Antoin Rezko Redivivus

Proof of a meeting between Barack Obama and the Iraqi-born billionaire, Nadhmi Auchi, would be a blow for the Illinois senator's presidential campaign. Obama has repeatedly said that he cannot recollect any meeting with Auchi, a London-based businessman who is appealing a conviction for fraud in France. Auchi was a business contact of Antoin Rezko, a former Chicago developer and Obama fundraiser currently on trial for corruption.

Fraud? ::laughing:: I love the detail that is left out. Nadhmi Auchi, a co conspirator with Saddam Hussein, was charged in 1959 with the attempted assassination of the president of Iraq, Abdul Karim Qasim.

But, fraud does sound nicer!

Andy Martin held a press conference in NYC back in April 15, 2008 about Auchi and his connections to Obama. Glad to see our MSM carrying that story!

"(In 2004) Mr. Auchi traveled by private aircraft to Midway Airport in Chicago and then to a fete at the Four Season Hotel, where he met with his business partner in Chicago real estate, Mr. Rezko, as well as with Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Also present that night, according to a fresh report by James Bone and Dominic Kennedy of the London Times, was State Senator Barack Obama, who had recently won the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate seat...."

Obama's Iraqi Oil for Food connection

Obama has refused to sit down at length with the Chicago reporters who have worked this story for years. But as Milbank pointed out, "The questioning...has only just begun." With old-time Chicago corruption now going international-and Presidential--finding those answers is more urgent than ever.

And all I can think of now is Michelle saying; 'this is the first time in my adult life I have been proud of my country...'

From your link:

>>>Funds from Auchi’s loan may have helped finance a complex series of transactions between Rezko and Democratic Presidential candidate Illinois Senator Barack Obama involving the 2005 purchase of Obama’s Chicago mansion and Rezko’s purchase of an adjoining landlocked parcel.<<<

I’ve got one that says there is a documented financial connection:

Obama needs to be in Gitmo yesterday!
