From some articles, it seems Θbama's mother stayed several years in the Hilton International Hotel (now known as Avari Hotel) in Lahore. Looks like a very high class hotel.

NEW YORK: Chairman Senate Muhammadmian Soomro may be having a friend in White House if Barak Hussain Obama finally succeeds in his presidential bid.
Hardly a few people know about Soomro's link with Obama, which he never discussed it in public. But in private interactions with influential Pakistanis here in the US, Obama disclosed that Soomro's father was his host when he went on a hunting expedition in Jacobabad during his visit to Pakistan in 1981.
While in Karachi, Obama had stayed at the residence of his college friend, Hassan Chandio. In Jacobabad, he was the guest of Soomro family. Muhammadmian Soomro confirmed this information and said it was his first meeting with Obama.
"Yes, he had been our guest and spent three days in Jacobabad," he told The News. Soomro, presently in the US, his second home, said an American friend had told his father, Ahmadmian Soomro, about Obama's arrival in Pakistan and asked him to look after the American. Soomro's father was the deputy speaker of West Pakistan Assembly and had also later served in the Senate.
Ahmadmian Soomro had also served in banking industry and was considered a pioneer in cooperative banking. By the time Soomro's father had hosted Obama, he was only a college student who went to Pakistan on his way from Indonesia where his mother was working with the Ford Foundation's micro credit finance project. Also Obama's mother was a frequent traveller to Pakistan and according to Time Magazine, she had a little bit proficiency in speaking Urdu.
When Soomro was asked about the person who referred Obama to his father, he said he nowadays lived in some country in South America. He was, however, reluctant to disclose his identity, saying he will have to seek permission from that man before giving his profile.
Although, Obama has not disclosed his link with Soomro, he mentioned it during his canvassing campaign while talking to a Pakistani American, Shahid Ahmad Khan, member of Board of Trustees Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Osama was not in Pakistan in 1981. What is your point?
Where was he then?
Barry is that you?
Mansour was a Black Panther and the Ayres gang may well have introduced him.
Looks as though he was in and out. I thought he was in Afganistan. But Osama was fighting the Soviets so Zero will probably claim he was working for the CIA helping defeat the Commies. And the Treason Media will broadcast it.

Obama did his best to cover his tracks in Indonesia during the Summer of 2007.
For those Pakistani moose, donchaknow.
Oddly enough, the last time I heard mention of a hunting expedition in Pakistan, it was Aafia Siddiqui's estranged husband Dr. Mohammed Amjad Khan claiming he needed the night-vision goggles, military manuals and body armor they bought... for a huntng trip.
Siddiqui and her husband were by now being watched by the FBI for having used a debit card to buy night-vision goggles, body armour, and military manuals from American websites, and for donating to charities the FBI watches closely. When questioned, Khan told authorities he had purchased the military items for big-game hunting in Pakistan, saying goggles and armour weren’t available there.They must have some fierce critters if you need body armor... you don't even need that to hunt bear in Alaska.
Hopefully Obama was looking for smaller game.
After graduating, he took an analyst job at Business International Corp. to pay off his loans while looking for a grass-roots organizing job. He had an office and a secretary but it bothered him to be the only black executive, he wrote, so he quit. Soon after, Obama lit out for a $13,000-a-year job as a community organizer in Chicago - where his destiny awaited.--------- "Obama's quiet years in N.Y.C.," HELEN KENNEDY DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER, Daily News ^ | 1/14/07 | Posted on 01/14/2007 8:29:55 AM PST by mdittmar
NY City was an interesting place to be for young men “searching for themselves” in the early eighties...at this time Obama said he was fasting on Sundays; I don’t think fasting was too common at the time even among old hippies so why was he doing this? Muslims would be fasting on Fridays during Ramadan but I can’t vouch for heretical sects like the Nation of Islam.
Brooklyn-based organization, Al Kifah Refugee Center...recruited mujahideen (“holy warriors”) for Osama bin Laden to fight the Soviet army in Afghanistan in the 1980s.
*******
the Al-Kifah Refugee Center, based in Brooklyn, N.Y. Known by various spellings, the center was a recruitment office for Mektab al Khidmat, or MAK [office of services], which bin Laden co-founded in the 1980s to recruit mujahideen to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan, according to the 9-11 Commission.The U.S. government has called MAK the “precursor organization to al-Qaida.” Some people involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing were connected to the Brooklyn center. President Bush designated MAK/Al-Kifah a global terrorist organization soon after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.-

According to the [2005] indictment[of Muntasser & Mubayyid], Care was operating as a branch of a Brooklyn-based organization, Al Kifah Refugee Center, which recruited mujahideen (“holy warriors”) for Osama bin Laden to fight the Soviet army in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Care also published Al Kifah’s militant newsletter Al Hussam (“The Sword”).

I’m looking for the time after he graduated from Harvard Law in the spring of 1991 until April, 1992.
Wow. I’ve thought for some time now that Obama is a stealth Al Quaeda candidate. Now it seems my opinion is now vindicated. Thanks for the excellent post!
With his mama on food stamps, how did this kid find his way into Harvard? Not that it can’t be done. I’m just saying.

Scares the hell out of me.
Can you support that assertion with a source. I visited Pakistan three times during the period 1979-1981 on official business. There may have been travel advisories in effect about travel to Pakistan warning of the dangers involved, especially after our embassy in Islamabad was burned down, but I don't believe there was ever a ban on travel to Pakistan similar to the ones affecting travel to Cuba and North Korea.

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.”

Sen. Obama has refused to instruct Harvard Law School to release any information about his time there as a student, or about his student loans.
*snip*
The Obama campaign told Newsmax that Obama self-financed his three years at Harvard Law School with loans, and did not receive any scholarship from Harvard Law school.
LaBolt denied that Obama received any financial assistance from Harvard or from outside parties. “No - he paid his way through by taking out loans,” he said in an email to Newsmax.
*snip*
Speaking at a campaign event in Haverford, Pa, in April of this year, Michelle Obama claimed that her husband had “just paid off his loan debt” for his Harvard Law School education.
In an appearance in Zanesville, Ohio, in February she bemoaned the fact that many American families were strapped with student loan payments for years after graduation.
“The only reason we’re not in that position is that Barack wrote two best-selling books,” she said. The first of those best-sellers netted the couple $1.2 million in royalties in 2005.
In response to Newsmax questions about the Obama’s college loans, a campaign spokesman cited a report in The Chicago Sun claiming that Obama borrowed $42,753 to pay for Harvard Law School, and “tens of thousands” more to pay for undergraduate studies at Columbia.
*snip*
But a Newsmax review of Senator Obama’s financial disclosures found no trace of any outstanding college loans, going back to 2000.
As a United States Senate candidate, Barack Obama was required to file a financial disclosure form in 2004 detailing his assets, income, consulting contracts, and liabilities.
