For one, I'm married to a Luo. I find connecting them to Muslims to be pretty laughable. Anyway, the distrust between the Luo and the Kikuyu runs pretty deep. People will absolutely not vote for a member of the other tribe, no matter the policies, and folks will always stand up for a member of their own tribe no matter what. These hatreds have been used in Kenyan politics for years by both sides and it's really pretty darn sad. Now if it comes out that Obama had anything more to do with what went down than just speaking to Odinga, then that could be a problem. I wonder if the media will do a darn thing with the information though. It strikes me as something they would rather just not get out. You don't want to tarnish the image of That One.
