Barack Obama & Raila Odinga

Posted on October 6, 2008

Isn’t it a shame the American media have not reported anything about Obama campaigning for a radical, socialist revolutionary in Kenya at the taxpayer’s expense?

    I have posted a link above which leads to the biography of Bill Ayers, in which you can also read his curriculum vitae.

    It is a wretched, pathetic campaign to use fear mongering and outright lies to link Barack Obama with terrorist activity. Sarah Palin does NOT “represent the very best America has to offer”. She represents what America should be very ashamed of: trying to irrationally exacerbate our fears to capitalize on them in getting elected.

    I will state that the radical activism of the Weathermen was abhorrent, and they went far past the line of acceptability in rightly fighting the Vietnam War. Ayers was not convicted of a single crime connected to terrorist activities. This doesn’t mean he is free from criticism. He did some very dastardly things of which any person should be supremely ashamed of. In all fairness, he might not show enough remorse for these actions. However, these actions have NOTHING to do with Barack Obama, and they happened when Obama was 8 years old.

    What Palin fails to tell you is that Ayers, in his adult life since his early transgressions, has built his life around servitude of the public good and in helping to make real educational progress. His resume is long and impressive in the POSITIVE things he has done for his community, state and nation.

    I would hope that we are mature enough to realize the measure of a man is the sum of his deeds. For the few truly awful actions this man did in his youth, he has done far more in his maturity to make the world better. The Bible gives us the story of the Prodigal Son. Whether or not Ayers is a prime example, I am not here to argue. However, Palin would have you rush to judge Barack Obama in negative light and fear based on his very brief work with Ayers on an educational reforms committee. This is work for which both men should be applauded, not condemned. It is quite sad that Palin thinks people are stupid enough not to realize the difference. Even more depressing is that she might be right.

    I encourage you to visit the site hosting Ayers’ biography and resume. Do not allow yourself to be made fearful by this zealot who wants nothing more than to turn your fears into her own power.

    Somebody doesn’t know what servitude means.

  3. Yossarian on October 6th, 2008 9:02 pm

    It is true that Ayers was not convicted of any crimes; however, he did admit to them. That is good enough for me.

  4. RogerCfromSD on October 6th, 2008 9:44 pm

    Someone who is “unrepentant” and who actively works to radicalize students and teachers is not a man deserving of a “break.”

    So what if he’s: “built his life around servitude of the public good and in helping to make real educational progress. His resume is long and impressive in the POSITIVE things he has done for his community, state and nation.”

    Bull. He has done nothing of value for the country. And, apparently, for his community; as evidenced by the horrible educational system in Chicago.

    Ayers has never paid his price for his crimes. He wishes he did more to usurp the country. He is a radical still.

    Obama has collaborated with him for ten years. Therefore, Obama willingly associated with a terrorist.

    There is absolutely no excuse for either man.

  5. Sandra M on October 6th, 2008 10:17 pm

    Bill Ayers and Obama spent $60 million dollars and did not teach children to read, the one skill which would have enabled them to learn on their own. Instead, they tried to radicalize them.

    Improving the lives of the poor is not what communism is about. Communism thrives when people are wretched and ANGRY. And stirring up their anger is what ACORN and community “activism” are all about.

    The housing projects Obama and Rezko worked on are now boarded up. Who has Obama helped? Himself.

    An earmark to a hospital his wife worked at ended up tripling her salary from $100,000 to $300,000.

    A new telescope for a planetarium brought a promise of a $100,000 donation.

    The Obamas are for themselves only.

    Kenya to Deport American Author of Anti-Obama Book

    An American author who penned an anti-Barack Obama book was detained by immigration authorities in Kenya after plans to launch the book there, the Times of London reported.

    from the FoxNews web site.

    You might want to review some of the Odinga-Obama videos at Liveleak:

    http://www.liveleak.com/browse?q=Odinga+&search=Search

    Lots of footage of both.

    Spread these videos around if you can.

  8. cowboyup6 on October 7th, 2008 2:47 pm

    Comrade Obama is a marxist and closet muslim. His compaigning for Raila Odinga in 2006, and support since, shows his true communist ideology. Our media does not tell the comrade Obama story, since they are invested in his election. Kenya’s losses from the murderous rampaging by Odinga supporters were 500,000 in refugees, and countless victims of genocide, which the Demoncrats ignored. Comrade Obama’s fingerprints are all over the massacres of Kenya’s citizens. He is already getting youth movements in the black neighborhoods, perhaps in preparation for uprisings like those in Kenya that were ordered by Raila Odinga and his muslim ally, Balata. Sadly, this Kenyan story has not ended, as the murderous marxist/muslim alliance is constantly plotting the death of opponents and total assumption of power, the people’s vote be damned. Kenya needs a second amendment, which might have prevented the burning alive of Kenyan Christians in their churches by muslims and Odinga mobs.

  9. Antonio Sosa on October 9th, 2008 1:55 am

    You are right, cowboyup6. We need to defend America from Obama. There is PROOF that Obama used his elected office—and taxpayers’ dollars—to support a man like Kenya’s Raila Odinga, self touted as “Your Agent for Change,” a violent and dangerous man who made a pact with the Muslims to institute sharia (Islamic law). Obama supporters in Carson chanted “No USA!” Odinga supporters in Kenya, brandished machetes and chanted “No Peace!”

  10. Paul Kinya on October 9th, 2008 5:28 am

    I have watched the documentary of association of Raila Ondinga with Barack Obama and it is the naked truth, since i am a kenyan. Though our country is 90% Obamania, i disliked this fellow for associating with Raila Odinga. All you have is truth in that video. Raila just wants to be so close to helm of power and with Obama presidency, the security and existence of kenya as a nation together with United states will severly be compromised by these two people. Just research more on the ammount of USA tax payers money that Obama used to come and campaighn for Raila Odinga. Also look for the kind of bitter complain given by the government after his delivery of speech at the University of Nairobi Kenya.
    United states people, do not fall into the trap of “Change” that you are not aware of championed by Obama. We kenyans rejected the “change” that was being brought by Odinga. Learn from us people of America, Kim

  11. luke the truth on October 10th, 2008 1:42 am

    people, i am a kenyan and i can tell you all that has been published about the associations of obama and odinga are a lie. how can odinga be connected to muslim extremists when he is a devout anglican christian. if he really was a terrorist then why is he now the prime minister of kenya and was recently invited to the U.S and had an official visit to the bush administration(condoleza).please do not be coerced into thinking obama is a bad choice just because of misinformation. in the video above it claims odinga was out to kill the kikuyu tribe that the current president comes from. odingas first child is married to a kikuyu. and by the way odinga did win that election but it was rigged in favor of the incumbent. kenyans went to bed with odinga having a one million vote lead count and woke up the next day to find the incumbent ahead. if your not going to vote for obama then that is your choice but dont let your choice be misinformed by all the malicious incorrect information posted on this page. make your decision and good luck. all know america needs some good luck in the coming days

  12. Antonio Sosa on October 10th, 2008 12:36 pm

    Thank you, Julios Mosa, for trying to inform Americans about the BIG HOAX that is being perpetrated against them.
    As someone born in Ecuador with friends and relatives in Latin America, I’m terrified watching how people in the United States are being manipulated just like people in Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador to put a Marxist in power.

    The similarities between Rafael Correa’s campaign for president of Ecuador and that of Obama for U.S. president are amazing. Even the slogans (CHANGE, YES WE CAN, etc.) are the same. Correa’s campaign was part of a plan laid out by Castro at the Marxist Sao Paulo’s forum in the 90’s to spread Marxism. Correa is now a dictator working with Chávez y Islamics. It seems Odinga’s and Obama’s campaigns also part of that plan.

    When informed Ecuadorians realized the amazing similarities between candidate Correa and candidate Obama, they felt confident that Americans could not be fooled as Ecuadorians had. However, it seems many Americans are as clueless as the poorest and most ignorant people in Ecuador or Bolivia.

    Latin-American presidents-turned Marxist dictators (Chávez, Morales, Correa, etc.) also seem to have connections with Soros and the Islamics. Informed Ecuadorians were not able to convince their clueless compatriots that Correa was a fake and not the young and wonderful savior the media was portraying. They could not compete in ads with the millions Correa had (mostly from unknown sources). The CHANGE has been toward Marxism and greater poverty for all.

    Wake up, Americans! Your enemies are brainwashing you to enslave you and your children!

  13. Antonio Sosa on October 10th, 2008 12:54 pm

    That’s false, Luke the truth. Obama is not a real Christian. Just like Castro, Chávez, Correa, Obama pretends to be a Christian. But his “Christian” church in based on BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY, used by Marxists to take over by fooling people into believing that they care for the poor.

    Christian and Catholic leaders, including as Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II, have condemned Liberation Theology as contrary to Christian and Catholic believes.

    Castro, Chávez, Correa have also fooled people with Liberation Theology. As Communism failed everywhere, Castro, Chávez, Correa, Obama, etc. do not present themselves as Communists or Marxists any more. But that’s what they are. And they are working with Islamic terrorists to destroy America. Chávez has very close links with Iran’s Ahmadineyad and even calls him “brother.”

    Wake up, Americans! You are being taken for fools!

    So, Samuel,
    How do we “as Americans” know that you are not also a terrorist? We dont….do we?

  16. Diamondeb on October 16th, 2008 11:16 pm

    Old Chinese Proverb or something like that says,

    “Choose your friends wisely”

    I do not think Mr. Obama has made wise choices in many of his friends and associates.

    Do I need to name names? The names have been all over (some) of the media but America is not listening. If Obama wins and they come to sleep at the White House then it will be obvious. Too late!

  17. Dan Oleko on October 17th, 2008 8:31 am

    I actually hail from kenya and all I know is that all these are lies.Odinga is not a radical and do not support islamic ideologies, all he stood for is the right of muslems. In America and the world over everybody;christians, muslems,budhists and everyone else have rights which has to be respected.Reject Obama because you dont like his agenda but not becouse of the propaganda spread by the conservertives.

  18. Allen Young on October 18th, 2008 2:38 pm

    Barack Obama should be investigated for the use of Taxpayer Funds in traveling to another country to influence its presidential election.

    I cannot imagine the backlash were the tables turned, and McCain or Palin engaged in such illegal and treasonous behavior!

    Barack Obama is a very confused person, whose tendencies blur the lines between behaviors governed by Islamic Law and Communism. What he likes about both is that The People are controlled with absolute power by those at the top. And, HE WANTS TO DO THE CONTROLLING. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS MAN!

  19. John Smythe on October 19th, 2008 8:22 pm

    The joke is on the dems, those republicans that had Ayers on their board when Obama served on it also. They knew Obama was going to run for President some day and wanted to tie the two together.

  20. Harry B on October 20th, 2008 7:13 pm

    I am just amazed about some of these comments. This is not about Ayers or his work. This is about Obama not telling the truth about his relationships with people such as Ayers, Rezko, White, Odinga. Are there others? I guess we will not know until the media finally starts doing its job and scrutinize his associations.

  21. Kim on October 23rd, 2008 1:40 pm

    If you don’t want to vote for Obama then don’t. However, I urge you to go to factcheck.org or somewhere and do just a little research before your continue to circulate lies. Come on people, due your due diligence. It is not the medias job to do your home work. There is just way to much information at your fingertips. Oh, and while you are checking don’t forget to check on McCain (keating 5 scandal) and Palin with the troopergate and associations with the Radical Alaska Independence Party that wants alaska to succeed from the union they really have some questionable associations and judgement issues. Check this website for one source of information and there are so many others. http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977477692&nav=Namespace

    If you REALLY want to get scared, watch some of the old film footage of Adolph Hitler when he was running for office in Germany before WWII. He also was a great orator, and the people treated him like he was the Messiah. The crowds swarmed him, giving the Nazi salute, and believed every word he said. I’m not implying that Obama is a Nazi, but look at the similarity in how his supporters treat him. They are completely deaf and blind to anything or anyone who would say anything against him – whether it is the truth, or not. Obama’s associations ARE important, if he plans to be our leader. He has ALWAYS associated himself with radical, leftist, socialist-minded people, and he has done this purposely – because they think like he does. He says race should not be an issue in the campaign, but it seems to be important to his wife. She has said, more than once, that she has met people on the campaign trail that come up to her and say,” I never thought I’d see the day . . .”, but she doesn’t finish the sentence. What she means, but won’t say in public, is: “I never thought I’d see the day when a black man was running for President of the United States”. She doesn’t have to complete the sentence for the true meaning to come through, but she’s shrewd enough not to actually SAY it. There are people who are voting for Obama JUST because he’s black, and there are people NOT voting for him for the same reason. Because of his past association(however “trivial”) with a known domestic terrorist, Obama wouldn’t qualifiy to work for the F.B.I.,and he wouldn’t even qualify to be his own bodyguard if he were elected President. Americans, we need, we DESERVE to have ALL of the facts about someone who aspires to our nation’s highest office. For once, we need to hold someone accountable for their actions, instead of ignoring these things in the name of “political correctness”. WAKE UP, AMERICA, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!

  24. Wanda on October 26th, 2008 3:38 pm

    Kim,
    I can’t believe you would compare ANYTHING or ANYONE that Sen. McCain or Gov. Palin have been associated with to the radical American hating people that Barack Husien Obama has been associated with his entire life.

    They pale in comparison in my view. In fact from what I’ve been told Obama wouldn’t even qualify to obtain an FBI clearance. And yet so many ignorant people are voting for him to be our Commander in Chief.

    I’ve always been told a man is known by who he associates with. Senator Biden said in a rally something to the effect “If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it must be a duck.” I couldn’t agree more!

    Only I think it fits Obama perfectly in regards to who he’s been linked to, listens to and has chosen to be influenced by and has sought to associate with. He didn’t sit at the feet of Billy Graham for 20 years.

    Obama says what “he thinks” we as American voters want to hear and has no problem changing his message at every turn. Change could be worse it’s not necessarily for better.

    John McCain has served his country and shown his true character and integrity, you can’t manufacture that. I would rather put my life in the hands of “proven leadership.”

    I pray that America wakes up and hears what Obama has stated in his books and by his associations. Leopards don’t lose their spots neither do radical extremists, although I think they can appear to be something else in order to fool people for a while in order to accomplish their agenda.

    I fear we have a TROJAN HORSE in our midst and we all close our eyes in slumber. GOD help us.

  25. Wanda on October 26th, 2008 4:03 pm

    Mikie ,I didn’t read all of your post or I wouldn’t have restated the F.B.I. comment. You are right on.

  26. Billy on October 27th, 2008 6:19 pm

    Its funny how people wanna say that “Cange means fewer rights” and yet the republicans are the ones who preach against individual rights!

  27. Billy on October 27th, 2008 6:24 pm

    SO sorry that Obama decided to help his community along the side of a “terrorist”. You guys are ignorant! Its not like he could say “I cant help this community because I dont like this man here so Ill just work in the community of one of my 5 other mansions. You stupid neo-conservatives need a reality check. Its ok to redistribute wealth to already wealthy individuals bacuse that means they’ve worked hard, but its NOT ok to help out those who have been struggling working 16hr days making 5.15 an hour because $$ signs spell out the individuals worth right there. We liberlas are taking it back and I commend Obama for wanting to take on a job that literally means cleaning out the mess McCain has backed since that current administration seaped inside the whitehouse.

  28. Billy on October 27th, 2008 6:26 pm

    COUNTRY FIRST and yet their VP nominee is a seperatist?! McCain/Palin: king and Queen of the double standard and you are their subjects!

  29. Antonio Sosa on October 28th, 2008 5:20 pm

    Where’s the video?

    The video seems to have disappeared from most websites! Is the U.S. media already under the control of Comandate en Jefe Obama so that the people are no longer free to show or see anything that displeases him?

    Where’s the video?

  30. Antonio Sosa on October 28th, 2008 5:30 pm

    Dan Oleko, Odinga is a Marxist who studied in West Germany when West Germany was part of the Soviet Block. Odinga named his first born son “Fidel Castro”, after the Marxist monster who transformed an imperfect but prosperous and happy island into a GULAG of dire poverty, misery and corruption, where the only hope for many is escaping to a free country. http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/kenyas_killing_fields/

  31. Wanda on October 30th, 2008 6:28 pm

    Billy,
    I’m not for either Party. I look at the issues and whats best for America. Welfare is not it.

    In last nights 4 million dollar Obama infomercial Barack didn’t quote one thing that he’s accomplished. I heard today that he has a Brother in Kenya that is living in a hut on $1.00 a month and an Aunt in The US living in poverty… Does he spread some of his wealth to help his own family…..NOPE doesn’t look like it.

    How much money do you think you’re really going to see….. Maybe one stimulus check before he starts raising all taxes.
    Obama’s already lowered the income level he said he would tax. Just wait he plans on taking over and changing more than we are being told except by the conservatives.

    Who decided there was anything wrong with conservative values and not wanting to give away what we earn and not killing millions of babies. This country was founded on strong Christian values and rights.

    We all have equal opportunity to do what we want with our lives. Just ask the millions of immigrants dying to get to the United States. When they get here most of them start a business and pull themselves up from nothing.

    By the way The democrats have been in charge for the last two years and have been at the root of this mess. AKA Pelosi,Reid Franks.

  32. Antonio Sosa on October 30th, 2008 11:11 pm

    You are right, Wanda!

    It’s the Democrats and their socialist agenda and fraudulent institutions (ACORN, Fanny Mae, Freddy Mac) who created our current financial problems. And they want us to elect a Marxist for president so he can finish us off!

    And yes, we value our Christian values, and we know Obama is not a Christian. Obama’s “Christian” church endorses black liberation theology, which has been denounced as both heretical and dangerous, not only to the authentic Christian faith, but even more so to the societies which come to embrace it. Liberation Theology has been used by Castro, Chávez and other Marxists dictators to fool people into believing that they care for the poor.

    Additionally, Obama supports not only abortion but infanticide. And there is PROOF that Obama used his elected office—and taxpayers’ dollars—to support the presidential campaign of his Marxist relative Ralia Odinga, “Your Agent for Change,” who made a pact with the Muslims to institute Sharia (Islamic law) in Kenia although only 10% of Kenyans are Muslim. Odinga’s followers killed some 1500 people and burned 800 Christian churches, including one with 50 people, many of them children inside.

  33. Mwangi Mukami on October 31st, 2008 11:27 am

    Let the best man win. I have compared both Sen. Obama policies and Sen. McCain, I once viewed the white man (I mean the entire race) with such high esteem and respect but later I realized they are the same as blacks, just that sometimes their mediocrity is viewed with much awe and amusement by most not all brothers in Africa.

    Christians who keep getting scared of the Muslims are living in the fear that has been characterized by their ungodliness nothing else.

    It is the Christians from Europe who kept quite during Africa colonization, the Christian from the United States that controls the United Nations who kept quiet when genicude happened in Rwanda and Darfur.

    The World politics is currently controlled by individuals who claim to be Christians and they are not. President Bush invaded Iraq He is a Christian, Bill Clinton Bombed Sudan, He is a Christian, the People who killed Luther King Jr were not Muslims but radical white people who would profess to be Christian.

    Jesus said, “my Kingdom is not of this World” If you want to fight Sen. Obama or Sen. McCain fight him from a platform of ideology and issues not like a sluggerd covering up with the name “Christian”

    How many Homosexuals do we have in the USA? How many do we have in say Qatar? How many deaths occur a year violent for that matter in USA how many occur in Dubai?

    Leadership is not about Religion it is about Principles, Segregation happened before the eyes of Lydon Johnson before the passage of civil rights act, even blacks whites never accepted them, yet America was Christians.

    It is very stupid of the white man (Not all) but the most silly white man (Like the ones i have seen commenting here) talking about Muslims think deeply how much harm people using Christianity have caused to this world and be very ashamed.

    All those who allege here Sen. Obama campaigned for Hon. Odinga have never even left their home states, do not have passports like Palin until 2006, It is very silly for someone who is living in Super highway of information believe what media say. Most Americans still are ignorant of the world growth they still look at Africans as second class citizens very arrogance and silly in their approach, I have witnessed many incidents racial based and very biased in United States

    My disclaimer here is that all Americans behave in a crude way like the most silly Christians who try to employ army like techniques to fight an ideas.

    Next time you pray ask that God to forgive you for your ignorance, and a piece of advise my little nephew knows that you cannot trust media or any other information until you are in a position to substantiate.

    If I ask where Kisumu is half of the people who have commented here will not even know but they are fast to comment about communism in Kenya-Fools!

    Majority of your commentaries in this section,are a disgrace! Be very ashamed and be issue oriented than gossipers really your God hates you that what he says through his prophet Isaiah, He hates a lying tongue be very ashamed!
