As the Mainstream Media rushes to Barack Obama's defense once again over the photo that appeared yesterday on the internet of Obama dressed in African / Islamic-looking clothing, they have yet to talk about another photo that is truly disturbing. Agreed, Obama visiting an African nation and trying on their native dress is nothing of substance. But a picture of Barack Obama, a sitting U.S. Senator in 2006, visiting Kenya to make speeches in behalf of a Marxist-leaning opposition leader seeking to take power there, IS a disturbing photo.

This photo (below) shows Barack Obama with Raila Odinga, a radical opposition leader in Kenya who was educated in Marxist East Germany and is clearly Marxist/Socialist leaning in his politics. Odinga calls himself a "Social Democrat." He claims to be the cousin of Barack Obama, from the same "Luo" Kenyan tribe as Obama's father, and amazingly Obama went there in 2006 and advocated on his behalf! Below is part of an article published in the New York Sun back in January 2008, which details the connection between Obama and Odinga. As you will read, Odinga has also been accused of making a deal with the radical Islamic element in Kenya in exchange for their political support.

Inexplicably, despite 20 Democratic Debates over the course of an entire year, no reporter has been courageous enough to ask Obama why he supports a Marxist/Socialist like Odinga in Kenya. Is that going to be indicative of his foreign policy if he is elected President? When you take this disturbing association with Odinga, couple it with Obama's desire to precipitously withdraw from Iraq - effectively turning Iraq over to Al-Qaeda when our U.S. Forces have them on the run, and add to it his announcement he is ready to negotiate with thugs like Ahmadinejad in Iran, Raul Castro in Cuba, and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela - without preconditions, you are left with an extreme leftist candidate whose ideology could very well put the United States and our allies in great danger.

It's time for someone, anyone, in the media to pause with the adoration of Obama long enough to ask the hard questions of him - for the good of America. Here is part of the article by Daniel Johnson entitled, "The Kenyan Connection":

We must all hope that, like King's, Mr. Obama's dream is "deeply rooted in the American dream." But before giving him the keys to the White House, Americans might like to know a little more about the content of Mr. Obama's dream.

Let me propose an unlikely place to start looking: Kenya. Even in the midst of the primaries, the horrific scenes from that country since the disputed election on December 27 will not have escaped most people. In particular, the burning of a church with up to 50 men, women, and children inside, while machete-armed mobs slaughter up to 600 more people, have evoked memories of the Rwandan genocide of 1994.  read more »
