is from the Luo
tribe, as was Barack Obama's father. He claims that Obama Sr. was his maternal
uncle, making him a cousin of President Barack Obama.
We have seen other writers attempt
to dismiss Odinga's claim by saying that in African tribal culture, all members
of the tribe are considered to be "cousins" and that the word does
not have the same meaning it has in the U.S.
But Odinga's claim is more
specific than that - he says Obama Sr. was his mother's brother. That claim has
not been disputed by Barack Obama, to our knowledge.
Before he became a Presidential
candidate, then-Senator Barack Obama made a solo "Senate fact-finding
mission" to Kenya
in 2006. While there, on a trip made in the name of the U.S. government
(as a U.S. Senator) and paid for with taxpayer dollars, he made several
campaign appearances with Odinga, obviously attempting to help him win the
election.
The obvious question: Why was a
U.S. Senator, a representative of the United States Government, involved in any
political campaign in a foreign country?
Was he attempting to hint that the
U.S.
government supported Odinga? Could he possibly have not known that would be the
impression? We don't think so.
More importantly, why did the
Senate Ethics Committee not investigate this obvious abuse of position and
misuse of taxpayer dollars?
And why doesn't the American
public know about this?
Because mainstream media is not
reporting it. If you want to know about it, you'll have to get on the internet
and read some "new media" sources.
Why Did Barack Obama Try to Hide the
Obama and Odinga Connection?
Raila Odinga enjoyed the support
of Kenya's
Muslim community in the election, while denying any ties to Muslim leaders.
That lie was exposed when Sheik Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim
Leaders Forum, appeared on Kenya
television displaying a memorandum of understanding signed on Aug. 29, 2007, by
Mr. Odinga and the Muslim leader.
The details of the agreement were
shocking. Unfortunately, the pdf file has been removed, but we captured the
details for you before it was taken down.
In exchange for their endorsement
and Muslim support in the election, Odinga essentially agreed to create another
Taliban.
He acknowledged Islam as the only
"true religion" and agreed to (among other things):
re-write Kenya's
Constitution within six months to institute Shariah as the only true law
sanctioned by the Quran for Muslim regions;
facilitate the establishment of a
Shariah court within every Kenyan divisional headquarters within one year of
being sworn in;
issue National Identity cards to
ALL Muslims residing in Kenya;
"popularize Islam, the only
true religion, . . . by ordering every primary school in Kenya in the
regions to conduct daily Madrassa classes;"
"impose a total ban on
open-air gospel crusades by worshippers of the cross . . .;"
outlaw gospel programs on national
television;
impose a total ban on alcohol and
pork in regions populated by Muslims; and
"impose an immediate ban on
women's public dressing styles that are considered immoral and offensive to the
Muslim faith in the Muslim regions . . . . This ban will apply to Muslims and
non-Muslims alike, in these regions and will include all visitors whether
domestic or foreign tourists."
In addition, Odinga agreed to give
the Council of Islamic Leaders an "oversight role to monitor activities of
ALL other religions" [emphasis in original] in the Coast Province,
which was to be granted full autonomy in governance.
And "No Muslim residing in
Kenya whether a citizen, visitor or relative of any of the 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 boarders [sic] of Kenya and
shall be granted a competent lawyer of his/her choice at the expense of the
Government."
This provision would have created
Kenya as a safe haven for international Islamic terrorists -- all they would
have to do is hotfoot it to Kenya before being caught, and they'd be "home
free."
According to published reports,
U.S. Senator Barack Obama "bundled" nearly $1 million to support the
election of this man! Close behind him in contributions to the Odinga campaign
was the son of Libyan leader Moammar Qaddafi, who has publicly endorsed Barack
Obama.
And in a very curious twist, Dick
Morris, former Bill Clinton advisor, allegedly provided "pro bono"
(free) consulting services to the campaign. He may have provided services, but
we seriously doubt it was "pro bono." So if it was "pro
bono" to the campaign, who paid Morris?
Obama Tried to Hide the Connection?
In December 2006, Obama allegedly
sent e-mail to Odinga advising him that any future communication should go
through Obama staffer Mark Lippert "for my own security both for now and
in future."
We have some concerns about the
authenticity of that e-mail. Let's face it -- if Obama didn't want a connection
to be made between the two, would he really send such an e-mail from his Senate
e-mail address? Or suggest that Odinga communicate with one of his staffers?
We don't think Obama is that dumb.
And the language is a bit odd, like perhaps it was written by someone outside
the U.S.
We'll let you be the judge.
Obama Has Far Too Many Relationships with Radicals
This is another troubling chapter
in the book of Obama associates with radical views.
The fact that Barack Obama openly
campaigned for Raila Odinga and raised contributions for his campaign of nearly
a million dollars, given Odinga's agreement to the terms of the MOU with Muslim
leaders that would have essentially given the Taliban a new home in Kenya
should be enough to strike fear in the heart of every American voter.
James Carville has already suggested,
to Anderson Cooper on his CNN show Anderson Cooper 360, that the U.S. could be faced with similar rioting if
Obama does not win the U.S.
election. "You stop and contemplate this country if Obama goes in and he
has a consistent five point lead and loses the election, it would be very,
very, very dramatic out there."
Is he expressing concern that this
might happen, or does he know something we don't? Is this part of the Obama
strategy? Intimidate people into voting for Obama with threats of riots if he's
not elected? They're already intimidating people who indicate they don't intend
to vote for him -- go to the search bar at the bottom of this page and type in
"Obama truth squad."
Is THIS the kind of "CHANGE"
Barack Obama is promising America?
We cannot give this man the power
of the White House. He has repeatedly shown a serious lapse of judgment in the
selection of his "friends" and causes. If he's willing to back such a
radical as Odinga, with the kind of "change" Odinga agreed to
implement in Kenya, what
does Obama have in mind for America
once he's sworn in?
What kind of pact has Obama made
with whomever is behind all the money he's using to try to "buy" the
White House? Obama has raised unprecedented amounts of money for a Presidential
election, and it is now coming to light that much of it was contributed
illegally, some from foreign sources.
If his support of Odinga is an
example of his character and judgment, or the kind of "change" he has
in mind for America,
we don't want him answering the red phone at 3 a.m. or any other time!
Stand Up and Take Our Country Back --
We Can't Afford Obama's Brand of Change!

There's a curious discrepancy and/or inconsistency in this otherwise apparently undated article: The embedded video was uploaded to YouTube on Oct 19, 2008, which was BEFORE the U.S. Presidential election in which Barack Hussein Obama was declared the winner. However, a short
clip within this video, at ca. 5:05 mark, portrays Odinga speaking and referring to “PRESIDENT
Obama" when explaining that the Senior BHO was his [Odinga’s] maternal uncle.
