Obama Linked To Rezko Reception For Controversial Iraqi Billionaire (campaign, Barack Hussein Obama, Levin)

[eastguy]

When Iraqi-born billionaire Nadhmi Auchi attended an April 3, 2004 reception for himself at Tony Rezko's home White House hopeful Barack Obama, and his wife, attended the reception, Stuart Levine testified just now in the trial. Auchi is the man who provided Rezko a $3.5 million loan that Rezko did not disclose to the court -- resulting in his January arrest.
"Mr. and Mrs. Obama were there, were they not?" Rezko lawyer Joseph Duffy asked.
"Yes, sir," Levine said.


So, Tony has a meeting with the billionaire and Barack Hussein Obama was there. Then the billionaire loans Tony money. Then Tony helps Barack get a deal on a house? So could the money that Tony borrowed have been used to get the house deal? Was Tony nothing more than a go between guy? Did Barack promise the Iraqi Billionaire anything? His closed door meetings sure leave allot to be desired--this one could be interpreted so many ways

Testimony at Rezkos trial indicated that at least part of the 3.5 million dollars went to Obama for the mansion. Evidently part of it also went into Obama's campaign according to Rezko's own testimony.

The Obamas bought the house for $300,000 less than the listed price. The Rezkos purchased an adjoining lot for more than the listed price. In addition Rezko payed $14,000 for a privacy fence between the two properties.

Auchi is a British citizen who was born in Iraq. He is considered one of the richest men in England according to some sources, He has served time in prison in France for attempted bribery of a government official. He is known to have ties to arms dealers around the world and may have made money supplying weaponry.

Throwing out a hundred things at once, trying to make something stick. Politics 101.

Let's hope this year, people arent so gullible.
