My guess is Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal had a hand in this. He’s, according to Time magazine, the “Warren Buffett of Saudi Arabia” and the 19th richest person in the world according to Forbes. His biggest investments are reported to include Citigroup and News Corps., parent of FOX News. He also owns shares in Coca-Cola, Ford, McDonald’s, Amazon.com, Disney, Time Warner.

This Prince was the guy who wanted to donate 10 million to NYC after 9-11, but Guiliani refused to accept it. Apparently, he loves to donate to Muslim charities...In 2002, the Saudi Arabian government raised more than $100 million for Palestinians through live, government-organized telethons. The purpose for hosting the telethons was to benefit the families of “martyrs,” otherwise known as suicide bombers. Billionaire investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal donated $27 million to the Palestinian fund. In 2005, he donated $20 million each to Harvard and Georgetown Universities for Islamic studies programs.

Some believe that this guy is the person behind Obama’s education. It’s been circulating on the web that what bin Talal wants, he gets. If it’s in America, he has used Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (founder of Black Panthers, went to Harvard Law School, Opec representative) to help him acquire it. Al-Monsour and the Prince go way back into the 1970s. His relationship with the Prince helped al-Monsour become legal counsel to King Saud.

Tie these guys to Obama?

There a guy named Percy Sutton. Sutton, the founder of Inner City Broadcasting. He claims al-Mansour contacted him to ask a favor: Would Sutton write a letter in support of Obama’s application to Harvard Law School?

“He wrote to me about him,” Sutton recalled. “And his introduction was there is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends up there because you used to go up there to speak. Would you please write a letter in support of him?”

Sutton said he acted on his friend al-Mansour’s advice.

“I wrote a letter of support of him to my friends at Harvard, saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I certainly hoped they would treat him kindly,” Sutton told NY1.

Sutton did not say why al-Mansour was helping Obama, how he discovered him, or from whom he was raising money on Obama’s behalf.
