Why are some people saying Obama did not support Odinga?

when there is proof? Are his FOLLOWERS THAT BLIND? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6eVVVKFH... The mainstream media has justified ignoring this story based on a “conspiracy theory” chain email (politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements... making the rounds from some African missionaries. Politifact.com examined the email—which claims Obama gave $1MM to Odinga’s campaign—and declared it “a pants on fire”. 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1P_P8lBC... 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) VIOLENCE BROKE OUT AFTER ODINGA LOST can we expect the same thing here? Odinga also claimed he was a christian but did this in private: 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 extradition—thereby establishing a ‘safe haven’ for terrorists in Kenya SO AGAIN IS THAT SOMETHING WE CAN EXPECT FROM OBAMA? http://africanpress.wordpress.com/2008/0...

1. And Castro supports Obama.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCpUxoseopY
2. Castro isn't bad. He has health care for his citizen even though they have poverty and economic sanctions against them - their life expectancy exceeds our nation. More importantly, Clinton had ties to bad people, Bush still has a pending SEC investigation to insider trading on him, Cheney former company made billions in Iraq without normal competitive bidding for contracts and Palin inappropriate used her power to take out personal family in-law issues on public officials. If these things are important to you - start a publicity campaign. I don't think people care anymore as he could parade around town with Castro & Chavez as long as issues affecting me are improved or dealt with.
3. Do you know about the Bush ties to Osama Bin Laden? There is a reason this stuff doesn't come up and that reason is scarier than the stuff you post. The Republicans don't attack with this stuff because Obama has far more against them. McCain won't bring up Wright for a reason and won't bring up Ayer's with much ado for good reason. He's hiding something that he doesn't want brought up or he knows for a fact that there is no connection. There is no logical reason to otherwise, as he is, throw away an election.
4. Obama is very charismatic, and could support such violence without making it obvious to the general public. He is not the right person for the job as President. I really hope the American people get informed and read about him and his history before voting blindly. We should vote for who can run our country and and protect us from further harm. We should not vote for someone who is his own special interest group. Obama does NOT have my vote this election. He does not have America's best interest at heart.
