how does this sort of information get ignored by democrats?

However, the underlying (more important issues) are verifiably true. In August and September 2006, Senator Barack Obama traveled to South Africa, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Chad and Kenya as a congressional delegation of one (Codel Obama) (“Codel Obama” The Hill 9/7/2006) While in Kenya, Obama consistently appeared at the side of fellow Luo Raila Odinga (“your agent for change’), who was running for President. (“Senator Rebukes Kenya’s Corruption” Chicago Sun Times 8/29/2006) Because of his African heritage, Obama was treated as a virtual “Head of State” in Kenya While campaigning with Odinga, Obama was openly critical of governmental corruption under President Mibaki –usually a fair, if undiplomatic, criticism from an objective observer. However, Kibaki’s government has been better than most—and Odinga has his own corruption issues.( “Loud and Populist, But No Political Outsider” The Guardian 12/29/2007) Obama’s partisan support for Odinga was considered so transparent, that the Kenyan Government spokesman, Alfred Matua, complained of political posturing to aid Odinga’s election chances: “It is very clear that the senator has been used as a puppet to perpetuate opposition politics,”(“Walking The World Stage” Newsweek 9/11/06) And, “…we earlier thought he was mature in his assessment of Kenyan and African politics,” Mutua told AFP.”We forgive him because it is his first time in the Senate and he is yet to mature into understanding issues of foreign policy,” he said.”(“Obama’s Kenya Honeymoon Ends Abruptly After Graft Rebuke” 8/29/06) Subsequently, Ambassador Ogingo Ogego made a public complaint to the US.(“Kenyan Envoy Kicks Off Diplomatic Row” My Africa 9/27/2006) Raila Odinga subsequently lost the controversial (probably rigged) presidential election. In what appeared to many—including Human Rights Watch– as a coordinated strategy from the top, (“Violence We Fled was Planned, Say Kenyan Refugees” Reuters 1/26/2008 and “Kenya: Violence Planned Before Poll, Says Report” The Nation 3/18/2008) his Luo supporters (a core of whom call themselves The Taliban”(“Ethnic Gangs Rile Kenyan Slums” Newsweek 1/10/08)) engaged in what US Envoy Jendayi Frazer called “clear ethnic cleansing” (“US Envoy Calls Violence in Kenya ‘Ethnic Cleansing’” USA Today 1/30/2008) of the Kikuyu opposition. Odinga’s supporters went on a rampage—burning Kikuyu homes and businesses, (“Ethnic Cleansing in Luoland” The Economist 2/7/2008) raping Kikuyu women, and murdering everyone in their path—including at least 50 Christian Kikuyu woman & children who had sought refuge in a church. They burned them alive. (“Mob Burns Kenyans Seeking Refuge In Church” CNN 1/10/2008) “We have evidence that ODM [Odinga’s party] politicians and local leaders actively fomented some post-election violence,” Georgette Gagnon, acting Africa director for the New York based Human Rights Watch (HRW), said on Thursday.” (Violence We Fled was Planned, Say Kenyan Refugees” Ibid) So: who is Raila Odinga that Senator Obama would expend his political capital and risk the goodwill of half the population of Kenya? Their relationship is unclear. The BBC initially reported that Obama and Odinga were first cousins.(“Odinga Says Obama is His Cousin” 1/8/2008) The Obama campaign has since denied a familial relationship. Raila Odinga’s father Oginga Odinga was leader of the “Kenya People’s Union” and perceived as a “committed socialist” (“Oginga Odinga: Kenya’s Most Persecuted Politician” Kenya: Key Issues 8/21.2002). Odinga Sr. was also the political ally of fellow Luo; Barack Obama Sr.(The Risks of Knowledge (Ohio University Press, 2004) p. 182) What we do know about Odinga is not good. A former Minister of Energy, Odinga is reported to have been set up in the oil business by the al Bakri Group and Muammar Quaddafi (“How Rich is Raila-The ODM Kenya Presidential Aspirant?” African Press 4/26/2007) Abdel Qader Bakri (or- Abdulkader al Bakri) was listed on the infamous “Golden Chain”–an internal Al-Queda list of wealthy Saudi financial sponsors seized by Bosnian police in a Islamic “charity” raid in 2001. (“Terrorist Financing Staff Monograph 9/11 Commission and “The Golden Chain”) According to his website, Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany, (Herder Institute, Leipzig & Otto von Guericke Tech. Institute, Magdeburg) (http://www.raila07.com) Odinga’s eldest son is named “Fidel” (http://www.raila07.com) Perhaps most troubling is Odinga’s links to Islamic extremists in Kenya. According to Voice of America and the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, on 8/29/07, Odinga signed a secret agreement (exposed 11/27) with Sheikh Abdullah Abdi of the National Muslim Leaders Forum (NAMLEF) in which he agreed to institute Islamic law in exchange for Abdi’s support (eakenya.org)–thereby potentially disenfranchising and curtailing the liberties of millions of Christian Kenyan women. Further, he promised that Muslims suspected of terrorism would be safe from ex sweetjan, i deleted that part of the article at the top, for exactly this sort of response. if you go read the article, it addresses your "pants on fire" rating....nice try though. no, tony, you racist, i'm from Illinois. I got to see osama..er obama close up before any of you did, and I KNOW he's a criminal. Avro, i'm a libertarian. not a republican. I didn't even vote for Mccain. don't like him either, but at least he's not a criminal, like obama. I voted early, for Barr. what a shock. BOSTONIA.. it's an article from African Press International- yes i understand that your kneejerk is Everyone who doesn't worship obama is a neocon. IM (for the last time) A LIBERTARIAN AND I VOTED FOR BARR! But, I do live right under chitcago in illinois and happen to KNOW obama is a criminal. I'm just providing the warning, so that you cant say later "i didnt know"

Public Comments

Because the 'connection' has been denounced and proven false by valid sources...see: snopes.com and politifact.com. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/632/ http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/465/
I don't doubt that Obama will secretly give our tax dollars to African Countries
They don't want to see it, simple as that. If they knew about Odinga and Obama's support of him, they might begin to see things differently. And propaganda it is NOT. Obama went there, Obama supported him, Obama continued to communicate with him.
If you notice the liberal answers like shut up and the like, they dont want to hear it, makes them uncomfortable, oodles of $$ coming in from the Middle East and those groups mentioned above.
They see what they want to see, that is all there is to it. Watch, the same results will happen in America should Obama not win. Call for demonstrations that turn fatally violent! The campaigns are so similar it is unbelievable!! The essentially say the SAME thing! Odinga was know to endorse Communism - what does that say since Obama, at the tax payers expense, went there to endorse and campaign for him? inciting riots!
The Democrats only see one thing in their myopic little minds: The White House.
Kenyan politics is not an argument against a US candidate.
You're part of the republican propaganda machine aren't you? I wouldn't even be surprised to find out that you work at Fox "News".
Did you ever see a Spoiled two tear old put their hands over their ears ,kick and scream I won't listen to you!I don't want to hear it! Well thats the Democratic Party of today!
You hold a lot of hating. Change is coming. Just like you can ignore bigotry in the Republican Party and erratic behavior of McCain and disqualification of Palin. And oh yeah I did not read your ranting.
Desperate people take drastic action.
They watch mainstream media? They keep their eyes shut? To quote Nine Inch Nails.. slave screams he thinks he knows what he wants slave screams thinks he has something to say slave screams he hears but doesn't want to listen slave screams he's being beat into submission don't open your eyes you wont like what you see the devils of truth steal the souls of the free don't open your eyes take it from me i have found you can find happiness in slavery slave screams he spends his life learning conformity slave screams he claims he has his own identity slave screams he's going to cause the system to fall slave screams but he's glad to be chained to that wall ... i don't know what i am i don't know where i've been human junk just words and so much skin stick my hands thru the cage of this endless routine just some flesh caught in this big broken machine" * * * * * * People do not want to face the truth to the world around them. Please note, Im not a McCain supporter either. BOTH of those two canidates are SERIOUSLY FLAWED choices SUPPORTED by the Corporations that RUN this country. Elected officials mean nothing, if they can tell the leaders of our country, to give them money by taxing americans. That is what the bail out basically did. Made us work, for their profit. And BOTH MCCAIN AND OBAMA VOTED FOR THE "BAIL OUT"
When you have an image that is larger than life, then why get bogged down in reality? They ignore it because 'it", whatever 'it" may be, is not relevant to the generation and realization of the desired image. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" The Great OZ
Probably because Every candidate running for president has stuff the media outlet doesnt feel these issues need any attention
It's ignored by Democrats, Moderates, Independents and most Republicans because it's been proven to be utter BUNK and lacking in the slightest shred of truth. Nice job of cutting and pasting the neo-con and fundie drivel though. You are to be commended for you mousing skills. No soup for you! NEXT!
The Democrats see what they want to see, like Obama is qualified to be President.Then if they don't like it they make it up.Change may be coming but it won't be good if he wins. I love my country but I'm beginning to fear for our safety.
Be careful how you answer this douchebag. If he doesn't like your answer, he'll block you. Unfortunately for him, that means that only people who agree with him will get to see his rants and stupid comments. Therefore he won't be able to appeal to anyone outside of his circle. Nice job of isolating your opinions! LOL!
Took a lot of verbiage to try and make this red herring swim. Very obscure. It's the ECONOMY It' the US of A John McSame = Bush = More Disaster
Great research! Yes, of course, you're right. This entire election will be about George Soros's third attempt to install a puppet regime, to fulfill his promise that he would use every last dollar of his wealth to destroy America and turn it into a third world nation, because he despises and hates our freedom and wants to see socialism should rise to power. He failed with Gore, failed with Kerry, but has planned well to succeed with Obama. The Clintons weren't on board with Soros's plan to destroy America, so they were promptly dismissed. Obama, however, is a believer. And the media is dutifully ignoring all the things that helped Gore and Kerry lose. (Notice not a single word was said during any of the debates about the Second Amendment, for example.) Obama is loaded with questionable history. But none of it will be mentioned the Soros-directed moritorium has been lifted... AFTER the election. Democrats don't care. They just see this all as a rebuke of the Bush Administration. So they will get their celebration... and only afterwards realize what a huge mistake they made. And then they'll complain, "Well, why didn't anyone point these things out during all the time when he was running?" It's amazing to me how willingly people allow themselves to manipulated by the media, and by extension, by a single despot (Soros) who is bent on destroying the very freedom that they enjoy. I never thought we would be so gullible as a nation. I guess I was wrong.
