Tony Rezko - is an
American political fundraiser,
restaurateur, and
real estate developer in

Rev Wright -
Barack Obama, the
Democratic nominee
for President, first met Wright in the late 1980's, while he was
working as a
community organizer in
Chicago before attending
Harvard Law School.
[25]

Michelle Obama, as well as their children's
baptism.

The Audacity of Hope
, was inspired by one of Wright's sermons.^

ACORN - filed a lawsuit in
California seeking to exempt itself from the
state's
minimum wage of $4.25 per hour in 1995.
ACORN alleged in its complaint that minimum wage laws "were
unconstitutional as applied to it, because they restricted its
ability to engage in political advocacy by forcing it to hire fewer
workers, and that its workers, if paid the minimum wage, would be
less empathetic with its low- and moderate-income constituency and
would therefore be less effective advocates." The court denied
ACORN's petition; the denial was sustained on appeal.^

Louis Farrakhan-^^Farrakhan said the war in Iraq, the
nation's faltering economy and the increased number of natural
disasters were signs of "a nation in peril." He said those
problems provide the broader context for Obama's rise."So I
said to the members of the press, 'Why won't you go and look into
what we are saying about the threats on Obama's life?' Here the
Jews don't like Farrakhan and so they call me 'Hitler'. Well that's
a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He wasn't great for me as
a Black man but he was a great German and he rose
Germany up from the ashes of her defeat by the
united force of all of Europe and America after the
First World War. Yet Hitler took
Germany from the ashes and rose her up and made her the greatest
fighting machine of the twentieth century, brothers and sisters,
and even though Europe and America had deciphered the code that
Hitler was using to speak to his chiefs of staff, they still had
trouble defeating Hitler even after knowing his plans in advance.
Now I'm not proud of Hitler's evil toward
Jewish people, but that's a matter of
record. He rose Germany up from nothing. Well, in a sense you could
say there is a similarity in that we are rising our people up from
nothing, but don't compare me with your wicked killers."^
James Meeks: One of the top 10 leading black religious
voices in the anti-gay movement". The newsletter cites him as both
"a key member of Chicago's 'Gatekeepers' network, an interracial
group of evangelical ministers who strive to erase the division
between church and state" and "a stalwart anti-gay activist...
[who]... has used his House of Hope mega-church to launch petition
drives for the Illinois Family Institute (IFI), a major state-level
'family values' pressure group that lauded him last year for
leading African Americans in 'clearly understanding the threat of
gay marriage.'"
*William Ayers-*We all know about him...
Raila Odinga- Obama's partisan support for Odinga was
considered so transparent, that the Kenyan Government spokesman,
Alfred Matua, complained of political posturing to aid Odinga's
election chances: "It is very clear that the senator has been used
as a puppet to perpetuate opposition politics,"Raila Odinga
subsequently lost the controversial presidential election. Odinga's
supporters went on a rampage-burning Kikuyu homes and businesses,
("
Ethnic Cleansing in
Luoland" The Economist 2/7/2008) raping Kikuyu women, and
murdering everyone in their path-including at least 50 Christian
Kikuyu woman & children who had sought refuge in a church. They
burned them alive. ("

Rashid Khalidi - Khalidi has ties to the
Palestinian Liberation
Organization, based on his work for
Wafa
in the late 1980's, and later serving as an advisor to the
Palestinian delegation during the
Madrid Conference of 1991.^

2003 farewell dinner on the occasion of Khalidi leaving the Chicago
Area.

Quadaffi - Although Gaddafi holds no public office or title,
he is accorded the honorifics "Guide of the First of September
Great Revolution of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab
Jamahiriya" or "Brotherly Leader and Guide
of the Revolution" in government statements and the official
press.
[1]
Qaddafi throws his
support to
Obama. While not directly endorsing
Obama,
Qaddafi made it crystal clear that he is for "change" even
to the point where the
economy in the United States should "change" to
be like Libya's. If you think our economy is bad, go to google and
type - Libya, economy. What you will find is an economy so bad that
it would be an insult to other 3rd world countries to call it 3rd
world.
Nadhmi Auchi-
The
Times reports that the "British-Iraqi billionaire lent millions
of dollars to Barack Obama's fundraiser just weeks before an
imprudent land deal with Tony Rezko that has returned to haunt the
presidential contender."Auchi was a member of the
Baath Party in Iraq before
Saddam Hussein came to power.
[3]^
He was charged in the 1950s with being an accomplice of Saddam
Hussein, when the future tyrant was acquiring his taste for blood.

the fabulously corrupt leaders of post-war Italy. ^
