But the hits just keep on coming for Barack Hussein Obama, and this time he can’t blame the Hillster for this latest eye-opener. Leave it to those cheeky Brits to uncover what America’s politically-correct-burdened media is too impotent (or just flat out unwilling) to discover itself:
A British-Iraqi billionaire lent millions of dollars to Barack Obama’s fundraiser just weeks before an imprudent land deal that has returned to haunt the presidential contender, an investigation by The Times discloses.
The money transfer raises the question of whether funds from Nadhmi Auchi, one of Britain’s wealthiest men, helped Mr. Obama buy his mock Georgian mansion in Chicago.
A company related to Mr. Auchi, who has a conviction for corruption in France, registered the loan to Mr. Obama’s bagman Antoin “Tony” Rezko on May 23 2005. Mr. Auchi says the loan, through the Panamanian company Fintrade Services SA, was for $3.5 million…
Three weeks later, Mr. Obama bought a house on the city’s South Side while Mr. Rezko’s wife bought the garden plot next door from the same seller on the same day, June 15…Mrs. Rezko paid the asking price for the garden but the Obamas bought the house for $1.65 million– $300,000 less than the asking price. The sellers deny they offered the Obamas a discount on the house because the garden had fetched full price from Mrs. Rezko.
One day Obama’s rockin’ Muslim garb. The next he’s being endorsed by the head of the Nation of Islam. And the day after that? His million-and-a-half dollar mansion is being financed by an unsavory Muslim billionaire and a crook from Chicago. If Barack’s heretofore innocuous message of “change” really means $3.5 million “loans” for all of us, then damn, what the hell are we waiting for– get this guy in office! Well, so long as Mr. Rezko’s goons aren’t breaking our kneecaps the day after tomorrow. The name “Tony” Rezko just screams “Sicilian,” and I’m not talking about the pizza.

You’d think with $3.5 mil, that he could at least afford to not look like he took a roll of Charmins and spun around like a kid with a baseball bat trying to get to the target first without falling down. On a personal note, just because a name might scream Sicilian doesn’t necessarily mean it is…if he were, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to be doing this publicly, I mean I would assume that’s how it would go…or at least that’s how he should have been advised, by say, a Consiglieri.

good point… i think i’ll have to consult with my Consiglieri prior to posting any italian-related blogs… you know, just to be safe
