Obama’s Questionable Associates

 

Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character."

1 Corinthians 15:33 (from New International Version)

 

Frank Marshall Davis – Communist Party member, just called “Frank” in Obama’s book Dreams From My Father -   Obama had a close relationship with Davis, listening to his "poetry" and getting advice on his career path.

Saul Alinsky – Obama’s early idol/mentor – He was a Marxist whose Rules for Radicals is the guide for community organizing groups like ACORN.  ACORN supports Obama and is under investigation in numerous states for voter fraud allegations.


Jeremiah Wright - Obama's pastor for 20 years.  He cursed America and blamed it for the 9/11 attacks.  He came out of the Nation of Islam, and praised Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam's leader, as one of the "giants of the African American religious experience."

Louis Farrakhan – Leader of the Nation of Islam – Called Obama”the Messiah,” and "the hope of the entire world."

Carl Davidson – Obama associate and former Chicago New Party activist – Obama became a member of the New Party, a group with socialist goals.  They boasted that Obama, a New Party member had won the primary election for Illinois State Senator.  The paper quoted Obama saying "these victories prove that small 'd' democracy can work."

William Ayers - Self-confessed Weather Underground terrorist who bombed the Pentagon and other government targets in the ‘70’s - He was never convicted because of a legal technicality.  In 2001 he told the New York Times, “I don’t regret setting bombs.” In fact he added that he and the others “didn’t do enough.” Ayres' 1974 book called Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism was dedicated to "all political prisoners in the U.S.," including Sirhan Sirhan, who had assassinated Robert Kennedy! In the mid ‘90’s Obama worked with Bill Ayers on the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.  Obama had his political coming out party at Ayres home in 1995.  Recent analysis has shown that Ayres shaped and revised Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father.”


Bernadine Dohrn - Weather Underground - US Terrorist – Bill Ayres’ wife.


Rashid Khalidi - Obama’s "friend and frequent dinner companion" - from 1976 to1982 was reportedly a director of the official Palestinian press agency, WAFA, which was operating in exile from Beirut with the PLO.  He denies this activity, but he was the cofounder of the Arab American Action Network. In 2002 Obama and Ayers voted to donate $75,000 of the money they controlled in the Community Action Group to this organization.


Antoin "Tony" Rezko - Syrian immigrant and Chicago slumlord  - Obama's long-time donor and ally.  He partnered for nearly three decades with Jabir Herbert Muhammad, a son of Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad, and says he gave Jabir and his family "millions of dollars over the years."  Rezko was a business partner of former Iraqi official Nadhmi Auchi, who smuggled weapons to Saddam Hussein’s regime.  Auchi wired $3.5 million to Rezko just three weeks before Rezko helped Obama buy his mansion in Chicago.


Raila Odinga (Barak’s cousin) - Radical Islamist in Kenya – Obama campaigned in Kenya for his presidential bid.  Odinga lost, sparking a deadly protest that killed more than 1000 Kenyans, mostly Christians, and resulted in the appointment of Odinga as Prime Minister.


James Johnson  - Former Fannie Mae executive and a close adviser to the Obama campaign.  He even served on a three-person committee to help select Obama’s vice-presidential nominee.


Various sources, all listed below, have also questioned the wisdom of association with the following people:


Al Mansour - Muslim financier who aided Barack financially while at Harvard /aka: Donald Warden


Father Michael Pfleger – Radical Catholic priest who agrees with Rev. Wright and supports Obama


Muhammad Hasa Chandoo  - Barak’s college roommate #1 from Pakistan


Wahid Hamid - Barak’s college roommate #2 from Pakistan


Robert Malley - Former campaign staff w/ties to Hamas


Khalid al-MansourRaised  money for" Obama's expenses at Harvard Law School. – He became adviser to Saudi prince Al-Walid bin Talal, CAIR's largest individual donor.

Kenny Gamble (also known as Luqman Abdul-Haqq) – Cut the ribbon to the Obama campaign headquarters in South Philadelphia.  He large blocks of real estate in Philadelphia to create a Muslim-only residential area.  He calls himself the "amir" of the United Muslim Movement

Mazen Asbahi - The Obama campaign's first Muslim outreach coordinator - Served on the board of a subsidiary of the Saudi-sponsored North American Islamic Trust.

Minha Husaini - Obama campaign's second Muslim outreach coordinator - Served as an intern in the Muslim Public Service Network
