A look at Barack HUSSEIN Obama's career in Illinios August 10, 2008 07:52 PM EDT (Updated: August 10, 2008 07:53 PM EDT) views: 20 \| comments: 5 2004 - Responding to questions about his intent to serve out the six year senate term, Obama says that he will not run for the presidency in four years. It is interesting to note that ALL videos of his lying speech have been removed from the internet. 2005 - Less than two months after ascending to the U.S. Senate, Barack Obama bought more than $50,000 worth of stock in two speculative companies whose major investors included some of his biggest political donors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that was starting to develop a drug to treat avian flu. In March 2005, two weeks after buying about $5,000 of its shares, Obama took the lead in a legislative push for more federal spending to battle the disease. He also bought more than $50,000 in stock in a satellite communications business whose principal backers include four friends and donors who had raised more than $150,000 for his political committees. A spokesman for Obama says the senator did not know that he had invested in either company. Muhahahahahaha 2008 - The Times (UK) has discovered Illinois state documents recording that Fintrade Services, a Panamanian company controlled by Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born British billionaire, lent money to an Obama fundraiser in May 2005. The undeclared $3.5 million (£1.8 million) payment from the corrupt businessman has landed Tony Rezko, Barack Obama's former fundraiser behind bars. The payment, disclosed in court papers, is the first time that Mr Obama's long-serving bagman Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a Syrian immigrant to the United States, has been linked to Nadhmi Auchi, who is one of Britain's richest men. The relationship is a potential embarrassment for Obama, who has made his opposition to the Iraq war a central plank of his campaign. 2008 - Obama began chairing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Subcommittee on European Affairs in January 2007, not a single policy hearing has been conducted on anything, Afghanistan or otherwise. When Hillary Clinton brought this up at the Cleveland debate, Obama conceded, "I became chairman of this committee at the beginning of this campaign. ... So it is true that we haven't had oversight hearings on Afghanistan." ‘Nuff said. Obama is chair of The Subcommittee On European Affairs. It has Jurisdiction over the countries of Europe, as well as NATO activities. "Jurisdiction: The subcommittee deals with all matters concerning U.S. relations with the countries on the continent of Europe ... and with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the European Union and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe." He hasn't convened a single meeting. Obama has never held a single policy hearing on anything, not Afghanistan, or anywhere else. U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, a Hebron Republican, compared Obama and his message for change similar to a "snake oil salesman" [at a Northern Kentucky Lincoln Day dinner]. He said in his remarks at the GOP dinner that he also recently participated in a "highly classified, national security simulation" with Obama. "I'm going to tell you something: That boy's finger does not need to be on the button," Davis said. "He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country." theobamafile.com gather.com
