All Public Servants Can Afford a 1.65 mln Dollar Mansion

Don't Ask Don't tell: Obama may be involved in a real estate fraud or two with this guy Rezko or he ain't. He may be involved with another recognized crook or he ain't. He may be involved with crooks who are in bed with the Queen of England, or he ain't. But nobody in our wonderful media bothers to ask how the hell a life-long public servant can afford a $1.65 million dollar mansion.

Our MSM is spinning this particular tale as just a house purchase and anybody who dares say anything else is (or course) a racist. They do their best to make this real estate deal seem so complicated that only those of us in the genius class can hope to understand it, and besides Obama did nothing.

However, once again the Brits, in the form of Times of London, really does nail it down so us stupid failures can grasp it.

A British-Iraqi billionaire lent millions of dollars to Barack Obama's fundraiser just weeks before an imprudent land deal that has returned to haunt the presidential contender, an investigation by The Times discloses.

The money transfer raises the question of whether funds from Nadhmi Auchi, one of Britain’s wealthiest men, helped Mr Obama buy his mock Georgian mansion in Chicago.

A company related to Mr Auchi, who has a conviction for corruption in France, registered the loan to Mr Obama's bagman Antoin "Tony" Rezko on May 23 2005. Mr Auchi says the loan, through the Panamanian company Fintrade Services SA, was for $3.5 million. Three weeks later, Mr Obama bought a house on the city's South Side while Mr Rezko's wife bought the garden plot next door from the same seller on the same day, June 15.

Mr Obama says he never used Mrs Rezko's still-empty lot, which could only be accessed through his property. But he admits he paid his gardener to mow the lawn.

Mrs Rezko, whose husband was widely known to be under investigation at the time, went on to sell a 10-foot strip of her property to Mr Obama seven months later so he could enjoy a bigger garden.

This is understandable but our ever vigilant MSM is selling the story as "Obama Regrets buying a House." If this story keeps being told by people who can write and care about the truth Obama will have some serious trouble. But not to worry, our ever vigilant media will get us all to the Promised Land. The balance of The Times piece is here.
