UNDER THE BUS WITH THE OBAMA FAN CLUB

One thing is for certain: there’s not much room left under the bus. Over in one corner you’ll find Jeremiah Wright licking his wounds. He’s the guy who was “like a father” to Barack, remember? For twenty years, Barry and Michelle sat in one of the front pews and dutifully put their fingers in their ears whenever Jeremiah spoke. He ministered to their every need and was there to marry Barry and Michelle and to baptize their children. He was slated to be a most important part of the Obama campaign machine, but the nation cried out when he damned America in God’s name, and Jeremiah is now under the bus, a lonely, dusty and forgotten man who, most certainly, would not be welcomed in the Obama household under any circumstances.

Further under the bus, you’ll discover the man who proclaimed to the world that Barack Hussein Obama is the true Messiah, here to save the blacks and the downtrodden from their miseries. Louis Farrakhan, leader of the radical Nation of Islam, recently named winner of the Jeremiah Wright “Trumpet Award” because of his greatness, the guy who says that the holocaust was contrived by the Jews, lies under the bus in a disheveled heap. Not that the consummate leader of the American anti-Semitism movement has had his views refuted by has former pal Barry; far from it, Barry pointedly kept his silence on the issue until his political back was to the wall.

Not far from Farrakhan, there squats Tony Rezko. Obama was his attorney in some questionable land development schemes. Rezko supported Obama when he ran for the Illinois State Senate. In 2003, when Obama decided to run for the U.S. Senate, Rezko held a campaign kick-off and fundraising party at his mansion. A few months after Obama won his Senate seat, money moved from one Nadhmi Auchi to Rezko and both Rezko’s wife and Obama ended up buying adjoining land on the same day; Obama’s was his new house, Rezko’s was a “garden plot.” Later, as Rezko was under indictment, Obama purchased part of the “garden plot” to add to his own property, in a deal that is currently under banking investigation amid allegations that the land appraisal was “doctored.” Now, Rezko is “under the bus,” or should I say in jail, totally disassociated from Obama.

Rashid Khalidi, an avid pro-Palestinian supporter, got $75,000 from Obama and William “Bill” Ayers and the Woods Foundation. Later, Khalidi hosted a fundraiser for Obama, and still later, while the Obamas were frequent dinner guest with the Khalidi family, Obama gave him a totally warm send off as he was preparing to leave Chicago for New York. Khalidi even sponsored a page of Obama’s Presidential Campaign website. When pressed about his relationship with Khalidi, Obama denied the relationship and threw Khalidi under the bus with the rest of the boys. He also is no longer welcomed in the Obama household, even if he brings dessert.

Nadhmi Auchi is one of Britain’s wealthiest men with a longest list of shady associations and deals and who has extensive ties to Saddam Hussein, who he helped bring to power. Auchi is a convicted felon in France. Auchi yielded great power over Rezko. Auchi was the source of a very large sum of money which went to Rezko just before Rezko and Obama made their great land deal. One Joseph Aramanda Sr., an associate of Rezko, reportedly received a $375,000 kickback in the deal. As a side note of interest, the land and Obama’s house were purchased from a Chicago doctor for…. $375,000 less than the asking price. And there sits Nadhmi under the bus with the rest of the Obama Fan Club.

Obama denied ever knowing Joseph Aramanda Sr., who was a New England real estate developer who ended up in close association with Rezko. Nevertheless, Aramanda’s son, Joseph Jr., just happened to be clerking in Obama’s Chicago law office, personally hired by good old Barry. Senior is way, way under the bus, having died during the Rezko investigations.

Now comes the infamous Bill Ayers, husband of Bernadine Dohrn. Together, they were quite an item in the Weathermen Underground when they bombed the World Trade Center. Unrepentant Ayers has many times said he wished and still wishes he could have done more. Dohrn was employed at the Chicago Law Firm where Michelle L. Robinson was employed and where, as a matter of further coincidence, Barack Obama became employed. This nice and cozy relationship blossomed over the years with Bill Ayers serving on several committees and boards along with Rezko and/or Obama. Upon learning of Obama’s decision to enter politics, Ayers and Dohrn hosted a party at their house to kick off the political journey that has led Obama to the brink of the Presidency. Although he had previously admitted it and although that party is well documented in several major newspapers, Obama denied that the party ever occurred during the last televised McCain-Obama debate. So, there sits Big Bad Billy under the bus and, as you can see, there’s not much room remaining under that bus.

ACORN, ACORN, ACORN. Barry was their attorney. Barry volunteered to teach them how to force banks into providing loans to otherwise unqualified borrowers. Barry worked with them on an effort to get Illinois to go along with voter registration at the motor vehicles department. As a community organizer, he taught them how to take to the streets and sign people up for registration, a critical element in his campaign success when he ran for the Illinois State Senate. He’s on record as telling ACORN that he will work closely with them after he is elected, and leaders of ACORN are on video showing firm support for Obama, although they are funded with Federal dollars which are not supposed to be used for political purposes. Obama denied having any further relationship with them during the McCain-Obama debate, but never did respond to McCain’s statement that he knew, as a matter of fact, that Obama had recently paid $800,000 to an affiliate of ACORN for staging and lighting work. That memo was later changed to reflect that the work was done for advance political setups after the Federal Election Commission questioned it. And, when the issue of voter registration fraud came out, Obama turned as white as a sheet, (and you can take from that play on words whatever you will). Now, ACORN is now being tossed under the bus.

Obviously, the Obamas and Barry in particular have had some long, meaningful relationships with a whole lot of people who are under the bus. Their reaction, when initially questioned about these relationships, has always eventually progressed from “I don’t know who you are talking about,” to “I had no idea about their backgrounds or beliefs. Really!” And, when the heat turned up and damage to the campaign became evident, the spot under the bus always got more crowded.

Now, we Americans have never had a relationship with Obama. How long do you think it’s going to take for him to throw US….under the bus? Well, at least we'll have a chance to meet Joe, the Plumber. Uh, oh. Don't talk to that guy in the back of the underside of the bus! That's "Big Mouth" Joe Biden! Oh, my GOD! There's "Big Mouth" Michelle Obama, sitting right next to him! I thought she was home taking care of the kids?!!
