Lately I've been reading a lot about a man who is suppose to be Sen. Obama's cousin back in Kenya. He ran for the office of president in his country and lost. But Barrack Obama campaigned for this man who promised to bring back Sharia Law to Kenya and to stop helping America's fight against terrorism.
When Odinga didn't win his supporters went on a rampage and has killed many people with machetes and even burned a group of Christian women and children who had sought refuge in their church.
I find Sen. Obama's part in this highly disturbing.
Please read more about in this article:

I will ask you the same thing ..... did you read the article?
This isn't in relationship to any fake email as it says in the link you provided. Which I might point out is from Obama's own web site and I think his past relationships he is less than truthful. First he didn't know about Wright's hateful comments and then he did. First he didn't know Ayers very well and now he says he thought the man had been rehabilitated. Now he has nothing to do with ACORN. He knows nothing about Tony Rezko. And on and on.

So your second paragraph actually proves what I said. Obama was a stooge/ puppet for Odinga and his campaign. They practically were stuck to each other during Obama's stay there. Obama continually spoke out against the current administration in Kenya and for Odinga. That sounds like campaigning to me.
Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany. He named one of his sons after Fidel Castro. He is a Muslim who ran on a platform to bring back Sharia Law and to stop assisting America with it's war on terror.
And this is the man who Obama is associating with. They call each other and send emails. Obama may not want to admit they're cousins but Odinga says they are. But I won't argue that point. It's really a small thing. The radical people whom Obama surrounds himself with over the years is what is important to me. In another day and time he would be charged with treason.

Here's what the fact-checker Politifact has to say:
Barkan: Odinga And Obama Are Not First Cousins And “To My Knowledge, There’s Absolutely No Relationship At All.” “‘It’s stretched to the point of ridiculousness,’ said Joel D. Barkan, political science professor emeritus at the University of Iowa and senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. ‘To my knowledge, they are not first cousins in the normal sense. To my knowledge, there’s absolutely no relationship at all.’” [Politifact, 4/18/08]
Awiti: Raila Odinga Was Using Obama To Add Some Political Points And It Should Be Totally Disregarded. “Alex Awiti, a Kenyan postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University, says you have to consider the context of when Odinga was speaking, that being in the middle of a political crisis. ‘Raila Odinga was groping all over the place, trying to find some political legitimacy to get on a high pedestal to claim leadership and using Obama was basically going to add some political points,’ said Awiti, who lived in Kenya until three years ago. ‘This is very opportunistic and it should be totally disregarded.’” [Politifact, 4/18/08]

I find Sen. Obama's part in this highly disturbing. Why should it be highly disturbing. This is a cousin's of Obama. The bible talks about seven brothers seven different minds. There were Cain and Abel, Cain was evil and Abel was obedient and God Fearing. Obama has is own personalities why does one want to compare him with his cousins/father/mother/grandparents. He has his own identity.
Listen to his speech and look at the individual and ask yourself Is this the man that I want to be President of America. If it is yes then vote if it is not then don't vote for him. To me Americans is making a mountain out of a mole hill. He is his own person and not even Michelle can tell him that he need to change to suit another person. He has to know what is right for him and what is wrong. Stop the foolish and make democracy move forward.
These are not the days of mediocrity. We are moving forward not backward. What Americans should remember that the world is looking at you and laughing at all your foolishness.

First of all, did you even read the article? I seriously doubt it.
Listen to his speech? Like the man would never lie or deceive. pffft
You must be a very naive person.
I do not support Communists or crooks or people who not friends to America. This man who Obama supports wants to bring back Sharia Law and stop helping America in it's war on terrorism. If this person were my father I would not campaign for him or stand next to him.
And so you speak of Cain and Abel. Well, Cain murdered Abel, dear.

I know that Cain murder Abel and this is the reason I was showing comparison because you did with Obama and his cousin. It is to show that there are good and bad even though they are one family. You are no friends to person who doesn't love America. You are so backward. Don't you know that there are alot of persons worldwide who doesn't love America because of its policy. Obama is a son of the soil. If he was not a good son then he would not have reach as far as he did. America is not in the olden days anymore and the young people has grown up to know that racism and terrorism is wrong. Whether you like or dislike persons who does not like America, When Obama becomes President try and stop him. No one wants an idiot to run their country whether that idiot is a P.O.W. or not. Such as the case Palin has also make a nuisance of herself. Do you think that the young want an idiot to look over their affairs. Think again my friend.

Yes , I have been reading about this for a while. 0bama actually interfered in Kenya's elections... allowing his status as a U.S. Senator to be used to influence those elections.
This is the type of person that the democrats want as our president.
He sill has not produced a real birth certificate to prove that he is even eligible to be president.
