rbrta In 2006, Barack Obama traveled to Africa on U.S. taxpayer money and for 6 days campaigned for Raila Odinga, who was running for the office of President of Kenya.
By the time Obama joined him on the trail, Odinga, who claims to be Obama's cousin, had already established a reputation as a powerful orator, running as the 'CANDIDATE of CHANGE' and drawing crowds who chanted in deafening unison, 'YES WE CAN!'
In '07 Odinga lost the election and on that day, hundreds of his followers spilled into the streets wielding machetes and launched a months long ethnic cleansing rampage on the opposition party followers, burning churches, raping women and hacking villagers to death which resulted in the mass genocide of over 1400 innocent men, women and children.
Later in 2007, as a way of bringing about compromise and ending violence, Odinga was able to muscle his way into a second top spot as Prime Minister, a new position created especially for him, and granted full Executive Priviledges over the government of Kenya.
In 2008 Odinga, a muslim who is against the extradition of Muslim terrorists and has vowed to bring Sharia Law to Kenya, traveled to the U.S. to visit and support his friend Obama in his bid for the Democratic nomination.
Obama campaign insiders have reported that Obama has continued to remain in contact with Odinga throughout his own Presidential campaign.

Filed under: Republicans, Debates, 2008 President, Viral VideoI just got done telling some people that I don't like all this discussion of fluffy garbage like sighing and blinking, which play far too large a role in how we decide who wins these debates. This is still true. McCain lost badly in every way, though, so I don't feel so bad about this: Tommy Christopher co-hosts "Unusable Signal",on BlogTalkRadio, Tues through Thurs at 10pm, and Fri, and Sat at 11pm.

'Angry McCain' At Final Debate Already Famous On YouTube
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
As much as cable pundits seemed to agree that John McCain had his strongest debate yet this evening, most also saw his constant grimacing as his performance's biggest drawback.
On Fox News, Brit Hume charitably described McCain as sporting a "peculiar" expression on his face while listening to Obama. "I don't know," he then said to conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer, who agreed that Obama, by contrast, was a man of "remarkable self-containment."
On CNN, Gloria Berger predicted that McCain's grimaces would become an enduring media narrative.
Seeking to help that media frame along is a new YouTube video, ...

Arianna Huffington: McCain's Losing Strategy: Double Down on the Anger
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
John McCain scored the zinger of the night with, "I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago."
But his performance in the third debate was, in fact, incredibly Bush-like, mirroring Bush's signature stubbornness -- especially on Iraq -- by doubling down on a failed strategy.
McCain's reliance on angry, negative, personal attacks on Obama -- including the pathetic Ayers smear and ACORN "destroying the fabric of democracy" -- has been an unequivocal failure, with the poll numbers to prove it. But instead of course-correcting, McCain doubled down tonight -- ...
The Eye-Rolling Debate
Politics Daily —
Filed under: Democrats, Republicans, Barack Obama, John McCain, Featured Stories, Debates, MediaWhen it comes to presidential debates, I'm normally not a big fan of body-language analysis. You know, that staple of cable television news, when "experts" in the field slice and dice each cough or sigh for symbolic import. Most of the time, you see, our presidential candidates act well within the bounds of commonly acceptable physical comportment, so what we end up with are a bunch of hack pseudo-psychologists telling us why a flip of the hair or a pursing of the lips belied a deep-seeded ...
Twitched, Bothered And McCranky
Firedoglake —
David Gergen's post-debate quip that McCain's debate performance looked like an exercise in anger management was spot on. It was a huge turn-off to watch McCain taking his smirky, petulant, immature, angry id on a public parade.

Justin Callaway: New Media Brings More People Into the Politically Active Fold
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
The debate is over and here come the video responses. Larry Flynt and SNL aren't alone in their election opportunism, many an enterprising YouTuber has uploaded distractions aplenty before the debate to clutter your results.
Check out this one.
Sadly, one would think GooTube would allow you to sort by ratings, views and date simultaneously. But that must cut down on advertising impressions, so let us not digress.
First, the debate chunks arrive. From the unedited uploads of the debate footage. To repackaged snippets highlighting moments during the debate. Say it ain't so, but there's a new joe: "Joe the ...
