Obama has his own connections to Sadaam. His bag man and real estate scam buddy, Tony Rezko, is funded by a British Iragi billionaire (N. Auchi) with a long history of aiding the former Iraqi regime. Not a word about this close connection or pretty much anything to do with Obama & Rezko in the U.S. media. Kind of like the Rev. Wright story before the videos made the rounds.
