Did you ever wonder how Barak Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) got the money to get into Harvard law School?   Well, according to the late,  long-time Manhattan Borough Chairman Percy Sutton, Scooter got the money from Khalid al-Monsour. 

Who’s that guy?  Glad you asked.  According to Newsmax:

  Although many Americans have never heard of Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (his full name), he is well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of Israel. A graduate of Howard University with a law degree from the University of California, al-Mansour sits on numerous corporate boards, including the Saudi African Bank and Chicago-based LaGray Chemical Co. LaGray, which was formed to do business in Africa, counts former Nigerian President General Abdusalam Abubakar on its advisory board.

Mansour’s journey to notoriety and lots of Benjamins began with an introduction to the Saudi king in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 1977.   He was asked by Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal,  a student down in Newport (Calif.) to go home with him to Riyadh.  His buddy planned to ask the king for money to help with his studies in the United States. But the king refused.  Per al-Monsour:

He was mad. And then my friend told me that the basis of his anger was that OPEC was being sued, al-Mansour said. This was a very nasty conspiracy that involved some of the biggest respected political names in America. The king didn’t know all of that, but he knew he wasn’t happy. 

Al-Mansour’s buddy told the Saudi king that he was an attorney.

The King didn’t know if I was a good lawyer or bad lawyer, but said,  Will you do it?  I said, I’d have to study it.   He said, Just take it, and get out! 

The king wanted only one lawyer to represent the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.  Al-Monsour explained:

So you win or you lose, based on the outcome because no one’s going to listen to any excuses. You’re either a loser for life, or a winner for life.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Regarding his relationship with Obama and the Percy Sutton revelations, al-Monsour dodged every question he was  asked:

In respect to Mr. Obama, I have told him, because so many people are running after him, and when stories get printed they usually get distorted and then he has to spend a lot of time trying to unravel them – and then after the experience of Rev. (Jeremiah) Wright whom I’ve never met, but I’ve followed the media coverage – I was determined that I was never going to be in that situation. I never discuss Barack Obama.

Al-Mansour had heard of Percy Sutton’s revelations that identified him as raising money for Obama’s law school education when the presidential candidate was 25.

But I’ve never confirmed it.  What you have since I’ve been out of the country is bloggers saying this is the new Rev. Wright — in drag! and he is a nationalist, racist, and worse than Rev. Wright. I’m not getting into that. Any statement that I make would only further the activity which is not in the interest of Barack, not in the interest of Percy, not in the interest of anyone. For the bloggers to not even have the courtesy to call me to ask what’s happening is a clear sign to me. There’s no need. There’s no benefit. So why do it?

When asked whether he had identified Barack Obama while he was an undergraduate at Columbia as a promising student he wanted to help get into Harvard Law School, al-Mansour developed a sudden case of partial amnesia.

I give a lot of speeches on college campuses, in the US and abroad. So I meet people all the time…. But I can’t say that I remember that.

Nor would he confirm or deny that he had called Sutton to ask him to help Obama get into Harvard.

I’m not going to say that. That lends itself regardless of the answer and regardless of the truth to the type of sensationalism that I don’t consider productive to the goals that I have. I don’t see how this will promote education. I don’t see how this will promote a global respect. I don’t see how it deals with the basic issues we’re faced with in the country. I try to limit my comments to those kinds of issues, to avoid the tendency of the press to sensationalize both positive and negative.

By now, I’m sure most of you are asking yourselves the same thing I did:

Why haven’t I heard of Khalid al-Monsour?

Pundits like Ben Smith of politico.com reported that Mr. Sutton was old and clearly off his rocker.  Others, like Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times reported during the late  part of Obama’s Presidential Campaign that:

The Obama’s were complaining about college debt.  Obama took out $42,753 in loans to pay for Harvard tuition.

President Obama attend Harvard Law School from 1988 – 1991.  The average tuition during that time was $25,000 per year.  It would have cost $75,000 to attend there for 3 years.  As president of the Harvard Law Review, he received no stipend from the school, according to Harvard spokesman Mike Armini in a interview with Newsmax.

If numbers cited by the Obama Presidential Campaign for Scooter”s student loans are accurate, that means that Obama came up with more than $32,000 over three years from sources other than loans to pay for tuition, room and board.  Hmmmmm.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.  There is a bunch of shady stuff floating around out there regarding the President of the United State’s past that has rarely seen the light of day.  It is being zealously guarded by The Magnificent One’s acolytes, like a mouse would guard a piece of cheese.  How did Obama become President?   Ask the Main Stream Media.  All the information in this blog from Newsmax, including Al-Monsour’s interview, was published in early September of 2008.
