This sounds like some of the stuff Bev, Lynn, Lynda, and others have been 
discussing.  It was on a site I read this morning.  I have "no idea' of the 
veracity of any of this stuff, and even if all is true, that it is 
particularly relevant. ....bobford

To All My Friends, This election has me very worried.  So many things to 
consider.  About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my 
mind three times since then.  I watch all the news channels, jumping from one 
to another.  I must say this drives my husband crazy.  But, I feel if you 
view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. 
 About six months ago, I started thinking 'where did the money come from for 
Obama'.  I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, 
and money was tight.  We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots 
of student loans.



I started looking into Obama's life. Where does the money come from?  



Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California .  He is very 
open about his two years at Occidental, he tri ed all kinds of drugs and was 
wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply 
himself to his studies. 'Barry' (that was the name he used all his life) 
during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, 
both from Pakistan .  During the summer of 1981, after his second year in 
college, he made a 'round the world' trip.  Stopping to see his mother in 
Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where 
he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his 
father's family.  My question - Where did he get the money for this trip?  
Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like 
this when they where in college.  When he came back he started school at 
Columbia University in New York .  It is at this time he  wants everyone to
 call him Barack - not Barry.  Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ?  
It's not cheap to say the least!   Where did he get money for tuition?  
Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a 
Community Organizer for $12,000 a year.  Why Chicago ?  Why not New York ? He 
was already living in New York . 



By 'chance'  he met  Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real 
estate developer in Chicago .  Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery 
this year.  Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the 
Arab-American Business and Professional Association'.  About two years later, 
Obama entered Harvard Law School .  Do you have any idea what tuition is for 
Harvard Law School ?  Where did he get the money for Law School ?  More 
student loans?  After Law school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko offered him 
a job, which he turned down.  But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, 
Barnhill & Galland. Guess what?  They represented 'Rezar' which is Rezko's 
firm.  Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he 
ran for office in Chicago .  In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for 
Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental 
in providing Obama with 'seed money'  for his U.S. Senate race. In
 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 
million (less than asking price).  With ALL 20 those Student Loans - Where 
did he get the money for the property?  On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, 
purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported 
that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three 
weeks before Obama's new home was purchased.  Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many 
times with Rezko.



Now, we have Obama running for President.  Valerie Jarrett, was Michele 
Obama's boss.  She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any 
major decisions without talking to her first.  Where was Jarrett born? Ready 
for this? Shiraz , Iran !  Do we see a pattern here?  Or am I going crazy?



On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley, advisor to Obama, was 
'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 
'Hamas', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran .  This past week, 
buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during 
Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war 
until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'.  



Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in 
Pakistan ?  They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign 
contributions for Obama.  Where is that money coming from?  The poor and 
middle class in this country?  Or could it be from the Middle East ?  



And the final bit of news.  On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted 
a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos.  Obama 
on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'.  When questioned, 'he 
made a mistake'.  Some mistake!



All of the above information I got on-line.  If you would like to check it - 
Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily 
Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 
2008; The Times May 10, 2008.

Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why 
haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this?
