Odinga ate my saviour! appeared on our horizons with claims he is Obama’s cousin in a BBC news report in January of this year, two years after Obama visited his father’s homeland.

After the Standard in Kenya was burned, Obama decided to offer criticism of Kenya and the current president.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpvLV3d1Eq4[/youtube]
Earlier this year discord broke out in Kenya. Odinga backers burned a church and hacked 50 people to death, some of them women and children. Do we want Obama who is backed by a fellow LUO tribesman, Odinga as our president? Why hasn’t Obama condemned Odinga?
The second one is a story you will find everywhere. Obama played the race card AGAIN! Once again, he is accusing his opponent of using racial attacks. This time, Obama said (three different times, three different campaign stops) McCain was trying to scare voters away from him by pointing out he had “a funny name, and he doesn’t look like all the presidents on the dollar bills and the five dollar bills.” (ALL the presidents on the dollar bills? I thought we had ONE president on the dollar bill, and a different president on the five dollar bill - that makes two dudes.)
Well, actually, Obama does resemble Lincoln a bit. They are both tall and skinny. But, who does Obama think he is, to compare himself to two of our greatest presidents in history? He isn’t even President! Does he actually think he belongs on a bill? Maybe he should be on the $3 bill.
The race card will allow voters to once again focus on the issue of trust with Obama. He did it against Hillary, he did it in Germany, and now he is doing it against McCain. And, back to Germany - he said that he does not look like other Americans who have spoken there. Again, he is comparing himself to Reagan and Kennedy, who were PRESIDENTS. But other Americans have spoken in Germany, and *gasp* they were (whisper) black (Powell, Rice to name a couple). Obama has already crowned himself King, and keeps comparing himself to our most beloved Presidents. He really, really needs to stop doing that.
Jake Tapper schooled Obama for it, too, Did Obama Accuse McCain of Running a Racist, Xenophobic Campaign ?
Another controversy that is growing, and swirling is the Wailing Wall prayer *scandal*. American Thinker has a breakdown of how the events unfolded. I have also read on other pro-Obama blog (which I will not name here) that they believe he gave the prayer to the media as well. And you can see the video, of an Obama campaign worker, retrieving the prayer from the wall. It is linked to, in the story.
And, there was ANOTHER scandalish story brewing this week, this time involving an Obama fan. Did you see the video Ludacris made? If not, here it is. Of course, Obama’s camp gave the ol’ *wink wink* type of condemnation. (you know, “ya, know I’m just messing with you, man”).
Burton said in an e-mail statement Wednesday. “This song is not only outrageously offensive to Sen. Clinton, Rev. Jackson, Sen. McCain and President Bush, it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with the values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics.” So, in other words, *this is not the Ludacris we have known*. These are snipits from other Ludacris songs:
“Fuck That! Get the fuck back! Luda make your skull crack Tuck that Bitch, your whole town’s on my nutsack Cuff that Put it in your weed, nigga, puff that What’s that People gon’ die tonight”.
“Yeah come see this nigga come see this ol’ light-skinned mothafucka I seen him and I’m addicted disturbin tha peace is the clickplease tell these fake ass niggas who you are”
“You frostin’ like a flake and Ludacris feels grrreat! Who want come face me, face come want who? And women give me face until they’re face turns blue They can’t breathe, dick to mouth recessatation A tight squeeze witch stops the length to conversations”.
“You see I’m from a small town called “Fresh out a cop’s ass” Where Mr. Head-Potatoes are skinned they get mashed I smell puss from fifty yards Y’all not playin with full decks as if I jacked out ya Jacks and left fifty cards Catch me in Vegas spinnin’ the green”.
I’m not exactly sure what most of them say, but it doesn’t seem like this new song is that much different from his other ones…in fact, it seems more tame. I wonder if Obama will be deleting Ludacris from his iPod now?
And, I thought this one was most interesting. O’S TOUR DE FARCE - PHOTO OPS & FECKLESSNESS You really need to read the whole piece, but here is a snipit.
In private, though, Iraqi officials admit that Obama’s analysis is “way off the mark.” Without the surge, the Sunni tribes wouldn’t have switched sides to help flush out al Qaeda. And the strong US military presence enabled the new Iraqi army to defeat Iran-backed Shiite militias in Basra and Baghdad.
Nevertheless, in public at least, no Iraqi politician wants to appear more appreciative of American sacrifices than the man who may become the next US president.
Iraqis were most surprised by Obama’s apparent readiness to throw away all the gains made in Iraq simply to prove that he’d been right in opposing the 2003 overthrow of Saddam Hussein. “He gave us the impression that the last thing he wanted was for Iraq to look anything like a success for the United States,” a senior Iraqi official told me. “As far as he is concerned, this is Bush’s war and must end in lack of success, if not actual defeat.”
And if you ever wondered what, exactly, IS a community organizer, you can read this.
Oh, and one other thing. Rumors are swirling that the reason John Edwards endorsed Obama immediately after Hillary’s HUGE win in West Virginia, is because Obama threatened him with the baby scandal. It sure makes sense, to me. Edwards said for months that he would not endorse. And then BAM, out he comes. And then, now, the scandal comes out. Why? Well, it took me a few days to figure out why it would be leaked, but I don’t really think it was. I think National Enquirer really just caught him. They broke the story last year (wasn’t it right around the time John dropped out? I forget) so, they knew there was a story. They just couldn’t prove it. But, catching him in the hotel did it. And now, they have the birth certificate, and there is not a father listed.
So, I just want to say, I think America will forgive John his affair. After all, he does have a lot going on at home, and who knows what has been happening behind closed doors. We all have so much sympathy and respect for Elizabeth, but I wouldn’t doubt that she knows much more about this than anyone else. She seems very intelligent. My point it, she might very well have known about this from the beginning. People deal with trauma in different ways, I am not judging him for an affair. But, I will never forgive him, if he was blackmailed into supporting Obama, and never came forward with it. We know the story to be true, but out of respect for Elizabeth, the media is not talking about it. But, if John knows something about Obama, he needs to come forward. (I am not sure if this is coming across right….) Well, anyway, it sure was a busy week, chock full of WORMS (what Obama really means) and controversy, and scandal.
Can we have Hillary back now, please!?

Hillary May Un-Suspend Her Campaign!!!
If you haven’t heard the latest No We Won’t radio show you MUST check it out. a guy named Paul who works for the “Friends of Hillary” campaign office called in and gave us LOTS of amazing news! He said, Hillary is not giving up, that there is a very real effort to get Donna Brazille stripped of her credentials, which you can help with by visiting PUMA Pac that Hillary is going to make some type of announcement when the messiah goes on vacation, and she’s supposed to tell us more during her online chat with her supporters on Thurs. that’s TODAY Aug 7th at 12noon est. I believe you can join the chat by going to hillaryclinton.com
If you get this before the chat be sure to listen to the radio show first. Which you can do here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/no-we-wont
This was like THE BEST news I have heard since this whole thing started!
And be sure to spread the news!!!!
PUMA POWER!
KENYA’S “RESPONSE TO AMERICA SENATOR BARACK OBAMA’S POORLY INFORMED COMMENTS ABOUT TERRORISM, WANTED GENOCIDE CRIMINALS AND GOVERNANCE IN KENYA”
The link below is from the Office of Public Communications of the Republic of Kenya in response to Obama’s 2006 comments, WHILE VISITING KENYA, about “terrorism, wanted genocide, criminals and governance in Kenya.”
Kenya does not sound happy about Obama’s statements during his 2006 trip.
http://www.communication.go.ke/media.asp?id=284
More Logan Law violations to be investigated here? Senator (and I use that term loosely because he doesn’t seem to know which country his office is located in) Barack Obama should not be making policy statements or endorsing any political actions in foreign countries unless they are echoes of the United States Government as articulated by (sorry) George W. Bush! And I don’t recall Bush hopping on any Odinga bandwagons.
It doesn’t matter if the dictator-to-be is a cousin of Obama and he wants to help Odinga rule Kenya; he should promptly resign his “candidacy” and renounce his U.S. citizenship before “helping” Odinga. I think this is more evidence of the divided loyalties of dual citizenship and dual nationalities which has been hinted at in so many ways since Obama, against his better judgment (have to start running now and not qualified) started his ambitious primary takeover the same year he took his Senate oath of office.
His reluctance to pledge any allegiance to the United States of America transcends flag pins and saluting the flag (hand on heart) or the Pledge of Allegiance that he did not say as a child in elementary school. (My guess is he was pledging allegiance to Indonesia since he was enrolled in a public school in a police state.) And he certainly doesn’t “swell with pride” when he hears the National anthem which so eloquently describes our historic struggle but appears to only make Obama most uncomfortable. If one were paranoid, it could make one think that the cousins are in a ruthless race to see who acquires power first.
Good points.
This Odinga guy sounds like a character. His supporters burn churches, some say he wants to have Sharia law, and this is the man who supports Obama, calls Obama his cousin.
Seriously, does Obama have any normal friends?
They all seem to hate America, or leave Americans without heat in the winter or practice religious intolerance in Africa.
We need Hillary now more than ever.
Hillary 08
Sorry for being off-topic, but does anyone know what happened to the Andy Martin book? Did it come out yet? It seemed there was a lot of hype about it, then nothing.
socalannie,
You can find the Andy Martin book on:

More on the Olbermann-Milbank dispute:
I can’t stand Olbermann. He’s turned into everything he hates about O’Reilly. Milbank is lucky to be out of that rats nest.
Bad choice of words on my part…I apologize to any rats & rat owners for comparing them to KO & his ilk.
I agree with your Olbermann-O’Reilly comparison.
It’s funny seeing Milbank take a few punches at Olbermann though.
It is funny. Thanks for sharing that item.
He’s turned into everything he hates about O’Reilly.
That’s it, precisely.
I still want to know, regardless of Odinga’s connections and affiliations: What was a U.S. Senator doing campaigning in a foreign election?
Did the State Department know? When did they know?
I’ve googled online regularly, but all I can find is defenses of Odinga, why he’s not so bad, the good stuff Obama did in Kenya.
But I can find nothing addressing the appropriateness of Obama’s campaign involvement.
Can senators go out and free-lance like that? What if it backfires? Is America on the hook?
Your Google-fu needs to be fine-tuned towards places where people wouldn’ tnormally look. There are Kenyan blogs and online communities–much like how this blog/NoQ is the reporter of things that the media wants to supress–that speak the truth about how it is in Kenya. I know I read one when I was looking up the whole Odinga/Sharia Law thing. Try looking up that on Google, maybe you’ll find the same documents and such that I did (two different documents, one was official, but then Odinga “retracted” the validity of it and then his crackpot people (much like Axelrove) put out some malarky paper that was supposed to’ve been the “real” document/contract between him and the Islamists in Kenya).
There’s a movie out with Tom Hanks Charlie Turner’s War, I think its called. It’s a true story about a guy in Congress who had a lot to do with getting Russia defeated in Afghanistan by himself because congress wouldn’t act. So apparently some people in congress to get involved in other countries. However I have no clue if its legal or constitutional.
It’s Charlie Wilson’s War.
Thanks.
Charlie Wilson was on Committees and acting within his capacity so to speak. Campaigning for Politicians in foreign countries is a way different deal…..INFLUENCE PADALLING….KINDA LIKE ILLEGAL FOREIGN $$ CONTRIBUTIONS….Dig what I’m sayin ?
I want to give trist major props for putting up that link.
please go check this out if you want to hear some good news about Hillary. PUMA is having a real effect and a fresh breeze is a blowin’!

BREAKING NEWS TO ADD TO THE ODINGA SAGA:
OBAMA SENT DICK MORRIS OVER TO ASSIST ODINGA WITH HIS CAMPAIGN AND MORRIS WAS DENIED ACCESS.
THIS IS TRUTH RESEARCH IT.
WHO PAID FOR DICK MORRIS TO GO TO KENYA TO HELP ODINGA?
WELL, LET’S SEE……..
OBAMA’S CAMPAIGN?
Morris said he did the work pro bono:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyprn8P8FaU
Of course, I don’t believe Morris would ever go to Kenya and work pro bono.
He may have been paid state-side by Obama or something, but publically he denies it.
Maybe Obama offered him 100 women who like to have their toes sucked.
Have you heard the phrase “under the table”? It’s where you get cash without that odious papertrail that leads to evidence.
Anna,
Corsi answers your questions in The Obama Nation, now a best seller! More information than you’ll EVER want….
Dick Morris was Odinga’s campaign advisor in Kenya..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyprn8P8FaU
Thanks American Woman for the link.
I did not know this (being Odinga’s campaign mgr) about Dick Morris.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Morris
If I were Odinga…I would be very worried about
e v e r giving even the slightest impression that I crossed Morris.
This man H A T E S the Clintons with a passion. Read how this all came about…
Isn’t making speeches in foreign country that go against the United States considered treason? Correct me, please, if I am wrong. Otherwise, why isn’t this fact making it to cold, hard headlines?
It is illegal for sitting US Politicians to actively campaign for foreign Politicians.
Maybe Obama will try to slither out on the grounds that he wasn’t actually working as a Senator. Which we know, he hasn’t done a lick of work and shouldn’t even be in the Senate.
Sounds like Barack’s MO. Didn’t the dirt come out on two of his opponents for Senate? Ryan and some other guy that had messy divorces? Then you have his start in Illinois where he had is minions throw out signatures on his opponents petitions in order to run unopposed. Has this guy ever run a race where he put forth a platform so the voters could compare him to his opponent? BTW: Hope&Change isn’t a platform.
Fascist is as Fascist does…..nuff said….
I believe that was one of the major reasons cited for the impeachment of Clinton was that his affair might lead to blackmail. So now we’re willing to let a person who is accused of blackmailing another candidate into supporting him become a presidential nominee without a Ken Starr type investigation? Guess caution goes right out the window if the potential blackmailer is named Barack Obama.
(And, yes, that endorsement was sudden and made no sense in light of what both Edwards and his wife were saying at that point, especially about the importance of health care. Edwards didn’t even push Obama to adopt his health care policies in exchange for his endorsement.)
Seems likely. Edwards didn’t exactly look happy about BO and the timing was suspect. I wonder also about Richardson, if he could have been blackmailed. He sure has not acted like his convictions were sincere either. (that’s my alternate interpretation to the idea that he really is a Judas. He looked more like a sacrificial goat to me.)
“So, I just want to say, I think America will forgive John his affair. After all, he does have a lot going on at home, and who knows what has been happening behind closed doors. We all have so much sympathy and respect for Elizabeth, but I wouldn’t doubt that she knows much more about this than anyone else. She seems very intelligent. My point it, she might very well have known about this from the beginning. People deal with trauma in different ways, I am not judging him for an affair”
This is the typical response to excuse a bast*rd. A bastard like Edwards. Well so I think he deserves to be judged for his acts like whatever other person.
Agree, Aline.
This is a man who had an affair while running for President, talked a staff member into claiming he was the real father, secretly slipped money to the mother, and most importantly……
Cheated on a terrific wife while she had cancer.
He deserves to be judged for his own deceitful choices.
I agree with these sentiments condemning John Edwards’s behavior. He did not just cheat on Elizabeth, he cheated on all of us that he preached to about our moral obligations towards our fellow men and women.
Once again a public figure has proven that the louder a person is at proselytizing morality, the more likely they are to lack any moral character or courage.
The louder they clamor for us to be above any flaw, the greater they are deeply immersed in their own moral decadence.

Ted Stevens, and other evangelicals - Sex, drugs, embezzlement

And the whopper award goes to Barack Hussien Obama - Post Partisan, Post Racial, Agent of Change, Washington Outsider, and Different Brand of Politician.
It is not up to me to forgive John Edwards, that is up to his family and his God.
I have lost all respect for Edwards, and no amount of forgiveness will change that.
I dont know what to say about Sen Edwards’ actions.
If he was indeed involved in an affair, his wife may have known about it and condoned it. You or I may not agree with this form of behavior but…really….we dont know their personal circumstances.
The love and understanding two people may have for each other is difficult for us outsiders to comment on.
I respect Mrs Edwards very much. I do not know how poor her health is. No one knows how much longer we have on this earth.
I can’t eliminate the possibility that Mrs Edwards love for her husband goes beyond boundaries that we may have set for our significant others in our personal relationships.
If the affair has been going on…perhaps Mrs E was helping her husband prepare for transition? I know of cases where this has occured when spouse was terminally ill.
I dont know..Even if I did know, I have no right to judge…
I am more focused on seeing that Sen Clinton gets on the ballot so that American citizens’s right to vote for the best candidate is not compromised.
{I had posted this on another thread yesterday or the day before but seems relevant here}
I write this post with the curiosity about US history. Take a look at the picture below — I think it was Obama’s ‘06 trip to Africa, perhaps campaigning for his cousin Odinga (the speech transcripts are not available, I hear). Historians on the board — have there been other presidents or presidential candidates who were closely related some other foreign country campaigning for a candidate from that country in their elections? {I have a feeling Article II goes much beyond the citizenship issue. It requires one to have deep roots and unequivocal allegiance in this country — appearance and all for that number one position.}

From the looks of it, Kenyans take their celebrations to a higher level than the Blacks in the US.
In the US, Blacks celebrate major victories and losses with indiscriminate gunfire, setting cars ablaze, smashing windows, and looting stores.
Kenyans celebrate with burning down houses and indiscriminate mutilation and killing.
Even so, with supporters like William Ayers, the Black Hip Hop Culture, JayZ and Ludicris, O’boy’s losing ceremony is sure to be filled with pyrotechnics and mayhem.
American Girl in Italy-
Good article. Thanks for all the links too.
http://www.windycitizen.com/2008/07/ask-a-community-organizer-what-is-community-organizing-anyway
I was particularly interested in the article link that dealt with what it means, exactly, to be a community organizer and how effective these people can be if given a chance to lead.
My concern is this…I really dont know if sen obama learned anything from his experience as a community organizer. I dont know how far back Sen Obama’s relationships with his various handlers go so I dont know who ran his show.
I know very little about Sen Obama’s past because he has released so few legal or official documents for public inspection so…if as the author of the article you link to is correct in saying that
“if you are a community organizer and want to organize an area, you first try to meet with as many indigenous leaders as possible, the kinds of men and women who populate neighborhood churches and civic groups that others will listen to and naturally follow. The purpose of these one-on-one meetings is not to become their friend. You want to find out what their self-interest is so you can use it. This includes milking their personal connections to expand your base of support. As a community organizer, the sole source of your power is your relationships. And the more people you have in your pocket, the more likely it is that you can use them to get what your base wants. ”
I have a question then as this relates to Sen Obama- Since we know so VERY LITTLE about him and he has a paper thin list of accomplishments that can be directly, 100% linked to his direct efforts… then I ask …who is Sen Obama’s base? His real base?
And…what is Sen Obama trying to get for this base?
What is Sen Obama passionate about in the arena of social and economic justice and fairness ? What in his past can be used as an indicator of this [passion?
And my last question concerns politicians and delegates who formerly supported Sen Clinton but switched at the last moment to Sen Obama- how did Sen Obama get these politicians in his pocket? What did he learn about them? What is in their self interest that they want so badly that they were able to toss aside their loyalty to Sen Clinton & her work for our country-and…support Sen Obama? What did he offer them in exchange for their vote-what did Sen Obama offer these former Clinton supporters-supporters who shared similiar values, public mission statements and work ethics as HRC… that Sen Clinton could not have offered them too?
Interesting…didn’t Hillary talk about how Obama could end up being used as a propaganda tool if he didn’t meet leaders with conditions? Well, one of the men in the video points out he is being used as a stooge.
Gee…yet another thing she was right on.
Moookay, this is just weird. Something in my post just isn’t posting.
I’m trying to post this link. I hope it works this time.
Hmm, the link worked, but the original post didn’t. This is just weird, because I don’t know what in my original post was off-limits, but I was trying to emphasize this part of the article:
“After the public outcry, Odinga denied signing a secret agreement. Angry at Odinga’s apparent repudiation, a member of NAMLEF subsequently released the agreement to the press. Odinga then claimed the document was a forgery, but acknowledged a secret agreement had been signed in exchange for Muslim support. Finally, under constant pressure, Odinga released what he claimed was the actual document (“Real” MOU) a considerably watered down version of the original; but still anathema to many Christian groups. “In response to the revelations, The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya released a statement in which church leaders said Raila, in both MOUs, ‘comes across as a presumptive Muslim president bent on forcing Islamic law, religion and culture down the throats of the Kenyan people in total disregard of the Constitutionally guaranteed rights of freedom of worship and equal protection of the law’” (“Concerns Raised Over Alleged Vow To Enforce Islamic Law in Kenya” Christian Post 12/18/2007) To many westerners, the idea of imposing Sharia in a predominantly Christian country may have seemed fanciful. However, Kenya has had Sharia courts for family law (not criminal law)—called Khadi courts—since 1963.”
Think about what else we’ve been studying re: 1963 and Barack Sr. and make the connection yourselves.
