Obama bomb dropped

When Tony Rezko held a reception at his home for Iraqi-born billionaire Nadhmi Auchi on April 3, 2004, White House hopeful Barack Obama and his wife were also there, Stuart Levine testified just now at Rezko's trial.

Auchi is the man who provided Rezko a $3.5 million loan that Rezko did not disclose to the court -- resulting in his January arrest.
"Mr. and Mrs. Obama were there, were they not?" Rezko lawyer Joseph Duffy asked.
"Yes, sir," Levine said.
Obama and his aides have said Obama has no recollection of ever meeting Auchi.
Rezko invited Levine to the reception after the two met up with each other during a family vacation in Puerto Vallarta. Rezko had to leave early to arrange for the reception, Levine testified. So Levine offered to rent a larger jet and fly Rezko's wife and children back to Chicago. That night, they all attended the reception.

The reception was aimed at getting Auchi interested in investing in Illinois, Levine said.

[SunnyInCal]

Okay, I'll play dumb.

What is the significance of this? Is the Auchi guy a terrorist?

[Tea toaD]

Obama and his aides have said Obama has no recollection of ever meeting Auchi.

Auchi had connections to Baghdad pre-invasion.

[underpaidnurse]

putting the dots together? After he gets the nomination and they start routing for McCain? I'm so sick of all of this. It's like beating my head slowly against a wall. Well, back to watching soap operas when I'm at home. Made a few more phone calls today, and the ones I got in NC weren't all that happy with Barak...something hopeful, perhaps.

[joeysky18]

Obama need to check his stars. He doesn't have a good week. :D

I'm sending the story to media.

[WV4Hillary]

I have no idea what the significance is...but even bringing Obama's name up in court makes him look bad! EMAIL ALL THE MEDIA!

Read this link, to answer your question -

http://worlddefensereview.com/esman040908.shtml

10 – And then there is the Nadhmi Auchi question. Auchi, a British-Iraqi billionaire and a known collaborator in the Saddam ******* oil-for-food project with proven ties to the regime, is a longtime business partner of Rezko, with whom he owns a chain of pizza parlors under the corporate umbrella of ARPizza. Auchi also loaned Rezko several million dollars only three weeks before Rezko then provided (via his wife) the funds which made Obama's real estate purchase possible – funds that, without Auchi's loan, he would not have had available. (Specifically, Auchi loaned $3.5 million to Rezko on April 28, 2005. On May 23, Mr. Auchi's company, Fintrade, registered the loan. On June 15, Rita Rezko joined the Obamas in the purchase of the Georgian mansion property.) [The Times' timeline]

Now, maybe it's just me, but if someone offered to help my buy a house I wanted, and I learned that this person was partners in business with, and had recently received millions of dollars from, a man who had been friendly with Saddam *******, was an integral part of the oil-for-food program and, moreover, had been convicted for his participation in the Elf Affair, which the London Times calls "the largest corporate and political scandal in post-war Europe," personally, I'd say "no, thanks."


Good reason and many others coming up I am quite sure for Hillary to stay the course and for some others like Carter and his friends to shut up.

[SadStateOfAffairs]

Okay, I'll play dumb.

What is the significance of this? Is the Auchi guy a terrorist?

Auchi is imprisioned in France for recieving, aiding and abating kickbacks in the Iraqi "Oil for Food" program which also stained the French PM's reputation. This corruption took money that was supposed to help feed the poor people of Iraq and put it into the pockets of these crooks.

Auchi is a personal friend of Rezko and loaned Rezko 3.5 million when his legal troubles rendered him bankrupt. Part of this 3.5 million was used to help Obama fund the 1.6 mil house he could not afford via Rezko's wife, who bought the empty lot next door and then turned around and "sold" ten feet of the lot back to Obama. (This real estate deal reeks of corruption). The press has dubbed the Rezko trail "A Cesspool of Corruption" and Obama has been a dear friend of Rezko's for over 17 years.

Just a couple of creepy friends of Obama's among many others. Auchi truly does steal from the poor to give to the rich.

[thebword]

Sen. Obama lied about his relationship with Rezko. First he hardy knew him and only contact was about 5 hours work. Then his admitted "bonehead" mistake. Buying his house without land/yard for under fair market value, while Rezko's wife purchase the land/yard for above fair market value on the same day. Now Sen. Obama and his wife socializes with Rezko, attending a party thrown at his mansion for a millionaire Iraqi.

Wonder how all those billionaire row supporters in San Fran would feel if they knew all this about their dimocratic nominee? Do they even care?

[WV4Hillary]

Send This To The Media! It Has To Come Out!

[mkreyns]

Rezko and Obama had a deal to build a nuclear power plant together in Iraq. They were long time friends and I have seen an article on Obama and his wife with his friends at a Nation of Islam (NOI) dinner. The connections are more complicated and much of the dirty money has been laundered came through Iraq oil money and other sources.

Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama's name came up again at the Antoin "Tony" Rezko corruption trial today in Chicago and in a way that earlier filings in the case did not telegraph.


Stuart Levine, the prosecution's star witness, said he and Obama were at a party Rezko threw at his Wilmette mansion on April 3, 2004, for Nadhmi Auchi, a controversial Iraqi-born billionaire who Rezko was trying to get to invest in a South Loop real-estate development.

Auchi, now a citizen of the United Kingdom, has faced criminal charges in Europe. He also figured in the revocation of Rezko's bond early this year after attempting to wire him more than $3 million. Upon learning of that attempt, U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve declared Rezko a flight risk and ordered him held in a federal jail in the Loop.

The Rezko party in 2004 was designed to induce Auchi to pour money into the South Loop investment. Obama's presence at the party was not previously known. At the time, Obama was fresh off a surprise win in the Illinois Democratic primary for U.S. Senate and was riding a crest of national publicity.

Levine pressed over take on deals

April 14, 2008; 3:56 p.m.
Duffy is trying to throw as much doubt as he can on Levine's story that at a 2004 meeting at the Standard Club, he and Rezko agreed to split up to $7.8 million from corrupt deals involving the state pension board on which Levine then sat.

Levine has testified that Rezko was to pocket half, or $3.9 million, and Levine and business associate Robert Weinstein would share the other $3.9 million.

But Duffy pointed to a taped conversation between Levine and Weinstein from April 17, 2004, in which the two discuss the money. Levine can be heard telling Weinstein that the take is $3.9 million "on your end," Duffy said.

"You say your end," Duffy repeated. The meaning was clear "if we understand the English language," Duffy said.

Levine grew testy again.

"That is a complete misrepresentation of the conversation between Mr. Weinstein and myself," Levine said.

If Weinstein and Levine were each to get $3.9 million, that would account for the entire $7.8 million, Duffy said, conveying that Rezko would be left out of the arrangement.


Levine's motivation for '04 meeting scrutinized

April 14, 2008; 3:37 p.m.
Antoin "Tony" Rezko's attorney is trying to raise doubt about the motivation for star witness Stuart Levine's meeting in April 2004 with Rezko at the Standard Club in downtown Chicago.

Levine testified earlier in the trial that he met with Rezko to discuss corrupt dealings at the Teachers' Retirement System, bringing along a chart to show how much the two could make by having investment firms pay bogus finder's fees on pension investments.

But attorney Joseph Duffy pointed out Monday afternoon that Levine was a consultant for CompDent, which was in the midst of losing a large contract to provide dental insurance for the State of Illinois.

Levine agreed that the loss of the CompDent contract could have cost him up to $2.2 million.

Levine denied discussing CompDent at the April 14, 2004, meeting at the Standard Club, but he acknowledged talking to Rezko about CompDent at one point and seeking his assistance.

That set off an exchange between Duffy and Levine in which both raised their voices. Duffy noted that the CompDent contract was never renewed by the state.

Didn't Levine tell the jury "over and over" how important Rezko was in state government?

"Yes, sir, I did," Levine answered loudly.

And didn't Levine say repeatedly that Rezko could get any contract he wanted to get? "Yes, sir," Levine said again. Even though it was his only earned income at the time, Levine said he was not concerned about losing the CompDent pay.

Duffy then asked Levine to recall his questioning about the Standard Club meeting, a central point in Levine's version of events.

Levine had begun cooperating on Jan. 20, 2006, but did not tell the government about the Standard Club at the first interview, Duffy pointed out. Levine next met with investigators four days later.

"On that date, did you tell the government about this very important Standard Club dinner?" Duffy asked.

Levine said he could not recall, prompting Duffy to ask Levine whether he was aware that in fact it wasn't until his 10th meeting with the government that he mentioned the dinner.

"It may be so. It may not be so," Levine answered.

Duffy's questioning then took on a more mocking tone, as Duffy pressed Levine on whether he had been "anxious" to provide information on Rezko to help himself.

"I was anxious to do what I was asked by the government and tell the truth," Levine said.

But maybe that wasn't quite accurate, Duffy said, because Levine has already told the jury he lied to the government at first in a bid to protect former Chicago Ald. Edward Vrdoylak. The two were allegedly involved in a separate kickback scheme over a real estate deal, prosecutors have said.

"So you can't sit there and tell this jury now that all you did was go in and tell the truth?" Duffy asked.

"Uh, no," Levine answered.

Obama appeared at 2004 party at Rezko's home

April 14, 2008; 12:57 p.m.
Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama's name came up again at the Antoin "Tony" Rezko corruption trial and in a way that earlier filings in the case did not telegraph.

Stuart Levine, the prosecution's star witness, said he and Obama were at a party Rezko threw at his Wilmette mansion on April 3, 2004, for Nadhmi Auchi, a controversial Iraqi-born billionaire who Rezko was trying to get to invest in a South Loop real-estate development.

Grand jury testimony differs from trial testimony

April 14, 2008; 11:12 a.m.
It's another day, another week, but the same old Stuart Levine is displaying a pretty shaky memory as he continues his testimony in the corruption trial of Antoin "Tony" Rezko.

On his seventh day cross-examining Levine, Rezko's lawyer, Joseph Duffy, trotted out a glaring inconsistency between Rezko's grand jury testimony in 2006 and what he testified to Monday in recalling an allegedly critical meeting with Rezko in 2003.

That meeting took place on July 23 of that year in Rezko's North Side office. Levine said he went there with a lawyer associate to brief Rezko on the workings of a teachers pension fund on which Levine served as a board member. That board is one of two panels that Levine claims he and Rezko rigged in exchange for kickbacks.

Levine said he, the lawyer, Rezko and a Rezko associate met in a conference room for a few minutes until Rezko left. Levine said he then left a few minutes later, met up with Rezko in his private office, and the two allegedly discussed how they could make money off actions of the pension board.

Levine has testified that Rezko told him at that point that they would be partners in manipulating the Teachers' Retirement System.

But Duffy showed Levine a transcript of his testimony before the grand jury in 2006 that indicted Rezko. (By the way, Levine could not remember when he gave that testimony.) And Duffy said that in Levine's earlier testimony, he made no reference to leaving the conference room and having a private meeting with Rezko in which they discussed manipulating TRS.

Levine's fuzziness and hairsplitting did lead to one moment of, perhaps, unintentional clarity under questioning from Duffy as he asked about Levine's attempts to ingratiate himself with Rezko. Levine gave money to Rezko's favorite charity, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, and began raising money for Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Rezko's close friend.

"You would agree with me that political fundraising is different from engaging in corrupt transactions?" Duffy asked Levine.

"It can be," Levine responded.

Obama's meeting someone may be a bit tangential.

But the Rezko connection is relevant. Do we have quotes from Obama where he said he didn't know Rezko or barely knew him or hadn't done any business with him etc.

Fox just stated the article on their news. Nothing more was said about it.

[Patsy]

[trading wine for beer]

Fox just talked about it, but failed to say that the party was for Auchi. They just said "a top official said Obama was at a party at Rezko's house...". That story had no teeth. :rolleyes: I can see it now... people will be like "ooooh, Obama went to a party at Rezko's house... big deal..."

p.s.... I'm not surprised, however. Why would they want the story to break big at this point?? They want to run in the general against him, so I'm sure it's being stock piled with anything else they have to take him down in November if he gets the nomination.

This is getting to be a boring habit. How can anyone ever trust this man's memory of who he's met or had dealings with? Lie upon lie stacks up and yet, he's still standing in this race. Disgraceful. And yet, all this is known, it's out there... there are none so blind as those who will not see!

[LetsHelpAmerica]

Obama has so much baggage going into the democratic convention.......
I am more and more optimistic that superdelegates will use their smarts
and vote for Hillary!!

[Bless]

[connects the dots]

More like connect the idiots

[thebword]

:(I missed the FOX coverage was it detailed? I had saved it but can't find it now, does someone have the transcript of the initial indictment and disclosure of assets of Rezko? In that transcript Rezko states that his next business adventure (he already owned the land) was to build a nuclear power plant in Iraq with the expressed purpose of selling it to the Iraqi government. Makes you wonder if that was the reason Sen. Obama has been for the War before he even had any say about it, and didn't have to make his famous "judgement" speech so long ago.

[Amy Dugan]

Several Of Us Should Send It To Lou Dobbs

[thebword]

:o sorry, of course I meant to question the reason for Sen. Obama's stance AGAINST the War from the beginning. At the time no one cared what some Jr. Legisaltor in Illinois State thought of the issue. It's not as if he was a mover and shaker in Washington. Speaking out on the War by him had not impact and would change anything. Unless he had another reason to stick his neck out (it could have worked the other way if the War was successful), maybe his friend and campaign donor Rezko was buying land in Iraq to make his next million and Obama wanted to help him.

[teachgrd3]

Obama's meeting someone may be a bit tangential.

But the Rezko connection is relevant. Do we have quotes from Obama where he said he didn't know Rezko or barely knew him or hadn't done any business with him etc.

Sunny, in the first debate after John Edwards dropped out of the race, where it was just Obama and Hillary, Hillary nailed him with his relationship to "slum landlord, Tony Rezko." Obama replied that Rezko was a client of the law firm that Obama was with, and Obama did 5 hours of legal work for Rezko. "That's what she's talking about," he said. So, in the tapes or transcripts of that debate, Obama's denial of a personal relationship is there.

The fact is that they've been pals since Obama graduated from law school. Rezko has been a huge financial backer of Obama's political campaigns. Then there was the deal with Rezko and his wife that helped the Obamas buy their million dollar mansion. Obama is on the list of possible witnesses in Rezko's federal trial on fraud charges.

[mjno7777]

I haven't seen this on the news or major internet sites. We need to get it out there!!!!!

It will be interesting to see if the media will sit on this the same way they did with Wright's tapes!;)

Things are getting tight for Obama is would appear. On the State Senate papers Sudhakm mentioned, Judicial Watch issued a press release just a few days ago. Here is an except and link to that press release:

Illinois State Archives Letter Raises Questions about Obama’s Records Claim

Archives Claims it Never Has Been Asked to Maintain Records from Obama’s Days as Legislator

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch, the public interest group that forced the release of Hillary Clinton’s daily White House schedule on March 20, announced today that the preliminary results of an investigation into Senator Barack Obama’s record as an Illinois State Senator show that his statements about the maintenance of his files are suspect. Judicial Watch’s investigation included the filing of a Freedom of Information Act request with the Illinois State Archives to obtain his records and papers. Judicial Watch is seeking: “Any and all public documents…resulting from Illinois State Senator Barack Obama’s years in the office (1997-2004) that the ISA [has] in its possession.” Judicial Watch filed its open records request on February 7, 2008, after public statements made by Obama regarding his Illinois State Senate records.

During a campaign stop last fall, Obama at first claimed he did not have any records of his eight years in the Illinois state legislature. “I don't have — I don't maintain — a file of eight years of work in the state Senate because I didn't have the resources available to maintain those kinds of records.” Go here fore rest of Judicial Watch article.

And look a this article "Timeline: British billionaire and Barack Obama, Events bringing Nadhmi Auchi, British-Iraqi billionaire, together with Antoin Rezko, Barack Obama's fundraiser (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article3433363.ece)"

*******

Also, someone else in this thread mentioned the Rezko slumlord statement made by Hillary during the debate in SC. Here is a very good Chicago News5 report on the slums and Obama's role. It will certainly open your eyes!

YouTube - Obama and Rezko

[thebword]

His stated he hardly knew Rezko on more then one occasion. Of course like the Rev. Wright thing and the NFTA thing he starts out with an initial denial of everything. The "it's wasn't me" defense. Then when he thinks no one is paying attention (and they usually aren't) he starts slightly rewording it, and every couple of days the rewording gets a little closer to the truth. There are many instances of him explaining his relationship with Rezko. Starting with "Rezko who?" to his sit down interview with Chicago Times a month ago when he admitted Obama contacted Rezko about the "bonehead" land deal. The media bias allows lies by omission and boldface lies go checked daily.

PS. He is an elitist. His grandparents sent him to a private school in Hawaii that costs today $15,500 a year. His mom was a Phd. His step-father of over 10years worked for the Indonesian government, then was a manager of an Oil Company. He was living the American dream in Hawaii most of his life. And that is where his ELISIST ATTITUDE comes from.

[SadStateOfAffairs]

This is probably the worst for Obama. MSM has been burying this story for months. Barack stood there on national television during a debate and lied to the ENTIRE COUNTRY, claiming he barely knew Rezko. Why did he lie so ardently? Why did the media ignore this? WHY?

The ties Barack has to all these undesirables should have been discussed prior to him even becoming a senator. What bothers me even more is these democratic "heavyweights" who continue to back this guy. I've always felt that the Rezko tentacles reach far and wide in their corruption with Auchi and our US politicians. Could it be that Kennedy, Kerry, Richardson, et al are also tied up in this mess? Is Axelrod strongarming them? Could the corruption be so far flung as to bring down governments? How else can Obama's rise in politics be explained? How can the betrayal by these long time traditional democrates be explained? Especially... "Judas" Richardson. It's creepy. I feel like our democracy is being highjacked. Again. Only this time, I think it could be the final blow to our country. There is something very sinister going on here. I know I sound like an alarmist....but really, the bells, sirens, flashing lights and red flags are everywhere screaming "warning...warning", yet no one seems to want to get to the truth. The facts. The issues. Nor does anyone seem to care about Obama's seedy friends (anit americans, crooks, extremists and terrorists) and/or his strange and invisable past.

His negatives far outweigh any positives he may posses. I think we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg and Rezko's unsinkable luxury liner is about to take a hit on the starboard side.

You raise great questions. I became aware of the Rezko situation in January when a fellow John Edwards supporter shared information on the Edwards blog about the Rezko indictment and upcoming trial, with Obama on the witness list. It was a hot topic on that blog, especially in light of Obama's meteoric, and unbelievable, win in Iowa ahead of Edwards and Hillary. If ordinary everyday people on a candidate's website blog can learn about Tony Rezko, and the Obama connections, we would certainly expect our political leaders to have access to this information, and in fact, to much more. I have lots of concerns about this, and other situations with Obama.

Teachgrad3,

Wouldn't you just love to see a dual ticket with Clinton and Edwards? WOW!

[Suzan]

I have no idea what the significance is...but even bringing Obama's name up in court makes him look bad! EMAIL ALL THE MEDIA!
V4Hillary, you crack me up! You're right, though. At this point the media is more receptive than they've ever been, so this is the time to send whatever comes our way.

Wow, it all seems to be coming together, doesn't it? Critical mass or something. Like a massive bowel movement, all about to drop on you .. know ... who.

Our country would be golden..... in the hands of two brilliantly capable people, along with their super spouses!

IMHO, this is just the ticket this anxious country needs. Please post a link to the John Edwards website so that those of us who are so inclined, can let John and Elizibeth know our thoughts. :)

[WV4Hillary]

I'd love a Clinton/Edwards ticket. It's perfect.

Also, thanks Suzan, and it's 100% TRUE! lol

Same here!

Lou Dobbs reads my mails.
He has received info on Kenya, Auchi, etc.. from me in late March.

If you are sending to Lou, my suggestion is to send highly condensed material with very solid links that he can quickly and easily validate. Not just good sources, but good writers.

This is probably the worst for Obama. MSM has been burying this story for months. Barack stood there on national television during a debate and lied to the ENTIRE COUNTRY, claiming he barely knew Rezko. Why did he lie so ardently? Why did the media ignore this? WHY?

The ties Barack has to all these undesirables should have been discussed prior to him even becoming a senator. What bothers me even more is these democratic "heavyweights" who continue to back this guy. I've always felt that the Rezko tentacles reach far and wide in their corruption with Auchi and our US politicians. Could it be that Kennedy, Kerry, Richardson, et al are also tied up in this mess? Is Axelrod strongarming them? Could the corruption be so far flung as to bring down governments? How else can Obama's rise in politics be explained? How can the betrayal by these long time traditional democrates be explained? Especially... "Judas" Richardson. It's creepy. I feel like our democracy is being highjacked. Again. Only this time, I think it could be the final blow to our country. There is something very sinister going on here. I know I sound like an alarmist....but really, the bells, sirens, flashing lights and red flags are everywhere screaming "warning...warning", yet no one seems to want to get to the truth. The facts. The issues. Nor does anyone seem to care about Obama's seedy friends (anit americans, crooks, extremists and terrorists) and/or his strange and invisable past.

His negatives far outweigh any positives he may posses. I think we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg and Rezko's unsinkable luxury liner is about to take a hit on the starboard side.


Hannity brought up Ayers tonight in his show - showed him at his college teaching and asking for questions but did not take any questions from the reporter from Fox as soon as he said he was from Fox. :rolleyes: Seems he is still going on and on re the bombing he was a part of in Washington and New York...still wasn't enough.... they tried to get him to say something about BO but he didn't just laughed at them and walked away....

Hannity also had a writer - Anderson...I have to check his name...somebody else here may have seen the show or recorded it??? He has jsut written a book about the terrorist connections - re Achmi and Barak....yikes but then the questioning didn't last as skinny Comes (sic) kept going on and on trying to change the subject; and I think and it could be there is something big going on with the CIA and perhaps that is why it is being hushed up... Just a thought.
:eek: But now we are getting some delegates coming over to Hill could be there is a wind blowing the inside info out there.....hope it is in time. Even Dick had bad stuff to say about Obama and Michelle...of course the usual hate stuff towards Hillary.... What is wrong with that guy it wasn't Hillary who punched him out it was Bill.

Here's a couple of links regarding Farrakhan. It's interesting to note that the Clintons know exactly the links here, and have been activly combating this for decades. Ayres is just a sublink to the real issues. I'm not sure how old you are or if you remember the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. It was the beginning of terrorism as the USA understood it. It hit home.

And Finally....we're not out of danger.

He didn't remember that the big reception he went to at the big house was honoring Auchi. Said he didn't remember ever meeting the guy.

Gosh, if you have senior moments like that in your 40s, not sure you can be President.

Obama: People in Pennsylvania are not voting for you because they prefer Hillary. Get it? It's real simple. Nothin' complicated.

[msga7]

It is now on cnn, they are covering it, on the side. There is also a clinton blogger that commented as well,about the connection to *******'s regime.

I am listening to Chicago news on Direct TV 307 and they just broadcast the news of Levine's testimony about Obama being at the party with Auchi at Rezko's house. Will this hit the national media now?

Also, email from Andy Martin, holding a conference about this in NYC today at 4 p.m.

Is Obama's ship ready to sink finally?
