Here is the Politico story from September 04, 2008 with a statement from the Obama campaign ...
“Obama did not know and does not know Khalid al-Mansour.”
Obama camp denies Sutton story
Whether you believe it or not is your option.
This guy is enough of a SOB without dragging up this factually shaky crap. (Which I think Obots post, anyway>)
(1) For the gazillionth time: The guy was PRESIDENT of the Harvard Law Review. It's an administrative post and since the Review has paid administrators, Obama's main function was mouthing off at meetings and standing around cocktail parties looking browner than other people ... and mouthing off. No Harvard Review Editor would have let this idiot near a manuscript.
(2)Mansour may have something top do with the Black Muslim connection with Saudi Arabia. And it may well be his source of mysterious millions. However, there are 3500 Princes of the Blood in KSA, and about 10,000 other Princes. Many are in the billionaire category, have large retinues, staffs, and intriguers hanging about them, and many independently support the development of Wahabbi Mosques for African-Americans ... and everywhere else. This probably is not an Official KSA Goverment deal. Some Princes are in the Gov, many more out and intriguing with various religious factions to get in. You wanna go crazy ... follow money around Saudi Arabia. It's run the same way Tony Soprano runs North Jersey on TV. The oil comes out of the ground, gets into tankers, and the rest is Muslim Monkeyshines.
Percy Sutton? Still dead, but a hero of the Tuskegee Airmen, and a NYC/State/National Power Broker for years. If he says he got BHO, Jr. into Harvard at the behest of Mansour, who paid for it, that is exactly what happened. With Percy on the team, and Manour's checkbook open, Harvard Law would take Lassie, even with no LSAT. BTW, Harvard dear Harvard Law is mighty tough to get into ... but it's even tougher to get thrown out of. Lassie, once in, would pass right through.
BTW, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Deval Patrick*, and whoever that sickly looking dude in the WH actually is, together are not fit to shine Percy's shoes.
*Now there, there is a totally worthless politician. Two towns in MA named after him already, though: Marblehead, and Athole.
