OBAMA'S FIRST "CHANGE" CAMPAIGN:
A DISASTER FOR AFRICA AND AMERICA

This is not Barack Obama's first big presidential campaign crying "Change!"

His first "Change" campaign took place in Kenya in the presidential election of 2007.

Kenya President Mwai Kibaki was running against Raila Odinga, political leader of the minority Luo tribe. Obama made a trip to Kenya in 2006 to campaign for Odinga against the sitting Christian President.

Odinga had prevailed over Kenya's many tribal wars after returning from East Germany, where he had been educated as a Communist. He had returned to Kenya as a radical leftist, willing to do anything to gain power. While he purports to be a Christian, he acts more like a radical atheist.

Obama joined the Odinga campaign, despite learning that Odinga had signed a cooperative document with the radical Islamist faction in Kenya. The document traded Islamic support for Odinga in exchange for granting the Islamists sway over Christian-controlled lands in the Horn of Africa.

In 2006, Obama made campaign appearances with Odinga, which implied that the U.S. government supported the challenger. On a daily basis, Obama criticized the sitting Kenyan government.

The campaign's theme was "Real Change for Africa."

Huge amounts of money began to flow into Odinga's campaign. The first million dollars came in from an organization called "Friends of Senator Barack Obama." A second million came in from seif-AI-Islam Qaddafi, the son of Libya's dictator. Altogether, 72 major donors poured tons of money into Odinga's campaign.

A government spokesperson accused Senator Obama of being "a stooge" for Odinga. All during the campaign, Obama continued his attacks on the Kibaki government.

When the votes were counted (or miscounted), President Kibaki had won.

Suddenly a huge wave of violence swept Kenya. Odinga's followers and the radical Islamists joined together in a bloodbath that was horrible even by African standards. Women were raped, families were hacked to death in their beds, and homes were burned in a national torment which is now classified as genocide.

Thousands of people were killed. Many more were injured. Three hundred Christian churches were burned.

But not one mosque was touched.

And all during the violence, Barack Obama kept in touch with Odinga, helping him to maneuver for power.

The violence forced President Kibaki into a power-sharing agreement with Odinga, who was named Prime Minister. Obama even got Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to put pressure on President Kibaki.

The violence and subsequent power-sharing agreement has vastly advanced the cause of the radical Islamists in Africa – something which seriously damages U.S. interests on the continent. Christian Kenya had been our one bastion of strength against Islamic Somalia and Sudan in the horn of Africa.

Is it any wonder that terrorist group Hamas endorsed Obama for President?

If Obama is elected President, I do not predict physical violence and genocide in America.

But there is highly likely to be economic violence – especially against the American middle class.

Obama worshiped his father and thought along similar economic lines.

Here are extracts from the writings of Obama senior.

On nationalizing corporations, Obama Senior wrote the following:

"Yet one who has read Marx cannot fail to see that corporations are not only what Marx referred to as the advanced stage of capitalism but Marx even called it finance capitalism by which a few would control the finances of so many and through this have not only economic power but political power as well."

On tax policy, Obama Senior wrote:

"Theoretically, there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100 percent of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with that income which is taxed."

On taxing the rich, Obama Senior wrote:

"I do not see why the government cannot tax those who have more and siphon some of these revenues into savings which can be utilized in investment for future development, thereby reducing our reliance on foreign aid."

Although slightly modified by Obama Junior, do these quotes not sound eerily similar to the "Change" campaign currently being run in the U.S.?

Especially the parts about "spreading the wealth" and "taxing rich corporations."

Please think about these things as we go to the polls November 4.
