[The MSM is much too busy checking out Joe the Plumber to concern themselves with Rezko and Auchi.]
Ping.

“The London Times reports that, three weeks before the land transactions, Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi billionaire living in London, loaned $3.5 million to Mr. Rezko, who was his Chicago business partner.”
Lots more:

I’m wondering why Obama had so many Arab friends and influential ones at that. It doesn’t portend well for Israel should “Osama” Obama be elected to the presidency.
Even worse:

Barack Hussein Obama, Antoin Rezko, Nadhmi Auchi, Saddam Hussein = Strange Bedfellows
Excerpt:
The Times has, however, discovered state documents in Illinois recording that Fintrade Services, a Panamanian company, lent money to Mr Obamas fundraiser in May 2005.
Fintrades directors include Ibtisam Auchi, the name of Mr Auchis wife. Mr Auchis spokespeople declined to respond to a question about whether he was linked to this business. as a close friend of Mr Auchi, although Mr Auchi disputes this. The two are involved in a large Chicago land development together. But it is unclear how long the two men have known each other or whether they were linked before the 2003 Iraq war. Neither side would discuss their relationship.
Nadhmi Auchi co-conspired with fellow Baathist Saddam Hussein in 1959 to assassinate then Prime Minister Abd al-Karim Qasim. Rezko and Obama are both financially connected to him.
