Obama’s Harvard Years: Questions Swirl
Newsmax.com ^ | September 23, 2008 | Kenneth R. Timmerman

How exactly did Barack Obama pay for his Harvard Law School education?

The way the Obama campaign has answered the question was simply hard work and student loans.

But new questions have been raised about Obama’s student loans and Obama’s ties to a radical Muslim activist who reportedly was raising money for Obama’s Harvard studies during the years 1988 to 1991.

The allegations first surfaced in late March, when former Manhattan Borough president Percy Sutton told a New York cable channel that a former business partner who was “raising money” for Obama had approached him in 1988 to help Obama get into Harvard Law School.

In the interview, Sutton says he first heard of Obama about twenty years ago from Khalid Al-Mansour, a Black Muslim and Black Nationalist who was a “mentor” to the founders of the Black Panther party at the time the party was founded in the early 1960s.

Sutton described al-Mansour as advisor to “one of the world’s richest men,” Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal.

Prince Alwaleed catapulted to fame in the United States after the September 11 attacks, when New York mayor Rudy Guiliani refused his $10 million check to help rebuild Manhattan, because the Saudi prince hinted publicly that America’s pro-Israel policies were to blame for the attacks.

Sutton knew Al-Mansour well, since the two men had been business partners and served on several corporate boards together.

As Sutton remembered, Al-Mansour was raising money for Obama’s education and seeking recommendations for him to attend Harvard Law School.

“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.”

Nothing to see here, move on. [/sarc]
It really would not surprise me if Obama was the Arabic version of the Manchurian candidate.

Response from the MSM...(crickets). In my lifetime I have never seen the press so invested in one candidates victory and another's defeat. They have thrown all objectivity out the window and seem to be damn proud of it as their ratings and subscriptions reach all time lows. Time will tell, but I think the “silent majority” will be heard from again on election day.

Make no mistake: Michelle Obama is as big a trojan as her fatally-dangerous-to-America spouse.

It has officially become “reporter season”.

The lady who demended “where are the 30 investigators in chicago investigating Obama/ayers”

Perhaps we should be getting in reporter’s faces. Telling them we know they are in the tank for the left.

Thanks Bill and Hillary, for quietly making sure all your previous op research on Obama is made public!

Two of the best articles I have ever read on Obama; ‘The Jihad candidate 1’ and ‘The Jihad Candidate 2’. Don’t miss these. Excellent!!

The racism club is killing this country. The black culture has wrapped themselves around a victimology mindset with the help of the press and leftist.

Try this. Ask a young African male this question (I have). Kobe Bryant makes $25,000,000 a year, how much should he pay in taxes??

The answer will usually be $1,000,000. When you mention it is closer to $13,000,000, they look like they got hit with a bat.

Point is...people are clueless first and hyper racial sensitive second.

Seven short years after Sept. 11 and this country may be on the verge of electing a radical Islamist to it’s highest office. Shows you how screwed up and uninformed the people are today.

It’s amazing to me that only 8,625 have seen this video (And naturally Youtube has disabled comments)

I don’t know, but I’ll bet Kobe pays out plenty to charitable organizations to help him with his taxes. That is fine with me. Look at the paltry amount that BHO and his bride donated to charity - about 1% of their income up until the last few years when they became millionaires - they tried to count donations to political causes, but that had to be corrected. Poor brother George in Africa hasn’t gotten a dime from the Obamas — George should start a foundation and maybe then his brother would happily donate.

What of any value could he do to make $25,000,000.00 per year?
