Glenn Beck was first with this on his awesome, awesome, awesome radio show days ago. I kept waiting for McCain or “his friends” in the press to say something, but heard nothing.

There is so much on this guy that it is hard to even stick with one thing. McCain and the GOP have to figure out what to stick with this last month and pound it.

“The lawsuit seems to have targetted the redlining practice.”
Have you read the complaint? That seems like the logical place to start before telling us what the lawsuit was about.

Big stuff if this can be corroborated.
Wouldn't it be a matter of public record?

I have sent an official challenge to Snopes.com, who characterize this as FALSE accusation:
"I never thought I'd see the day, but I have to DISAGREE just a bit about something in one of your explanations.
Under "Barack Obama - The Loan Arranger" you state...
"The case was eventually settled out of court,... Citibank agreeing to help ease the way for low- and moderate- income people to apply for mortgages."
Why? If the case is about race, then for Citibank a compromise settlement would not be about income-level loans, it would be about a commitment to watch over the process better, diversity training, or some other race-related policy changes.
Citibank's side of the settlement makes it specifically about the income-level of they're loaning practices.
I have no doubt the plaintifs were wronged, at least in part, by suspicions on the part of Citibank personnel, but the RESULT of the lawsuit did force Citibank down the bad-loans road. And I'm sure the settlement included proving to some watchdog group that corrections had been made, and I doubt they'd accept "no loans to any-color poor people" as the spirit of the intent of this settlement."

Obama Misleads, Misrepresents, Lies and Panders and tells everyone to look the other way by accusing them of distration? Who is the real distractor?....
Media won’t help because you can’t question Obama or you are obviously a racist.
Imagine what a Marxist Socialist study of Saul Alinsky, Ayers, and Jeramiah Wright, could do with that kind of POWER and ambition. Chavez did the exact same thing in Venezuela and the Left hearlds him as a hero.
Obama = Chavez.
