Raila Odinga, the charismatic, left-leaning prime minister of Kenya who claims to be first cousin to Barack Obama, owes much to the Illinois senator. Arguably, he would not occupy that high office but for Obama's support in Kenyan elections.

Odinga did not win the presidential elections last December; then after weeks of murder and mayhem, a truce was negotiated that promoted Odinga to the newly created office as prime minister.
