| Barack Obama -- Magna Cum Saudi? |
| 2008-09-07 |
| In her stunning national political debut as the Republican candidate for vice president, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin described Obama as a man who had written two memoirs but no significant laws or reforms. So how did this unaccomplished community organizer rise to fame and fortune? He had some interesting help. We know he's a Harvard graduate and was editor of the Harvard Law Review. Less known is the story of how he got into the prestigious Ivy League university. As Newsmax's Kenneth Timmerman reports, he was helped by a letter written by Percy Sutton, former Manhattan borough president and a credible candidate for mayor of New York in 1977. In an interview earlier this year on New York's all-news cable channel NY1, the 88-year-old Sutton made some interesting revelations about his relationship with the young Obama. He told NY1 reporter Dominic Carter on "Inside City Hall" that he was introduced to Obama by a friend raising money for him. The friend asked Sutton to write a letter in support of Obama's application to Harvard law school. "The friend's name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas," Sutton said. "He is the principal adviser to one of the world's richest men. He told me about Obama." Sutton recalled that al-Mansour said, "There is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends up there because you used to go up there to speak. Would you please write a letter in support of him?" Sutton did. According to Timmerman, "At the time Percy Sutton, a former lawyer for Malcolm X and a former business partner of al-Mansour, says he (al-Mansour) was raising money for Obama's graduate school education (and) al-Mansour was representing top members of the Saudi Royal family seeking to do business and exert influence in the United States." One of those Saudi royals was Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a nephew of Saudi King Abdullah. He was the Saudi prince who offered to donate $10 million to help New York rebuild after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. After the prince publicly suggested (as Obama's pastor, Jeremiah Wright, did recently) that U.S. policies brought on the attacks, then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani told Prince Alwaleed where he could deposit his check. Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour, born Donald Warden, is another interesting fellow from Obama's past. He himself is a graduate of Harvard and has been a guest lecturer there. His writings and statements reveal him to be an ideological clone of the Rev. Wright, who married Barack and Michelle and baptized their children. In his 1995 book, "The Lost Books of Africa Rediscovered," al-Monsour alleged that America was plotting genocide against black Americans. The first "genocide against the black man began 300 years ago," he said at a book-signing in Harlem, while a second "genocide" was on the way "to remove 15 million black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society." Al-Mansour told an audience in South Africa that "the Palestinians are treated like savages," something our worst ex-president, Jimmy Carter, as well as Wright might agree with. He has accused Israeli Jews of "stealing the land the same way the Christians stole the land from the Indians in America." When he was known as Donald Warden, according to the Social Activism Project at the University of California at Berkeley, al-Monsour was the mentor of Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his associate, Bobby Seale. California Congresswoman Barbara Lee entered an official statement of appreciation of Warden and his Black Panther colleagues for their role in founding a radical group known as the African-American Association into the Congressional Record of April 23, 2007. What did this radical extremist see in young Barack Obama that he would seek to sponsor and perhaps finance Obama's education? Obama says he paid his way solely through student loans. How did they meet? Where did the money he raised come from? Now that we know who the father of Bristol Palin's baby is, maybe the mainstream media will have time to find out. |

| #17 How To Save the Government $5 Million A president's pension currently is $191,300 per year, until he is 80 years old. Assuming the next president lives to age 80. Sen. McCain would receive ZERO pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president. Sen. Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800 in pension. Therefore it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November. How's that for Rantburg, non partisan thinking??? |

| #16 Heard him myself yesterday in a "Did he really say that" Moment Said on television, "Hydrogen is not really a good energy source, there aren't that many rivers and dams" |

| #15 Yeah, I'm hoping that becomes increasingly clear to the adoring masses Alan. |

| #14 lotp, et al, my reference to Zero's "My muslim faith" was not meant to support an AH HA he's a Muslim moment. It was to show that the buffoon is a gaffe-riot. Without a teleprompter he can't open his mouth without inserting at least one foot. Look, what's the longest lasting conspiracy theory about O man? That he's a secret Muslim with all that implies. So don't you thnk that's the LAST thing he should goof up on?? Listen to it, he was NOT being sarcastic at all he just screwed up. Given his babbling after it where Steph had to correct him it is clearly an example of his total lack of ability to form complete sentences in a serious manner without a script. |

| #13 barry also said that the previous (still current) administration drove the (economic) car "off of the ditch". I think he came across as a bumbling dumbassed lawyer rather than subconscience slip-ups. |

| #12 Another Radical Obama Association? In one of the videos, titled “Christians Designed Discrimination” uploaded by a YouTube user named IslamStudios, Al-Mansour said, “White people don't feel bad, whatever you do to them, they deserve it, God wants you to do it and that's when you cut out the nose, cut out the ears, take flesh out of their body, don't worry because God wants you to do it." A sane society would drop al-Mansour from the end of a rope. |

| #11 I'd be careful with stuff like this. Obama has enough good re4asons for voting against him without resort to tinfoil-hat-looking conspiracy theories. We start doing this sort of crap and we will easily look as stupid, unhinged, and desperate as Andrew Sullivan and Daily Kos do demanding DNA tests to prove Trig Palin is Sarah's son. |

| #10 If the press woudl jsut put in the efforts on Obama that they put in on Palin, we'd either find out the horrible truth of him being a puppet, or else find out with releief that he's just a rube. The problem is, we simply do not know at this time, and the press had abdicated their responsibility to fiarly inform the public. |

| #9 It's the equivalent of Palin asking with the VP (really) does. |

| #8 If he was being sarcastic it didn't work. |

| #7 I think he was being sarcastic, i.e. implying that McCain falsely accuses him of being Muslim. |

| #6 Have you caught "the Messiah's" latest gaffe?! On George Stephanopolus' show he talks about "my Muslim faith" before catching it two sentences (if you can call those sentences) later and changing it to Christian faith. Unbelievable. |

| #5 I've said before (I think here) that he's a Manchurian candidate, Woozle. And who has the money and the desire to take over the world, you ask? You know the answer to that one. As for the interview with the law school profs, thanks for the report. Too bad the MSM aren't interested in reporting it. Or anything else about The Anointed. >:-( (If there's a tape or transcript of the interview, send it along to LGF and watch the hilarity ensue.) |

| #4 It is becoming more obvious that Hussein was "selected" years ago to be groomed as a manchurian candidate. By whom ? Where does all this money supply come from ? Who has hundreds of millions they'll never miss ? Also, I heard an interview (I believe from WGN radio Chicago) with two law school faculty from Univ. of Chicago Law School. Could not have been more derisive of Bama. Obviously, he had no credentials, no published papers, no history of any kind which would qualify him to even be near Univ. of Chicago Law School. He was never actually on the faculty, they couldn't pull that off. He was merely a paid lecturer. He does not have, nor has he ever had, any qualification whatever, to teach constitutional law. The faculty, as these two relate, were in open rebellion about allowing him (Barry) anywhere near the law school. This was crammed down their throats from the top. They were unsure who "the top" was, but insinuated that it might be the president of the university, though the tracks were well covered. Wonder if the wonderful Mayor Daley and friend Ayers were involved? Bama would never attend any faculty functions. Refused to have any discussions with the true faculty. One of the profs said that when he approached Hussein at some sort of public function, Bama refused to talk to him and just pivoted and walked away. He doesn't know enough law to beat a traffic ticket, most likely. What in hell is being perpetrated here ? |

| #3 Every rumor has some kernel of truth and these types of rumors keep popping up like a bad penny. His campaign seems to do little if anything to deny them, I was never going to vote for him but the more I see him play to adoring crowds, the more uneasy I get. I keep thinking I seen this story before and it doesn't end well. |

| #1 Has anyone else seen a report about Obama meeting privately back in May with a top American Hezbollah apologist back in May? I'm still looking to see if I can find it again. |
