Obama's name in Rezko trial
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES ^ | April 15, 2008 | Staff Reporters

Posted on 04/15/2008 12:52:19 PM PDT by Snurple

Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama was again drawn into Tony Rezko's corruption trial on Monday, when the prosecution's star witness placed Obama at a party for an Iraqi-born billionaire who was later barred entry to the United States.

Stuart Levine testified under cross-examination that Obama and his wife, Michelle, attended the April 3, 2004, reception for Nadhmi Auchi.

If it was BUSH or MCCAIN it would be leading the news since yesterday. Since it is Obama, nobody even knows.

This strikes me as a ticking time bomb.

The Dims may really regret nominating another candidate not fully vetted.

Another ticking time bomb, IMO, is the traitorous Liberal Jimmah Carter sucking up to our enemies. If I had a son or daughter that died in either Iraq or Afganistan, I would be livid at this DemoRAT Liberal traitor’s actions. I would be storming into the halls of Congress demanding the DemoRATS denounce this schmuck.

So

Is this “racist, xenophobic, or mean-spirited?”

It's obvious that ANYTHING negative about Obama is either “racist, xenophobic, or mean-spirited.”

The candidate whose middle name shall not me mentioned, appears to have a special status, may that be with the media, his rivals within the Democratic party, or with the Republicans. What's happening here is obvious, be careful what you say to or about Obama, he's the “golden boy.”

Liberals can attend any church or reception that they want, regardless of it’s content. Can’t we just move along and get back to HOPE?

He won't admit it, but given his past statements and church's attitude, IMHO Obama is every bit as much a Hamas-lover as Jimmuh.

You know, after reading the Wikipedia entry on this Nadhmi Auchi character, I think I’m beginning to understand for the first time the real reasons why Obama was so adamantly opposed to overthrowing Saddam Hussein’s regime...

Obama didn’t hear anything at the function. He thought it was supposed to be like church.

You can add Hitlery, Kerry, Schumer, Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Kennedy, Reid, and all the other Liberal traitors and RINO’s that disgrace the halls of Congress. Our forefathers are turning in their graves.
