"an", lmao
Hang it up Corky, I'm surprised that a leftie like you would attach himself to such a hit piece. All it needed was to mention his middle name a few times and how he was sworn in on the Koran.

It is a well sourced and substanitive story. "Former Clinton aides currently working for Obama were the "mutual acquaintances" who directed Dick Morris to Kenya to advise the Odinga campaign in November of 2007, shortly after Odinga visited with Obama in America. Morris was an extremely divisive factor in the Kenyan elections, as a foreigner, a white man, and the creator of an antagonistic "have vs. have nots" campaign platform for Odinga's ODM. He also suggested the current campaign of civil disobedience to protest the election result, including a "Million Person March", a la Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam." "Jerusalem Post: But even in this atmosphere Obama stands out - for not only does he theoretically support appeasement, he is actively advancing the interests of Islamists seeking to take control over a state allied with the US"

Dick Morris in bed with former Clinton aides? Former Clinton aides now backing Obama? These same aides hooking up Obama and Morris? Man, if true, then truth is stranger than fiction.

US strategist to help Kenya presidential challenger Wed 14 Nov 2007, NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's top presidential challenger has brought in an American political strategist, tarred by a prostitution scandal, to help defeat President Mwai Kibaki in a December 27 poll, his campaign said on Wednesday. As opposition candidates kicked off their official campaigns, Raila Odinga, who has a narrow lead in opinion polls, said American pollster Dick Morris had joined his team. "He is working as a consultant, but he is doing it pro bono. He is not charging Mr. Odinga," said Odinga spokeswoman Rose Lukalo. africa.reuters.com

"Barack Obama has had a major impact on the recent disputed Kenyan election. He spoke in support of Orange Democratic Movement opposition leader Raila Odinga when in Kenya in 2006. The two men met last fall when Odinga visited America as each was preparing an "insurgency" campaign in their respective countries. In a recent BBC interview, Raila Odinga, averred that he and Obama were "old friends who spoke often on the telephone". Odinga also said that he and Obama were cousins, a claim that the Obama campaign was unwilling to acknowledge, (given Odinga's current difficulties) but did not deny."

Amid a brutal cycle of killings in Kenya, Barack Obama late last night appealed to Kenyans to renounce violence and "follow a path of peace." In a radio address to his father's home country, the Democratic presidential candidate said that the post-election violence there bears "no resemblance to the Kenya I know and carry with me." "The rule of law and the rights of the Kenyan people, including freedom of the media and the freedom of peaceful assembly, must be restored," Obama said in his address. "The opposition must turn away from the path of mass protest and violence in seeking participation in government." Obama said President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga should sit down and talk "unconditionally," and he urged them to "welcome the assistance if your concerned friends." His address comes as the death toll from the last five days of fighting rose to 85 in western Kenya, as gangs of machete-wielding young men from Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe hunted down and killed people from Odinga's Luo tribe. The murders were reported to be revenge killings for violence against Kikuyus. Aides to Obama said he gave the statement after consulting with U.S. Ambassador Mike Rannenberger, at the U.S. embassy in Nairobi. The address was broadcast live during the morning commute in Kenya on Capital FM Radio in Nairobi. weblogs.baltimoresun.com

Otherwise, you can take Bowa and shove him up your ass sideways, you got that? Sorry Corky, but clearly by the tactics of political pandering admiration for a candidate you show, BOWA and you should be buddies. Interesting thing though, you can't seem to talk about anything good about Hillary but sure like to do alot of character slashing slantings of the other candidates. What is with that? Make up off kiltered crap so as to "give wrong appearance" and then claim the information is true. It would appear the Hillary not only has a character problem but "SO DO YOU!!!!"

How come you can't talk about the topic of thread, Money for Nothing? Nothing to say, right? As per usual, you can only bitch about generalities because the specifics elude you.
