Im just learning about this guy.
He will be prominent in the upcoming Rezco trial.
He donated to Obamas campaign.
He gave Rezco $3.5 million the week Obama bought his house.
Hes a supporter of Saddam Hussein's Iraq regime.
WTF?

5. What a LIE! We have to tell the whole world that this is a LIE!

I intend to e-mail everyone I have ever gotten spam mail from -- that the dirty Hillaryoids are saying that Barack Obama has been taking money from a man who supported Saddam Hussein's regime!

Barack Obama has NOT been taking money from a man who supported Saddam Hussein's regime!

NO MONEY from Saddam Hussein's regime!

Not even once!

--p!
Maybe.

6. Obama did nothing illegal

Obama is not part of Rezko's case, and is not suspected to have committed any crimes. He has not done favors to Rezko and never met this Auchi guy. He is 100% clean. This smear is reminiscent of the Whitewater scandal during the 90's, perpetrated against Bill Clinton

8. the clinton supporters are smearing obama

like those who tried to smear bill over whitewater? no they would`t do that

9. Don't tell me....

This Auchi guy. Did Obama buy some property from him? Or is the guy a gay basher?

The suspense is killing me....

12. No there is not story.

This would like digging up some shady friend of Norman Hsu who has no connection to Hillary Clinton and implying that Hillary 'must have' been involved with the shady friend.

It's telling that ll the people who claim to be 'just finding out about this guy!' all seem to be too incompetent to use Google and so on. It's always the same 'zOMG! This could hurt Obama bad!!11!' without any facts or detail, just scaremongering. Pathetic BS from pathetic people.
