Here's a story that can - and must - really damage Obama, and it is being ignored by the mainstream media. Obama has close ties to the Kenya politician Odinga who started the recent rioting and mass murders there. He did it because he didn't like the election results. AND, very important, he has ties to Islamists who are trying to muscle in. So, what it looks like is, Odinga made a deal with the Islamists to get more power if they would help, and Obama made a deal with Odinga to look as if he is playing a hero's role when he may actually be abetting the violence. Complicated. Sort it out. The reporting here is kind of jumbled but Pamela Geller at AtlasShrugs is carrying this story.
