Obama's Sordid Pals Pt.3-Tony Rezko and Jerimiah Wright

Another sordid pal associated with Obama is a Syrian born real estate mogul by the name of Antonin (Tony) Rezko. Rezko is now serving time in federal prison on a 15 count indictment of real estate fraud.

After Law school, Obama went back to Chicago where he met Tony Rezko. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with the law firm of 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 Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (approximately $300,000 less than asking price), on the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. Some say this was a bribe by Rezko. With all those Student Loans he supposedly had at the time, where did he (Obama) get the money for the property?
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. Coincidentally, Obama had met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko; another coincidence?


For the last 20 years Obama attended the Trinrtity United Church in Chicago which is an Afro Centric church hosted by Rev. Jerimiah Wright. It was Wright who married Barack and Michelle Obama and baptized their children.Wright came into prominence during the campaign for his "God Damn America "statements and his "America KKK" statements. Wright has an interesting profile on wikepedia which is non controversial, but a man who makes such statements in church is obvioulsy very radical and must have been making similiar statements over the years. Obama was quick to distance himself from Wright saying "That's not the Jerimiah Wright I knew." Just like he said "That's not the William Ayers I knew" and "That's not the Tony Rezko I knew." With so many radical people associated for many years with Barack Obama it's hard to imagine him not being influenced buy these people as they waltz in and out of his life. Yet after his election some leading members of the mainstream media said "We really don't know anything about him." Well DUHHHHHHH. I guess they were so busy bashing Bush they didn't notice the half black muslim they were having orgasms over.
