OBAMA: UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

Back in 2008 when then Senator Barack Hussein Obama was a mere candidate for the Presidency, several legitimate news sources questioned the practices of the campaign fundraising machine. There were, for example, many stories about multi-millions of dollars in foreign contributions coming into the campaign coffers. There were tales about money going out of the campaign coffers to fund ACORN activities.

I’m just curious as to why no one ever followed up on these stories. Just where did that foreign money come from? Was any of it S.E.I.U. money, or Goldman Sachs money or AIG money or other large donations funneled through some auspicious foreign source? Could it even be that some foreign government sent in a large chunk of money in anticipation of some international favor down the road? I think it was Moammar Ghadafi who said at the time that the whole Arab world was getting behind Obama. I know it’s none of my business because I’m just a lowly pissant, and that’s probably why the Federal Election Commission decided to give the Obama organization a blanket “pass” on its campaign financing, right? I mean, even though the FEC had admonished the campaign many times over its practices and although some “shady” contributions had to be returned in 2007 and 2008, the FEC announced right after Obama was inaugurated that no investigation of his finances would be conducted.

As for the ACORN thing, I did hear something about that organization providing electrical work for staging of some campaign rally, or something like that. ACORN is well-known for its electrical expertise, among other things, isn’t it?

Way back when, a “peach of a guy” by the name of Anthony Rezko supported Obama when he ran for the Illinois State Senate. In 2003, when Obama decided to run for the U.S. Senate, Rezko held a campaign kick-off and fundraising party at his mansion. A few months after Obama won his Senate seat, money moved from one Nadhmi Auchi to Rezko and both Rezko’s wife and Obama ended up buying adjoining land on the same day; Obama’s was his new house, Rezko’s was a “garden plot.” Later, as Rezko was under indictment, Obama purchased part of the “garden plot” to add to his own property in a deal that was under banking investigation amid allegations that the land appraisal was “doctored.” Whatever happened to that story?

Rashid Khalidi, an avid pro-Palestinian supporter, got $75,000 from Obama and William “Bill” Ayers and the Woods Foundation. Later, Khalidi hosted a fundraiser for Obama and still later, while the Obamas were frequent dinner guests with the Khalidi family, Obama gave him a totally warm send off as he was preparing to leave Chicago for New York. Khalidi even sponsored a page on Obama’s Presidential Campaign website. When pressed about his relationship with Khalidi, Obama denied the relationship and threw Khalidi under the bus. How does that story end?

Nadhmi Auchi is one of Britain’s wealthiest men with a longest list of shady associations and deals and who had extensive ties to Saddam Hussein, who he helped bring to power. Auchi is a convicted felon in France. Auchi yielded great power over Rezko. Auchi was the source of a very large sum of money which went to Rezko just before Rezko and Obama made their great land deal. One Joseph Aramanda Sr., an associate of Rezko, reportedly received a $375,000 kickback in the deal. As a side note of interest, the land and Obama’s house were purchased from a Chicago doctor for…. $375,000 less than the asking price. Did anyone ever follow that tale up?

Remember the infamous Bill Ayers, husband of Bernadine Dohrn? Together, they were quite an item in the Weathermen Underground when they bombed the World Trade Center. Unrepentant Ayers has many times said he wished and still wishes he could have done more. Dohrn was employed at the Chicago Law Firm where Michelle L. Robinson was employed and where, as a matter of further coincidence, Barack Obama became employed. This nice and cozy relationship blossomed over the years with Bill Ayers serving on several committees and boards along with Rezko and/or Obama. Upon learning of Obama’s decision to enter politics, Ayers and Dohrn hosted a party at their house to kick off the political journey that led Obama to the Presidency. Although he had previously admitted it and although that party is well documented in several major newspapers, Obama denied that the party ever occurred during a McCain-Obama debate. What about that? 

And, as Obama stepped into the Oval Offfice, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich stepped into deep dung amid charges he was selling Obama's former Senate seat and that Obama was trying to dictate the winner.  What ever happened to that?  Why the big White House cover-up?   

I guess with the media we have these days, we never will know the answers to these questions, not that it matters.  Or does it? 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
