Barack Obama — Magna Cum Saudi?
IBD Editorials ^ | September 5, 2008

Posted on 09/05/2008 5:33:51 PM PDT by Kaslin

Election '08: Does Barack Obama owe his meteoric rise to an Israeli-hating adviser to a Saudi billionaire? Why did a race-baiting mentor to the Black Panthers favor this yet unknown community organizer?


In her stunning national political debut as the Republican candidate for vice president, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin described Obama as a man who had written two memoirs but no significant laws or reforms. So how did this unaccomplished community organizer rise to fame and fortune? He had some interesting help.

We know he's a Harvard graduate and was editor of the Harvard Law Review. Less known is the story of how he got into the prestigious Ivy League university. As Newsmax's Kenneth Timmerman reports, he was helped by a letter written by Percy Sutton, former Manhattan borough president and a credible candidate for mayor of New York in 1977.

In an interview earlier this year on New York's all-news cable channel NY1, the 88-year-old Sutton made some interesting revelations about his relationship with the young Obama. He told NY1 reporter Dominic Carter on "Inside City Hall" that he was introduced to Obama by a friend raising money for him. The friend asked Sutton to write a letter in support of Obama's application to Harvard law school.

"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."

I dunno, this whole story sounds pretty iffy. I’m keeping an eye on it, but I’m not convinced yet.

“The friend’s name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas..”

Is that why some people refere to Obambi as the “Mansourian Candidate”?

Very clever.

From the get-go I have wanted to know where Obama got the money to pay for his schooling at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard.

If it were not for Investors Business Daily and the Wall Street Journal, there would be no mainstream media questioning Obama’s past.

Why should the Saudi-funded Al Qaeda attack the White House when it’s far easier to just elect one of their own to it?

Obama is a post turtle. You know that
* he didn't get there by himself
* he doesn't belong there
* he can't get anything done while he's up there

excerpt:

...Although many Americans have never heard of Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (his full name), 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.

A graduate of Howard University with a law degree from the University of California, al-Mansour sits on numerous corporate boards, including the Saudi African Bank and Chicago-based LaGray Chemical Co. LaGray, which was formed to do business in Africa, counts former Nigerian President General Abdusalam Abubakar on its advisory board.

He also sits on the board of the non-profit African Leadership Academy, along with top McCain for President adviser Carly Fiorina, and organized a tribute to the President of Ghana at the Clinton White House in 1995, along with pop star Michael Jackson.

But his writings and books are packed with anti-American rhetoric reminiscent of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s disgraced former pastor.

In a 1995 book, “The Lost Books of Africa Rediscovered,” he alleged that the United States was plotting genocide against black Americans.

The first “genocide against the black man began 300 years ago,” he told an audience in Harlem at a book-signing, while a second “genocide” was on the way “to remove 15 million Black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society.”

In the 1960s, when he founded the African American Association in the San Francisco Bay area, he was known as Donald Warden.

According to the Social Activism Project at the University of California at Berkley, Warden, a.k.a. Khalid al-Mansour, was the mentor of Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his cohort, Bobby Seale....

http://www.cashill.com/natl_general/is_khalid_mansour.htm

...Apparently, al-Mansour serves on the Board of, among others, Saudi African Bank and was responsible for the Africa investment activities of Kingdom Holdings, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal’s investment company.

Two other details argue for this al-Mansour’s involvement in Obama’s academic and literary careers. He has been a guest lecturer at Harvard University and has authored 24 books.

In short, al-Mansour fits the profile of the political godfather. When I was speculating whose “purposeful intervention” had steered Obama’s career through its rough spots, I could not have imagined a more likely candidate...

Islamic Studies Gets $20M Gift

Did anyone catch the fact that Obama answered ORielly the other night,concerning Islamic terrorists,of whom Obama replied “...who have perverted the faith of Islam”, as being a rather unusual comment coming from a self-descibed Christian American “patriot” running for POTUS?
That remark seemed to have a strangely personal edge to the way he said it. Seemed odd to me.

I caught it and it was a completely unnecessary remark. It was odd and out of place.

Could be that he wasn't as smart as Scrappy Biden and get that Law School Scholarship.

http://www.blackpast.org/?q=aah/black-panther-party

...Founded in October of 1966 in Oakland, California by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, the Black Panther Party for Self Defense (BPP) became the most famous black power organization of the late 1960s. Newton and Seale met in 1965 at Merritt College where they were exposed to a burgeoning wave of Black Nationalism, inspired in part by the Afro-American Association, established by Don Warden at the University of California, Berkeley in 1962...

Obama Had Close Ties to Top Saudi Adviser at Early Age (Black Panthers Link)

...But al-Mansour’s (aka DONALD WARDEN sponsorship of Obama as a prospective Harvard law student is important for another reason beyond his Islamic and anti-American rhetoric and early Black Panther ties.

At the time Percy Sutton, a former lawyer for Malcolm X and a former business partner of al-Mansour, says he was raising money for Obama’s graduate school education, al-Mansour was representing top members of the Saudi Royal family seeking to do business and exert influence in the United States...

Obambi is Murtad (convert from Islam). This is considered apostasy and punishable by death.

Some high profile murtads were tollerated for political gain, e.g. Carlos Menem, ex president of Argentina.

What a choice - choosing between Mansourian and Manchurian candidate.

If God has mercy on America, Manchurian candidate will win and follow the steps of William Harrison.
