Barack Obama has had experience in just that enterprise, through his Kenyan cousin, whose terrorism he never renounced. Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga said he was a cousin of US presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
In August 2006, Barack Obama visited Raila Odinga in Kenya and spoke in support of Mr. Odinga's candidacy for president of Kenya at rallies in Nairobi. The Web site Atlas Shrugs posted a photograph of the two men side by side.
From Atlas Shrugs:
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/kenyas_killing_fields/index.html"...this hasn't even gotten into the relationship between Obama and Raila Odinga, yet another politician who ran on the 'hope & change' theme while utilizing criminal ties, who would then stage a violent and bloody uprising when national elections didn't go his way. Somehow not much was heard about the nightly phone calls between Sen. Obama and Raila Odinga after those days..."
Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga and US presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama descended from the same Luo tribe. Mr Odinga told the BBC's The World Today that Senator Obama's father was his maternal uncle.
When Raila Odinga lost the presidential election to Mwai Kibaki, he claimed the vote was rigged, whereupon his tribal followers went on murderous rampages such as in the town of Eldoret, where on New Years Day dozens of people were burned to death in a church set on fire.
Throughout Kenya, hundreds of people were politically murdered within a few days. Whether Mr. Odinga ordered his men to commit the murder and arson is unproven, but his own background did not exactly suggest enthusiasm for democracy and the rule of law. Mr. Odinga's father, Barack Obama's uncle Oginga Odinga, led the Communist opposition during the Cold War and Raila Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany.
More recently, Mr. Odinga said that Mr. Obama interrupted his own campaigning in New Hampshire to have a telephone conversation with his African cousin about the constitutional crisis in Kenya.
Kenya's President Kibaki's spokesman complained that Mr. Obama was behaving like a "stooge" of Mr. Odinga.
Mr. Obama was putting tribal or family considerations above America's national interest by supporting Mr. Odinga's anti-Western candidacy, which was at best undignified for a visiting American senator, and at worst unwarranted interference in the internal politics of another country.
