Obama Rezco Auchi | Drudge Retort

The money transfer raises the question of whether funds from Nadhmi Auchi, one of Britain's wealthiest men, helped Mr Obama buy his mock Georgian mansion in Chicago.

...and what he wanted as payback.

Check the 3rd page of the article. Auchi makes Rezko look like a saint.

Or this article

"Mr. Auchi was a leading supplier of arms to Saddam's regime. A former Belgian ambassador to Luxembourg charged that a bank in Luxembourg owned principally by Mr. Auchi laundered funds -- including oil for food money -- for Saddam and other Islamic dictators.

"The name Nadhmi Auchi was just another name for Saddam's intelligence service, or so we thought," said Nibras Kazimi, a former Iraqi dissident who is now a visiting scholar at the Hudson Institute in Washington D.C.

Mr. Auchi is a business partner of Syrian-born businessman Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who has supported Mr. Obama financially since his first run for the Illinois state senate in 1996.

The connection between Mr. Auchi and Sen. Obama is tenuous. But given Mr. Auchi's shady past, his history of bribing politicians, it's not unreasonable to ask if Mr. Auchi, through Mr. Rezko, was trying to buy influence with a rising political star. And it's curious that outside of the Chicago Sun Times and the Chicago Tribune, both of which have written extensively on the Rezko-Obama relationship, only a British newspaper is asking."

What did he get as payback?

Was it that he paid above the appraised value for the land?

Hmm, not too many posters here.

Q: The seller of your house appears to be a doctor at the University of Chicago . Do you or your wife know him? If so, did either of you ever talk to him about subdividing the property? If you ever did discuss the property with him, when were those conversations?

A: We did not know him personally, though my wife worked in the same University hospital. The property was subdivided and two lots were separately listed when we first learned of it. We did not discuss the property with the owners; the sale was negotiated for us by our agent.

Ok,
pretnd you're explaining this to a 10 year old for me. I need you really smart righties to explain what crime or impropriety or WTF you are suggesting was the disqualifying act here?

You're not telling me that he pressured the SEC to drop an investigation into a corrupt savings and loan that stole billions of dollars from retirement accounts and caused the biggest bank failure in American history are you?

Oh, right, that's your guy.

This thread died the death.

Will Mr. Obama end up in the jail house instead of the White House?

"The "makin's is there."

This will unravel and I suspect that it's going to make Mr. Obama and his associates look worse and worse.
