Which American wants a President with a cousin in the government of Kenya?
I do!

But the media has already started the Hillary bandwagon...

How could someone be up by double digits in the polls the day before and suddenly lose the following day? Tears can't do that, I thought tears will hurt you in politics? Maybe it is that she is so robotic that maybe the tears helped?

Then Bill Clinton slamming Obama?

Media coverage like this screwed Obama today!

Odinga says Obama is his cousin

Obama tries to mediate an end to violence in Kenya from campaign trail

Obama's family in Kenya watches NH vote, expresses pride

1. Lots of reasons... probably New Hampshire saying
"don't get the big head"

2. Um...Kenya is in....Africa! I get it.
Actually, I thought it a bit strange this morning when i heard it. Not that it should throw an election, but strange.

3. Jeez! I hope people don't judge me because a relative
of mine isn't up to their standards. Obama's cousins, or even relatives as close as his immediate family don't have anything to do with the man himself. I mean I'm related to some people I wouldn't be friends with.
