OBAMAGATE?

Is rising-star Barack Obama ALREADY only a shooting star?

Obama may already be involved in a brewing legal scandal that may involve a breech of contract. According to famed gossip columnist CINDY ADAMS of the NY POST, Obama recently and abruptly reneged on a new contract from his longtime literary agent, and then bolted to BJ Clinton's agent - courtesy of Lewinsky job advisor Vernon Jordan.

Do you think this scandal is too small a matter to be called OBAMAGATE?

Maybe; maybe NOT. Remember: book scandals helped bring down two Speakers of the House: Wright and Gingrich.

If Obama cannot be trusted to honor a contract with a longtime agent, should we trust him when he takes the oath of office?

Perhaps NOT.

In December 2006 we AGAIN pointed out that Obama DUMPED his very first literary agent - a person who picked him out of NOWHERE and talked him into writing his first book - Dreams of My Father - BEFORE ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD EVEN KNEW WHO HE WAS!

EXCERPT:

EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF MAN IS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, JR?

Barack Hussein Obama Jr. - the junior, 1st-term Senator from Illinois is a dishonorable and untrustworthy man. Here's why:

After graduating from Harvard Law, the then utterly unknown Obama was contacted by a bright aggressive NYC literary agent who thought - because of Obama's mixed heritage and modest background - BHO Jr might have an interesting story to tell. They signed a contract. After much work, the agent sold Obama Jr's book. It was Obama Jr's first.

After Obama Jr's pretty and pretty well-received convention speech in 2004 - (and before he was elected to the Senate) - he broke this contract with this agent, (the one who picked him up out of nowhere and got him his first book deal), in order to sign with a bigger agent, (to whom he was introduced by perjurer Bill Clinton).

Instead of being loyal to the agent who helped put him on the map, he dumped her the first chance he got, and jumped on to the roster of a bigger bigshot - who didn't have to break a sweat in order to sell Obama Jr's SECOND book! (Barack Hussein Obama Jr. eventually agreed to a settlement for breaking his contract with his first agent.)

Personal behavior like this reveals lot; it reveals that in Barack Hussein Obama Jr's world, trust and honor mean NOTHING.

YUP: the first chance he had - Obama walked away from his friendship, AND HIS SIGNED CONTRACT and DUMPED this agent, virtually TOSSING HER UNDER THE BUS, as soon as Bill Clinton introduced him to a bigger agent (right after his breakout 2004 Kerry Convention speech).

• This is the very same way Obama has dealt with his LONGTIME FINANCIAL BACKER REZKO.
• This is the very same way Obama dealt with his "typical white" grandmother.
• This is the very same way Obama dealt with Wright. (Although in Wright's case, Obama only dumped him just weeks after saying he could not and would not disown Wright! He dumps friends only if and when it's expedient.)

BOTTOM-LINE: In Obama's amoral world, when loyalty confronts ambition, loyalty ALWAYS loses.

A man as consistently disloyal as Obama is unfit for the presidency.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

OBAMA: A CORRUPT CROOK IN DEEP WITH A CORRUPT CHICAGO REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES (VIA PAJAMAS MEDIA):

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama said Monday he accepted campaign contributions from Antoin "Tony'' Rezko without knowing that Rezko was a slumlord with problem buildings in the state Senate district Obama represented at the time.

"Should I have known these buildings were in a state of disrepair? My answer would be that it wasn't brought to my attention,'' Obama, who's seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, said at a South Side campaign stop.

His comments came in response to a Chicago Sun-Times report that he had done previously undisclosed legal work between 1995 and 1998 on a series of troubled low-income-housing deals involving Rezmar Corp., owned by the indicted businessman.

Obama worked for a small Chicago law firm -- Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland -- between 1993 and 2004. The firm worked on deals that got $43 million in government funds for 15 apartment buildings Rezmar rehabilitated with not-for-profit community groups. Four of the buildings ended up being foreclosed on.

OBAMA IS OBVIOUSLY LYING.

REZKO AND OBAMA ARE VERY CLOSE: REZKO HELPED OBAMA BUY HIS MANSION - JUST A FEW YEARS AGO. WITHOUT REZKO, OBAMA COULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT HIS HOME.

WE BLOGGED ABOUT THIS CORRUPT DEAL - OBAMAGATE - HERE - DECEMBER 17, 2006.

MORE ABOUT WHAT A SC*MBAG OBAMA IS HERE.

WOW: NYTIMES COVERS OBAMAGATE!

NYTIMES:

As Mr. Obama built a career that carried him to the Senate in 2004, Mr. Rezko was there with him, holding fund-raisers and rallying support.

Now, as Mr. Obama runs for president, the once-beneficial relationship with his old friend and patron has become problematic.

Last fall, Mr. Rezko was indicted on federal charges of business fraud and influence peddling involving the administration of Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich of Illinois, whose picture was also on Mr. Rezko’s wall. Since then, Mr. Obama, a Democrat, has had to answer questions about a land deal with Mr. Rezko’s wife, Rita, and about other ties to him.

Since early June, Mr. Obama has given to charity more than $21,000 in donations that his Senate campaign had received from Rezko associates now linked to the federal inquiries. He gave away $11,500 from Mr. Rezko himself last fall.

Mr. Obama says he never did any favors for Mr. Rezko, who raised about $150,000 for his campaigns over the years and was once one of the most powerful men in Illinois. There is no sign that Mr. Obama, who declined to be interviewed for this article, did anything improper.

... Mr. Obama turned to Mr. Rezko for help at several important junctures. Records show that when Mr. Obama needed cash in the waning days of his losing 2000 Congressional campaign, Mr. Rezko rounded up thousands of dollars from business contacts. In 2003, Mr. Rezko helped Mr. Obama expand his fund-raising for the Senate primary by being host of a dinner at his Mediterranean-style home for 150 people, including some whose names have since come up in the influence scandal.

And when Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, bought a house in 2005, Mr. Rezko helped smooth the transaction. Even though his finances were deteriorating, Mr. Rezko arranged for his wife to buy an adjacent lot, and she later sold the Obamas a 10-foot-wide strip of land that expanded their yard.

The land sale occurred after it had been reported that Mr. Rezko was under federal investigation. That awkward fact prompted Mr. Obama, who has cast himself as largely free from the normal influences of politics, to express regret over what he called his own bad judgment. ...

In addition to enlisting his huge circle of donors, Mr. Rezko and Mr. Obama talked frequently about campaign developments during the Senate race, Mr. Rezko’s associates said. ... Several other Rezko associates who contributed to the Senate campaign were appointed to the state boards that Mr. Rezko is accused of influencing. Mr. Obama has not returned those donations ...

After The Chicago Tribune reported the transactions last November, Mr. Obama said he had acted ethically, though it had been a mistake to let Mr. Rezko do anything that could be seen as a favor.

The disclosure came four days before Michelle Obama was to appear as a special guest at a charity fashion show organized by Mrs. Rezko. Mrs. Obama attended, though others there said it seemed a bit awkward.

OBAMA IS SCUM. MORE PROOF HERE. And HERE and HERE.
