I wonder if Michelle paid her respects to Tony Rezko’s London based billionaire friend Nahdmi Auchi—a former Baathist who was a noted arms supplier to Saddam Hussein.
Here is a clip from a profile by Real Clear Politics columnist Jack Kelly of this mysterious billionaire who has furiously suppressed UK news stories about himself:
A British citizen of Iraqi descent, Mr. Auchi, 70, is a billionaire, the 279th richest man in the world, according to a Forbes magazine survey last year.
A great deal of Mr. Auchi’s money was made doing business with the regime of Saddam Hussein, much of it under the table. In 1987, Mr. Auchi helped French and Italian firms win a huge oil pipeline contract in Iraq, chiefly by paying off Iraqi officials, according to testimony given by an Italian banker to prosecutors in Milan. In 2003, he was convicted for his role in what was then the largest scandal in French history, involving payoffs from executives of the oil company now known as Total to political figures in Spain, Germany and Africa.
Michelle is totally in the know about Barack’s dealings with Rezko and Auchi. Auchi came over to meet Obama back ins 2004 and wired Rezko $3.5 million to Rezko shortly before Obama bought his Chicago mansion. Obviously Obama himself could not meet Auchi personally, but perhaps it would be possible through Michelle or one of her trusted underlings.
Me thinks there was something more to Michelle’s trip to London than just sightseeing with the kids.
Interesting information...and I agree that there was probably more to the trip than sightseeing with the kids...
This was reported during the election... one more thing the media conveniently ignored. Speaking of Rezko, was he ever sentenced? He went away in the news after the coronation of the Won.
