You may want to hose down after reading this filth.
This is scummy Chicago-Rezko-Obama politics at its worst.

Nibraz Kazimi at the Talisman Gate has this latest awful news for the Obama Campaign.
The Messiah better work a miracle and keep this one out of the mainstream media's hands.
Talsiman Gate reported:
Ayham Alsammarae, Iraq’s slimy ex-Minister of Electricity under the Bremer and Allawi administrations, who had escaped from an Iraqi prison by hiring an American security company to break him out back in December 2006, has resurfaced in the Jordanian capital Amman where he gave a press conference today saying, among other things, that he hoped that the insurgency in Iraq “would continue [against U.S. occupation] and avenges the Iraqi people.”There is much more at Talisman Gate.
Alsammarae, an Iraqi-American Chicagoan, added during remarks carried by Radio Sawa (Arabic link) that he had contributed the maximum allowable of $2,300 to Barack Obama’s campaign.
But there’s another Obama link to Alsammarae: while serving as electricity minister Alsammarae had been involved in brokering deals in the Iraqi electricity sector for Antoin Rezko, Obama’s long-term friend and patron. Rezko is the Syrian-American hustler who was convicted of fraud in an Illinois court on the day that Obama secured the Democratic nomination.
Rezko and Alsammarae were college room-mates.
Big Hat Tip BG!
More... Bill Baar's Westside says that Alsammarae's family members were working with Durbin and Obama's offices for his return to Chicago. There are reports that hundreds of millions went missing when he was the electricity minister in Iraq.
It's no surprose then that Aiham Alsammarae helped bail out buddy Antoin "Tony" Rezko from jail in Chicago.
BIG--- UPDATE: Alsammarae was seen partying at the Rezko residence with Illinois Democratic Governor Blagojevich and Rezko buddy Nadhmi Auchi, via Illinoize in 2004:
Controversial figure Nadhmi Auchi met with Illinois Democratic Governor Blagojevich at the Rezko residence in 2004. Look who is sitting in the background. Auchi was a big hit with the Illinois Democrats, via Illinoize.
But, that's not all...
*** Barack Obama said he didn't recall a party at Tony Rezko's home where Saddam Hussein's intelligence service frontman Nadhi Auchi was the guest of honor but not there are reports that Obama actually made a few toasts at the party.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported (here):
** To wit: Dem presidential contender Barack Obama's handlers may be telling the press Obama has NO "recollection" of a 2004 party at influence peddler Tony Rezko's Wilmette house, but a top Sneed source claims Obama not only gave Rezko's guest of honor, Iraqi billionaire Nadhmi Auchi, a big welcome... but he made a few toasts!"Hope and Change" or just "Chicago-style Politics"?

UPDATE 2: A. Jacksonian put together a report on Obama's many crooked connections in Iraq.
No wonder he doesn't want to go there!

It will be extremely interesting to see who Obama will not be willing to throw under the bus.

ReplyDeleteAn Obama Patron and Friend Until an Indictment
excerpt:
[Back in the 1990s, Mr. Rezko’s office was adorned with framed photos of candidates he viewed as up-and-comers. Among them was Barack Obama, a state legislator whose first campaign donations included $2,000 from Mr. Rezko’s companies. As Mr. Obama built a career that carried him to the Senate in 2004, Mr. Rezko was there with him, holding fund-raisers and rallying support.]
as we all know, there's much more to Obama's connections, not to mention ie: Rezko, Auchi, Khalidi, Ayers, or Odinga etc' connections..
ps: Nahanni.. Obama may publicly toss his dubious (to say the least) connections of over 2 decades under buses.. but privately, Obama has no compunctions about their activities continuing via the basement (so to speak)..

ReplyDeletespeaking about bus tossing..
another Obama/Rezko connection
excerpt:
[In 2006, when Illinois State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias was running for office, his good friend Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) not only vouched for him but also appeared in a campaign commercial in support of his campaign.
When Giannoulias visited Chicago's SouthtownStar editorial board last week, he said that he had "met several times" with convicted political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko as a "banking customer," Kristen McQueary reported June 15, 2008.]
[P.S. Would it surprise anyone to know that Obama's close friend Alexi Giannoulias was tossed under the Obama bus more than two years ago —and Giannoulias still runs the Obama endorsement on his official website?]

Nadhmi Auchi
ReplyDeleteIs that the same Nadmi Auchi who was knighted by the late Pope John Paul II with the Pontifical Order of Pope Saint Sylvester in 2004? Just curious because I had never heard of him so I looked him up on Wikipedia.
Pioneer Press had this back in 2006 but the link is gone now. Joe Biden actually had the Alsammarae story on his blog then too but that's gone now too...
ReplyDeletePioneer Press at the bottom of this link,
So now Dania and other family members are pleading with American government officials, including Sens. Dick Durbin and Barack Obama, to intervene and ensure Aiham's safety.
"We are hoping the State Department will step in and save his life," said Dania, who recently returned home to Oak Brook from a medical school in Ireland.
Christina Angarola, spokesperson for Durbin, declined to discuss specifics, but said the senator is actively communicating with the State Department about Aiham's safety.
"We are in frequent contact with the Department of the State to check up on this," Angarola said.
Wonder what notes Angarola kept of those frequent contacts?
Dave in NYC,
ReplyDeleteIt appears to be...
"In 2003, Auchi was convicted of fraud, and given a 15 month suspended sentence for taking illegal payments from French oil company Elf Aquitaine.[2]. Following the verdict, Elf (by now merged with TotalFina and re-named Total) decided to take legal action against Auchi in France; Auchi responded by suing Total for £200m in turn, this time in the UK.[3]"
And your point?
Let's get real though. If/when anything negative is written about this guy in the MSM, he'll be identified solely as a "Bush crony".

NA may have been a charitably generous man, but he is also a billionaire who could well afford to conduct covert acts of evil.. same goes for Soros & a few others..
they are commonly called wolves in sheep's clothing, or as in Obama's case, an empty suit with puppeteers strings attached..

Rezko, Auchi and Obama
excerpt:
[A company related to Mr Auchi, who has a conviction for corruption in France, loaned Tony Rezko $3.5 million on on May 23 2005 through the Panamanian company Fintrade Services SA. Three weeks later Rezko and Obama simultaneously bought the properties.]

Hey Gateway, remember that certain pic with Obama and Rezko smiling at each other while folks in the background are smiling, clapping and focusing all their attention on the two?

This man donated 2,300 to Obama.
So, what is Obama's plan? To vet the vetters? Or hire a Winnie the Pooh fan?
