Received this from a friend:

About six months ago, I started thinking 'where did the money come
from for Obama'. I have four daughters who went to College, and we
were middle class, and money was tight.  We (including my girls)
worked hard and there were lots of student loans.

I started looking into Obama's life. 

Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is
very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs
and  was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did
not apply himself to his studies. 'Barry' (that was the name he used all
his life) during  this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan
Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from  Pakistan.

During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made
a  'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next
Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed
with his  roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit  his father's family.

My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any
one of my children, would have had money for a trip like this when they
were in college.

When he came back, he started school at Columbia University in New
York.  It is at this time he wants everyone to c all him Barack  - not Barry.

Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia? It's not cheap to say the
least!  Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. 

After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community
Organizer  for $12,000 a year.  Why Chicago?  Why not New York?
He  was already living in New  York.

By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and  a
real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud
and bribery this year.  Rezko was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade'
by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'.

About two  years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you
have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School?  Where did he
get the money for Law  School?  More student loans 

After Law school, he went back to Chicago.  Rezko offered him a jo b,
which he turned down.  But, he did take a job with 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 Kenwoood District of
Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price).
With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the
property?

On the same day, Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty
lot for full price. 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. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many 
times with Rezko.

Now, we have Obama running for President.  Valerie Jarrett was
Michele Obama's boss.  She now is Obama's chief advisor and he 
does not make any major decisions without talking to her first.
Where was Jarrett born?

Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran!

Do we see a pattern here?   Or am I going crazy?

On May 10, 2008 The Times reported Robert  Malley, advisor to Obama,
was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts
with 'Hamas',  which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran.  This
past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers
reported that during Obama's visit  to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do
nothing about  the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of
things'. 

Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born
in Pakistan?  They are in cha rge of all those 'small' Internet campaign
contributions for Obama.  Where is that money coming from?  The poor
and middle class in this country?  Or could it be from the Middle East?

I don't know about you, but I know a lot of people, many who support
Obama.  I don't know of ONE who has made a donation to his campaign
through the internet.  NOT ONE!   Seems odd to me.

And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The  Washington
Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George
Stephanapoulos.  Obama, on talking about his religion, said, 'My Muslim
faith'.   When questioned, 'he made a mistake'.  Some mistake!

All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it --
Wikipedia,  encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett:
Daily  Times -- Obama  visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington
Times - S eptember 7, 2008; The Times  May 10, 2008.

Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own,
why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting
this?

A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of  the enemy from
within'!
