Obama Dream Team
1. Mr. Antoin Rezko who holds a dual US-Iraqi citizenship, instead of handing cash to Mr. Obama, Rezko handed Obama a preferential price for property. This is the same form of “honest graft” and preferential treatment that sent former Illinois Governor Otto Kerner to jail over 30 years ago, see United States v. Isaacs, 493 F.2d 1124 (7th Cir. 1974).
Rezko’s connection to Obama began well before Obama ran for office and helped secure funds for Obama’s initial campaigns. As a major mob figure, Rezko’s is NOT a civic-minded fellow who simply enjoys political fundraising because he delights in good government.
It is also important to note that Mr. Rezko is a long time associate of IRAQI billionaire Nadhmi Auchi and recently Rezko received a $3.5 million loan from Mr. Auchi which helped to fund the homes Obama and Rezko bought.
2. The Auchi-Obama links go beyond the mansion deal with Rezko. The Times of London February 1 reports uncovering, “state documents in Illinois recording that Fintrade Services, a Panamanian company, lent money to (an) Obama fundraiser in May 2005. Fintrade’s directors include Ibtisam Auchi, the name of Mr. Auchi’s wife.”
Auchi’s Saddam links trace back to a failed 1959 assassination attempt on the life of then-Iraqi-prime-minister Abdul Karim Qasim. Auchi prospered mightily in Saddam’s regime collecting “commissions” on sale of weapons and other goods to Iraq in the 1980s and 1990s.
Also Auchi was a beneficiary of Saddam Oil for Food fraud that channeled millions of dollars to heads of state, activists, terrorists, and journalists--many of whom returned the favor by backing Saddam in 2003 when the US finally invaded.
“(In 2004) Mr. Auchi traveled by private aircraft to Midway Airport in Chicago and then to a fete at the Four Season Hotel, where he met with his business partner in Chicago real estate, Mr. Rezko, as well as with Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Also present that night, according to a fresh report by James Bone and Dominic Kennedy of the London Times, was State Senator Barack Obama, who had recently won the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate seat....”
Living in the UK, Mr. Auchi is now listed as Britain’s 18th-richest man.
Auchi was denied entry into the US in 2005. It is believed that he was attempting in 2005 to win a US visa with the help of Rezko several as-yet-unnamed Illinois political figures.
3. James Meeks – an Illinois state senator and pastor of Obama.
Last week Mr. Meeks called white American mayors “slave masters” and referred to black preachers and politicians who “protect” the “white man” as “house n-ggers.”
He was recorded telling the mostly black congregation any “white Christian” who doesn’t vote for him is a “racist.”
Obama attends Bible Study Classes with Meeks. Meeks is one of Obama’s Super Delegates and is listed on Obama’s campaign website as prominent black supporter
4. Mr. Wright pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ which is theologically closer to Karl Marx and Black Nationalism, than to Christianity was Obama’s mentor for over 20 years and Obama’s spiritual campaign advisor.
Mr. Wright violent rhetoric against whites, gays and the American government are reminiscent of Hitler hate speeches.
Obama’s church published an open letter from a Palestinian activist that labels Israel an “apartheid” regime and claims that scientist are working on an “ethnic bomb” that kills “blacks and Arabs.”
Obama’s Trinity United Church of Christ also defends terrorism as legitimate resistance, refuses to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compares the Hamas official charter – which calls for the murder of Jews – to America’s Declaration of Independence.
Following Mr. Obama’s speech defending Mr. Wright, Mr. Obama telephoned Mr. Wright. Shortly after that phone call, Mr. Wright retired as pastor and was given a 1.6 million dollar home.
5. Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn were members of the Weather Underground, a group that killed police and tried to bomb the US Capitol.
Obama served with Ayers on the board of a small, leftist foundation, the Woods Fund from 1999 until 2002 and received several thousand dollars annually as compensation.
According to the 2001 annual report, the fund made a $6000 discretionary grant to Rev. Wright’s Trinity United Church “in recognition of Barack Obama’s contribution of services to the Woods Fund as a director.”
In a recent interview with the New York Times Mr. Ayers said: “I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough.”
6. Merrill A. McPeak is Obama’s military adviser and national campaign co-chairman. Mr. McPeak said that American Jews are the “problem.”
McPeak has claimed “Christian Zionists were driving America’s policy in Iraq to benefit Israel.”
