There are many questions which remain unanswered about the mysterious Barack Obama. The mainstream media has vetted Gov. Sarah Palin more in the past week than they've bothered to vet Sen. Barack Obama over the past year. When you start digging into Obama's background, you turn up more questions than answers.
Obama's father was a Kenyan citizen and his mother was American. His name as a young child was changed to Barry Soetoro when his mother married Indonesian citizen Lolo Soetoro and moved to Jakarta. Indonesian school records state that Obama was an Indonesian citizen and not an American citizen and that his religion was Islam and not Christian, protestations by Obama to the contrary notwithstanding. When or how Obama acquired U.S. citizenship or changed his name back to Barack Hussein Obama is unclear. A birth certificate produced by the Obama campaign was determined by several document experts to be a forged document.
We know from his autobiography that he had Muslim roommates in college of foreign nationality. Now it turns out that an influential, radical black Muslim with close ties to the Saudi royal family and an outspoken opponent of Israel helped finance Obama's law school education. Obama's benefactor at the young age of 25 is Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour a/k/a Donald Warden. Here are some facts you should know about al-Mansour according to a Newmax investigative report:
* "He is well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of Israel."
* In a 1995 book, “The Lost Books of Africa Rediscovered,” he alleged that the United States was plotting genocide against black Americans.
* He was the mentor of Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his cohort, Bobby Seale.
* Al-Mansour’s more recent videotaped speeches focus on Muslim themes, and abound with anti-Semitic theories and anti-Israel vitriol.
* At the same time he was raising money for Obama's education he was representing top members of the Saudi Royal family seeking to do business and exert influence in the United States.
* He advises Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in his U.S. investments. Prince Talal is most famous for offering $10 million to the City of New York following 9/11, a contribution turned down by Mayor Rudy Giuliani because the Prince said American policies were to blame for the terrorist attacks. Prince Alwaleed has made tens of millions in contributions to Muslim-American charities, some of whose leaders have been charged by our government with terrorism-related ties. Prince Alwaleed also donates millions to Harvard for Islamic studies.
Newmax sought a response from the Obama campaign about the financial assistance Obama received from al-Mansour, but the campaign refused to respond. This disclosure came in a very unlikely fashion. Percy Sutton, a prominent African-American businessman, was being interviewed when he described how he first came to know Obama. “I was introduced to (Obama) by a friend who was raising money for him,” Sutton told NY1 city hall reporter Dominic Carter. “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, the founder of Inner City Broadcasting, said al-Mansour contacted him to ask a favor: Would Sutton write a letter in support of Obama’s application to Harvard Law School?"
Think about how many mainstream media reports there have been this past week trying to link Gov. Sarah Palin to the Alaskan Independence Party, which supports secession from the United States. Yet, this revelation about Obama's past received no attention from the news media. Why? Obama critic Andy Martin thinks the revelation is a big one. "This latest disclosure may be the 'smoking gun' that discredits Obama and destroys his candidacy." "And I think I know where it came from. I honestly do not see Obama surviving financial links to a close adviser of a member of the Saudi Arabia monarchy, not when Saudis were the instigators of 9/11." "Even a slight link to Saudi money would disqualify anyone from the presidency in the mind of almost every American." I agree with Martin that it is a big revelation. But this American news media has already decided Obama is The One. I have little confidence this will make its way into any mainstream media reports.
I am coping it and sending it to everyone I know.
Send this to Drudge.
Based on past experience, I highly doubt they will.
Can't exactly blame the press if the RNC PR department is run by idiots.
And why isn’t he a member of the bar?
He’s NOT a member of the bar? I honestly didn’t know this....
You have piqued my curiosity! ;-o
Obama’s not a member of the bar? Didn’t he work as a lawyer in Chicago and teach classes in Constitutional Law somewhere?
I realize it’s not necessary to be a lawyer to be a law professor, but it’s a little odd if he’s never passed the bar anywhere. And I thought he had practiced law at some point (but his background is so obscure that I may just have imagined this!).
The RNC has not exactly done a great job over the past few years, but they can’t touch this stuff and they know it. The news media will never, ever investigate Obama, period. Forget it. All they will do is accuse the Republicans of racism for even bringing it up, and do so loudly. You surely know that any accusation of racism is treated as proof of guilt, and the RNC does not want to have to fight that battle at this point in the campaign. They are just going to have to win on the merits.
I would certainly let the Obama campaign now the RNC has it. Let them know if they want to play dirty the RNC has more. Every phony mud sling against Palin should be met in kind.
All they have to do is basically insinuate that the Saudis by way of Al-Mansour paid for HUSSEIN to go to Harvard, hardly racist.

I don't consider it "racist" for either Al-Mansour or the Saudis to have paid for his education. The question is WHY did they pay for his education?
You don’t HONESTLY think the Messiah Worshipping Metrosexuals in the Media will allow ANY major network to cover this, do you?
Sleeper........
According to pubicdata.com, but Barak and Michelle had law licenses in Illinois since 1999 but neither are active!
whoever paid deserves a refund.
Name: Barack Hussein Obama
Date Admitted: December 17, 1991

Authorized to Practice? No
Voluntarily not authorized to practice law.

Meaning they’re not involved in the actual practice of law.
I’ve always found it odd that both Obamas constantly bring up the “fact” that they just recently paid off their student loans. Why bother to tell everyone that...over and over again.
