Obama and Odinga are related!

Post categories:

According to Raila Odinga, the Kenyan opposition leader who claims he was cheated out of the presidency in a rigged election, Barack Obama's Kenyan father was not only a member of the same Luo tribe (which we knew) but was, in fact, his maternal uncle (which we didn't know). At least, that's what he told Newshour's Roger Hearing on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service today. And Obama has apparently phoned him twice over the past day to express his concern at the post-election crisis.
