Barack Obama campaigned for Raila Odinga in 2006 »
Posted By Klarissa 8 months, 4 weeks ago in NewsWhy did Barack Obama, in 2006, as a member of the United States Senate, go to Kenya at taxpayer expense, and campaign for Raila Odinga.
Odinga lost the election.
From cnn:
The deaths in Kenya came as opposition supporters fought with police firing tear gas and live ammunition.
They were protesting the government's announcement Sunday that voters had re-elected President Mwai Kibaki with 51.3 percent of the vote, compared with 48.7 percent for Raila Odinga, the opposition leader.
Valley town of Naivasha on Sunday, where the Red Cross said there were reports of people being burned alive in their homes.
The Associated Press said more than 300 people were dead amid reports of horrific attacks, including the torching of a church where people who had sought refuge were burned alive.
Kenyan government officials said at least 209 people had so far been killed and around 75,000 forced to flee their homes as gangs of machete-wielding young men roamed the streets.
Witnesses told CNN Monday that they had seen widespread violence in the Nairobi slum of Kibera as angry Odinga supporters set fire to buildings. Police attempted to hold them back with tear gas and water cannon, witnesses said.

Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) lost the election.
Reply
Hundreds of opponents of the Orange Democratic Movement supporters died in fighting sparked by last month's presidential election, which Odinga's supporters insist was rigged to ensure Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki's re-election.
Bloody street battles often have involved machetes. The government says 600 to 650 people have been killed, while the opposition says at least 1,000 have died. The Kenyan Red Cross Society puts the number at 863.
More than 200,000 people have been displaced in the turmoil, according to the Red Cross.-

Corruption again at the forefront of Kenya's presidential election
NAIROBI, Kenya: Corruption is part of daily life in Kenya, from crooked cops demanding bribes to lawmakers who drain public coffers for personal gain.
Five years after President Mwai Kibaki swept into office on promises to stamp out graft, the issue is once again at the forefront as Kibaki tries to win re-election Thursday in the closest race in Kenya's history.
"Kibaki gave people high hopes five years ago, but the government failed to get rid of corruption," Steve Mugo, a taxi driver in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, said Wednesday. "The police are still corrupt, they're all corrupt."....

Election fraud and violence
While European tourists are sunbathing at the beaches of the Indian Ocean, the country is shattered by violence between the supporters of the opposition presidential candidate, Raila Odinga, and those of President Kibaki, the police and the military. The Kenyan presidential elections, on 27 December, caused the biggest riots the country has witnessed since the fall of the former dictator, Daniel arap-Moi...
In 2002, Kibaki was elected successor of former dictator Daniel arap-Moi who had ruled the country for 20 years. Many Kenyans, who longed for democratisation, less corruption and a rise of living standards, pinned their hopes on Kibaki. However, the situation for the majority did not improve. Only a small elite, surrounding the president and those controlling the commanding heights of the economy, benefited form the economic upswing, which was constantly at around 6% per year, during the last six years. The majority of Kenyans still live below the poverty line. Kibaki did nothing to stop proliferating corruption. A big part of the national budget is going to the private pockets of ministers and leading officials; the head of the national anti-corruption authority had to flee to England to protect his life. “The government’s policies in the last years were not orientated on improving the living standard of the people, but to support the economy which guarantees that only the small upper class is profiteering,” stated Walter Schicho, professor at the Africa-institute at the University of Vienna. As well as this, the Kenyan government is conducting “hidden intervention” into the Somali civil war and supports Ethiopian troops occupying Somalia....

Riots erupt after Kenya's president re-elected
Kenya's government has suspended all live television broadcasts as violence engulfed Nairobi following the re-election of incumbent president Mwai Kibaki.
A senior official from the Kenyan Television Network said it had been ordered to stop live broadcasts as rioters went on the rampage.
Kenyan television had earlier broadcast an address from the chairman of the electoral commission announcing that Kibaki had narrowly defeated Raila Odinga, of the opposition Orange Democratic Movement, winning by slightly more than 231,000 votes of the more than 8.9 million votes cast.
A top media executive said on condition of anonymity that the decision to suspend broadcasts had "taken back democratic process by 15 years."
Police denied there had been violence following the announcement of the result, which was contested by Odinga's party who accused the government of "doctoring" the count.-

We also have to have honest election officials. In the US there is far greater evidence of vote rigging and suppression of voters than of problems with voter registration.

ACORN Smear is Effort to Cover Up Massive GOP Push to Undermine 2008 Elections Through Coast-to-Coast Vote Suppression!
... The ongoing Republican attack on the lawful voter registration efforts of ACORN is a "desperate smokescreen maneuver" masking an extensive coast-to-coast GOP push to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters through a wide range of vote suppression tactics, according to Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, former lieutenant governor of the state of Maryland and a member of the board of advisors of NoVoterLeftBehind.net ( http://www.NoVoterLeftBehind.net).
Urging concerned Americans to get involved through NoVoterLeftBehind.net, Kennedy Townsend said: "The attack on the voter registration efforts of ACORN may go down in the record books as the ultimate case of the 'dirty' pot calling the 'clean' kettle black. ACORN is being savaged for doing its duty to openly self-report all cases where there may be any kind of issue with specific voter registration forms. By contrast, the GOP is skulking around out of the public eye across the nation in a sub rosa attempt to use a host of outrageous and desperate vote suppression tactics to steal the election."
She added: "For every potentially problematic ACORN voter registration form that will never result in anyone casting an illegitimate vote, there are literally hundreds of voters who the GOP will go to any lengths to keep out of the voting booth. This attack on ACORN is a sad and deeply cynical tactic coming from a party that seems to have concluded that they can't win the election on their own, so they have to prevent the other side from voting." ...

Odinga's party accused the government of "doctoring" the results.
Reply
Odinga claimed the official counts from 48 out of a total 210 constituencies were flawed, saying that around 300,000 votes were in dispute.
He also introduced an official from the commission who said he witnessed vote-rigging by staff at the commission's headquarters.
The official said he had been asked to sign off returns from polling stations from Kenya's eastern coastal region that he claimed had been deliberately altered by commission staff.-

Jihad fantasies of Obama, Dick Morris and Kenya
.... In the Muslim-rumor laboratories of the Internet, stories have circulated for months of an evil pact--not between Obama and the Wall Street donors you would think to look at, but between Obama and Raila Odinga, Kenya's goateed socialist opposition leader and Obama's fellow Luo. In 2007, a disputed election brought on riots and murder, which Corsi would like to blame on the Democratic senator.
Odinga, as it turns out, is an Anglican. And his promise to Muslims to blanket Kenya in Islamic sharia law appears only in a document that seems, at first glance, to be a shoddy forgery created by his enemies.
... DURING A 2006 TRIP TO KENYA, the story goes, Obama had campaigned for Odinga, his fellow Luo, so ardently that an government spokesman (representing the corrupt Kibaki regime) had accused the senator of being a "stooge." Celeste Davis, an influential missionary in Africa who has been profiled in the Wall Street Journal, is credited with an e-mail missive that tries to link the Kenya riots to Obama's alleged true nature as an Islamist who plans to bring on a "race war" akin to the tribal fighting in Kenya. Davis also claimed the senator gave $1 million to help his evil Muslim cousin campaign for a power-sharing agreement. And on Sean Hannity's site, someone has written: "This puts both Obama and Odinga right up there in a pantheon with Idi Amin!"
Which would put George W. Bush and Condoleeza Rice up there, too; the president has backed the power-sharing agreement between Odinga and his rival, incumbent Mwai Kibaki, who has become a controversial figure for allowing his constituents to be renditioned to Guantanamo Bay and various abusive countries.

Kenya's presidential election should be re-run
After rioting that has taken around 350 lives and driven at least 100,000 people from their homes, Kenya's opposition leader has made a sensible suggestion for defusing the greatest crisis faced by the country since independence.
Raila Odinga, head of the Orange Democratic Movement, has proposed the formation of an interim government whose sole purpose would be to prepare for a re-run of last week's rigged presidential election within three months. His idea deserves the wholehearted support of the United States, Britain and its European Union partners.
The fraudulent tallying of votes, attested by EU observers, is such that nothing less will spare Kenya indefinite political instability and economic decline....

US anti-Obama book author faces Kenya deportation: officials
The American author of a best-selling book blasting White House hopeful Barack Obama on Tuesday faced deportation from Kenya after being detained by security officials.
Corsi was to detail how Obama helped Raila Odinga -- now Kenya's prime minister -- in his 2007 presidential bid, which he claimed was to exploit "anti-Kikuyu sentiments," according to the WorldNet Daily for which he writes.
The Kikuyus are Kenya's most populous tribe and to which President Mwai Kibaki belongs. Kenya plunged into weeks of ethnic violence after Odinga charged that Kibaki had unfairly won the December 2007 polls.
In a press release distributed earlier this week, Corsi announced he would "expose deep secret ties between between US Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama and a section of the Kenyan government leaders."

Kenya: Why The Election Was Worth Stealing
Let us not mince words: President Mwai Kibaki and his ruling party stole Kenya’s presidential election. But that’s not all they stole: Kibaki’s clique is steeped in high-level corruption. If they stole the election, it may well have been so that they can keep on stealing the country blind.
Other governments do not publicly condemn this double steal. Understandably: they could hardly retain diplomatic entrée with President Kibaki by naming him for what he is -- the Godfather of a gang of thieves. So the European Union criticizes electoral "irregularities." Britain’s Prime Minister helpfully suggests new elections. The United States Assistant Secretary of State for Africa urges Kibaki and the real winner of the election – opposition leader Raila Odinga – to work things out. And Ghana’s President John Kufour is in Nairobi to mediate on behalf of the African Union.
Blessings on all of them. With hundreds of Kenyans killed in the two weeks since the election, and a quarter of a million displaced by the violence, the country desperately needs a peaceful solution.
But the world should be under no illusions about what really happened in Kenya’s December 27 elections, or why. If we misread the crisis as just another outbreak of African tribal rivalries, or an electoral dustup between competing politicians, we will miss the underlying realities that threaten to destabilize what had been a relative island of tranquility in Africa.
There are few better case studies than Kenya to show the links between integrity in government, electoral democracy, and human rights. Unfortunately, Kenya teaches this lesson in the negative: it reveals how corruption leads to electoral fraud which, in turn, leads to massive human rights violations....

Obama's Kenya ghosts
About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze. They were mostly women and children. Those who tried to flee were hacked to death by machete-wielding members of a mob numbering 2,000.
The 2008 New Year Day atrocity in the Kenyan village Eldoret, about 185 miles northwest of Nairobi, had all the markings of the Rwanda genocide of a decade earlier.
By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. More than 500,000 were displaced by the religious strife. Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.
The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who lost the Dec. 27, 2007, presidential election by more than 230,000 votes. Odinga supporters began the genocide hours after the final election results were announced Dec. 30. Mr. Odinga was a member of Parliament representing an area in western Kenya, heavily populated by the Luo tribe, and the birthplace of Barack Obama's father.
Odinga had the backing of Kenya's Muslim community heading into the election. For months he denied any ties to Muslim leaders, but fell silent when Sheik Abdullahi 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. Mr. Odinga then denied his denials.
Initially, Mr. Odinga was not the favored opposition candidate to stand in the 2007 election against President Mwai Kibaki, who was seeking his second term. However, he received a tremendous boost when Sen. Barack Obama arrived in Kenya in August 2006 to campaign on his behalf. Mr. Obama denies that supporting Mr. Odinga was the intention of his trip, but his actions and local media reports tell otherwise.
Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Mr. Obama's six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya and Mr. Obama spoke on behalf of Mr. Odinga at numerous rallies. In contrast, Mr. Obama had only criticism for Kibaki. He lashed out against the Kenyan government shortly after meeting with the president on Aug. 25. "The [Kenyan] people have to suffer over corruption perpetrated by government officials," Mr. Obama announced.
"Kenyans are now yearning for change," he declared. The intent of Mr. Obama's remarks and actions was transparent to Kenyans - he was firmly behind Mr. Odinga.

... Early on he named John Githongo, leader of Kenya’s chapter of Transparency International, to head the government’s Office of Governance and Ethics. This was a hopeful sign: Githongo is a credible, highly respected figure.
But by 2005, frustrated by Kibaki’s failure to enact real reforms. Githongo quit. After his life was repeatedly threatened, he fled to asylum in Britain.
Meanwhile corruption in Kenya went from bad to worse. Transparency International’s 2006 Corruption Perceptions Index gave Kenya an abysmal rating – 142 out of 163 countries surveyed. The 2006 Kenya Bribery Index found that corruption overall had increased by about 20% since the first year of Kibaki’s administration.
Even from a distance, Githongo kept a watchful eye. In 2006 he issued a report documenting that corruption had reached top levels of Kibaki’s government. Several cabinet ministers were forced to resign. Kibaki’s Vice President was implicated as well.
How did the government follow up? By firing the chief investigator of the country’s Anti-Corruption Commission, just as he was preparing a report for Kibaki detailing the extent of corruption by senior ministers.
The December 27 election threatened to end the gravy train. Pre-election polls showed opposition leader Raila Odinga well ahead of Kibaki. In the parliamentary elections held the same day, Odinga’s party won three times as many seats as Kibaki’s. Fourteen of Kibaki’s ministers, as well as his Vice President, failed to hold their seats.
Yet even as his party took a drubbing, official results claimed that Kibaki somehow survived the slaughter. But not credibly. ...

The first news I remember seeing about Odinga didn't have Obama connected to it, I can't remember for sure, but I think it was CNN. The video they had was enough to turn my stomach. It's only recently I've seen the youtube vids of Obama on stage with Odinga campaigning. In my mind, it's more of the election rigging in our country by misnamed news organizations.

Stop it. Stop repeating this crap. Seek knowledge for yourself. You might find out that Odinga is not a communist or muslim. You might find out what he stands for, a democratic way of life for his people. This mindless commentary by people like Hyman needs to be checked and checked again. Anyway all this violence came after the Dec 07 election, an election the Odinga rightfully thought that was stolen from him. Most independent observers concurred with him.

With Ayres he set up groups that had Ayres revolution style ideas about education with a lot of money from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge where he wrote the checks. They also funded ACORN with money as well. He also worked with Ayres on the Woodes foundation doing some of the same thing. Again not acquaintances but spending money with the same point of view.
With Rezco he had a long standing relationship since before he went to Harvard. When he came back he worked for the firm that Rezco hired. Rezco helped him into politics and mysteriously the opponents were disqualified because of not enough signatures. Just coincidence? He wrote letters for Rezco and got a sweetheart deal buying the house brokered by Rezco. Obama fought bipartisan effort to clean up corruption in Chicago. Thus helping Rezco and Daley. Again not acquaintances but working with and for Rezco and the Chicago machine.
Then there is Rev. Wright. The friend and mentor for 20 years that preached black racism and anti American sermons. Not an acquaintance but the closeness of a friend and mentor.
Then you rant about guilt by association like a classmate convicted of murder. These were not distant relationships but very close relationships that worked towards a common goal.
Try again.

Which one? No, I'm not. If you have credible information he has championed socialism I'd like to be able to look it up. I'll call him out as loudly as anyone if that is true, but it won't change my vote this cycle. Obamas record in Illinois is there for all to see, and it's not good. I don't agree with his stand on abortion, not just what he's said on the campaign trail, his support for the Freedom of Choice Act that removes any and all restrictions on abortion, that he has said will be a top priority. The reality of abortion is not what he and Donna Brazil say it is. It has become a method of birth control in place of other methods of birth control. That is wrong. Late term abortion is wrong, partial birth abortion is wrong. I personnaly don't advocate for all abortion to be banned, but as it's practiced now is infanticide.

Obama has not been completely forthcoming (honest) about this matter just like he has not completely forthcoming (honest) about many other matters.
Reply
During last night's debate Obama had the opportunity to be completely forthcoming about his associations with William Ayers and ACORN but he wasn't. During NBC's post-debate discussion, the panel agreed that Obama outright LIED about his association with Ayers and didn't divulge the full extent of his association with ACORN.
Additionally, as McCain pointed out, Obama broke his campaign promises (oral and written) to accept FEC funding for the general election and to debate him (McCain) anytime and anywhere.
There is no better example of 'Guilt by Association' or 'You are judged by the company you keep' other than Obama's repeated "Eight years of Bush's failed policies" association of McCain with Bush. Yet, Obama says it's negative/sleasy campaigning for McCain to associate him with Reverend Wright, TUCC, Ayers and/or ACORN -- hypocrite.
Last night's debate was just another example of why Obama isn't fit to be POTUS. The reason isn't Obama's associations or policies but, rather, the reason is his repeated (i.e., not just during last night's debate) self-demonstrated lack of honesty and trustworthyness.

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.
Reply
Obama campaigned for Odinga in August of 2006,just before he filed with the US Federal Elections Commission for his presidential candidacy.
The idea was simply to have the Luo tribe, mostly Muslims, to take over Kenya from the inheritors of colonial power, the Kikuyu, and bring the country under Sharia law, kick out the Western investors in the nation that had made it one of the most stable nations in Africa, and supplant those Western investors with wealthy Arab oil money.It all failed.Then Odinga yelled election fraud, and put his Luo Islamofascists into the streets of Nairobi to “protest” by murdering, raping and maiming Kikuyu people, including the recent burning alive of a church full of Christians.
