I'm sure you guys will know that George Bush's Daddy dropped bombs on iraqi people. I'm sure he didn't apologize on senior's behalf. Not trying to be a left asshole of downplay the genocide. Just say Obama shouldnt be held responsible Ok so Obama is associated with Odinga for supporting someone he thought was a ‘clan relative’, which turned into ‘cousin’.

Odinga is an Obama "associate??" Perhaps in Jerome Corsi's sordid worldview he is. But not the rest of us. Luckily it appears Obama will become our next president while you will have to be content railing at him fr. the sidelines. @someonedifferent: You’re not “someonedifferent” you’re just more of the same Obama smear trash talkers.

There is a lot more than assumption at work when dealing with Mr. Obama's choice of assocation. When many of his associates (Mr. Wright, Mr. Ayers, Mr. Odinga, and others) seem to have a record of abusing the power of their positions, it is NOT a conspiracy theory to suggest that Obama has a similiar mentality (birds of a feather). On the other hand, I am not convinced that Mr. Obama himself knows the catastrophe his policies would inflict upon this country. Taking Mr. Obama at face value would be a mistake.

I don't publish bizarre conspiracy theories here just to humor my readers & commenters like you. But you sure do prove why Obama deserves support. With oddities like you around people can understand how truly nutty many of Obama's enemies are. So thanks... @No To Obama: THis is such a bizarre comment I’ve decided to moderate all your future comments.

He struck a cozy alliance with Odinga, and the mini genocide just happened accidentally following the Odinga defeat. Who would forgive Obama such a major error? Obama has failed to apologize to the relatives of the victims for his link to the Odinga clan. When Odinga will be tried in the Hague one day, Obama should be in the dock, as a willing accessory to the crime.
