How Obama Got Into Harvard
cashill.com ^ | 5/27/2010 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 05/28/2010 5:04:22 AM PDT by Sioux-san

Two years ago I inadvertently began my exploration of the authorship of Barack Obama’s 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father, with an inquiry into how Obama got into Harvard Law School in 1988.

In the summer of 2008, I was tipped to a story that the media were scrupulously ignoring. It involved the venerable African American entrepreneur and politico, Percy Sutton.

A Manhattan borough president for 12 years and a credible candidate for mayor of New York City in 1977, Sutton had appeared in late March 2008 on a local New York City show called " Inside City Hall."

When asked about Obama by the show’s host, Dominic Carter, the octogenarian Sutton calmly and lucidly explained that he had been “introduced to [Obama] by a friend.”

The friend's name was Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, and the introduction had taken place about 20 years prior. Sutton described al-Mansour as "the principal adviser to one of the world's richest men." The billionaire in question was Saudi prince Al-Waleed bin Talal.

According to Sutton, al-Mansour had asked him to "please write a letter in support of [Obama] ... a young man that has applied to Harvard." Sutton had friends at Harvard and gladly did so.

Three months before the election it should have mattered that a respected black political figure had publicly announced that a crazed anti-Semite like al-Mansour, backed by an equally bonkers Saudi billionaire, had been guiding Obama’s career perhaps for the last twenty years, but the story died a quick and unnatural death.

The books that might have shed some light on this incident have not done so. John Heilemann and Mark Halperin’s comprehensive look at the 2008 campaign, Game Change, does not so much as mention Percy Sutton.

Obama got into Harvard because....”a respected black political figure had publicly announced that a crazed anti-Semite like al-Mansour, backed by an equally bonkers Saudi billionaire, had been guiding Obama’s career perhaps for the last twenty years,...”

...this should be the lead paragraph...it answers the question...then elaborate on it...too many articles these days are too wordy...writers need to get to the point...no American writer could write a simple declarative sentence like Ernest Hemingway...and he started off as a newspaper man.

From the website: “NATIONAL Black Power Convention and Black Power Convention Schedule of Events”

Can you imagine having a national white power convention? This is wrong on so many levels..

So Obama had a Saudi “sugar daddy” ....that explains the DEEP bow to the Saudis. I thought Obama was going to fall.

I am with you all the way!

Social security fraud?

Credit identity theft?

Student loans under false applications?

Lousy grades?

Had Obama’s father come from Kentucky not Kenya and been named O’Hara not Obama, there would been no Harvard Law Review, no Harvard, no Columbia.

Spot on.

Obama's admission to Ivy League schools was not about grades or test scores. Even how he paid for attending these schools is suspect. Clearly Obama had help from powerful and wealthy benefactors who were grooming this obscure, academically lackluster, mixed race kid from Hawaii for bigger things.

The question is how Obama got these kind of connections? His mother was a hanger on in radical left and Marxist circles, but unlikely had those kind of connections. Obama senior also had associations with leftist and Marxist groups, but was either not in the USA or deceased when Obama Jr. would have needed them for admission to the Ivy League. Obama's second step father, Sotero, was Indonesian and likely had no connections in the US.

Perhaps Obama's connections are through a real birth father. The suppression of Obama's birth certificate might have nothing to do with his place of birth, but who was named as his father.

Like the article states..."Jimmy Hoffa's body will be unearthed" before that happens!

I like how Jack exposed michelle as another affirmative action kid in over her head and that might explain the inferiority complex she always exposes to us in her hate filled speech.

Or even an illegal alien power convention.... oh, never mind.

I can almost hear the In Search Of theme music and Leonard Nimoy voiceover announcing that after the DB Cooper episode it will BO.
