Thanks to Jacob for providing the previous post on Obama and his past affiliations with those of shady intent. Obama needs to come clean with the electorate on the extent of his relationships with these individuals.

But, the story does not stop there. Reverend Wright was just one of several undisclosed blips on Obama’s radar screen. It was uncovered recently, that Khalid al-Mansour, key adviser to Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed, was a close associate of Obama’s. How close ? Without the aid of Khalid al-Mansour, it is very likely Obama would never have made it to Harvard.

Percy Sutton, the former borough president of Manhattan, off-handedly revealed the unusual circumstances about his first encounter with the young Obama.

“I was introduced to (Obama) by a friend who was raising money for him,” Sutton told NY1 city hall reporter Dominic Carter.

“The friend’s name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas,” Sutton said. “He is the principal adviser to one of the world’s richest men. He told me about Obama.”

Sutton said he acted on his friend al-Mansour’s advice. “I wrote a letter of support of him to my friends at Harvard, saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I certainly hoped they would treat him kindly,” Sutton told NY1.

Khalid al-Mansour was raising money for Obama, and then requests a letter to Harvard to assist with Obama’s admission. The money being raised, could this be how a community organizer, from the South Side of Chicago, financed his Harvard education ? With Saudi money, Wahhabi money ?

Obama continues to refuse to release his Columbia transcripts. Will these show that his entrance into Harvard was not a result of academic achievement, but was instead given to him as a result of his political connections, and Saudi money ?

We should be familiar with Prince Alwaleed, as he recently was involved in his own scandal in conjunction with Georgetown University :

FrontPageMagazine.com | Tuesday, February 19, 2008 In December 2005, Georgetown University announced receipt of a $20 million gift to endow the school’s Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding by Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, after whom the Center was renamed. The Center’s director, John Esposito, has been known for his vigorous apologetics for Islamic extremism, authoring several books prior to the endowment’s announcement dismissing the global influence of extremist Islamic ideology. Under Esposito’s oversight, the Center has also developed questionable ties to individuals and organizations directly involved in Islamic terrorism. One example of these ties is the joint conference held by the Center with the United Association for Studies and Research (UASR) in July 2000. By that time, UASR had long been identified as the political command for HAMAS in the United States, and Esposito’s co-chair for the conference was then-UASR executive director Ahmed Yousef, who fled the country in 2005 to avoid prosecution and currently serves as the spokesman for the HAMAS terrorist organization in Gaza.

Full Story

Georgetown was not the only school to receive a $20 million grant for an Islamic studies center. Harvard was the second. Could Obama ’s Harvard education have been provided to him to lay the groundwork for the future Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Islamic Studies Program there ?

With information on Obama continuing to emerge, it appears that he has even more connections than Kevin Bacon. Unfortunately for us, like “change”, not all connections are good ones.

Videos of Khalid al-Mansour speeches are available on the Townhall link below. Watch these, then you will understand that Rev. Wright was not only only radical that helped to shape the Obama before us today.
