We’re spending BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to bailout corrupt Wall Street insiders who have committed dozens of crimes their pet politicians refuse to even investigate! Our standard of living is visibly declining for the poor and middle class. And these kinds of things are happening all across the country in every aspect of American life!

Now I’m not going to blame all of this on the Jackasses masquerading as the Democratic party right now. It was in fact Republicans who started it! It was the party of *cough* “morals” *cough* that launched a witch hunt against Bill Clinton, and spent millions to set him up for getting a blow job. Now before anyone argues that point, think about this. Why did Monica decide to save a semen stained dress for months without washing it?!? That’s just EWWWW!!!

And remember who her next door neighbor was, the one who bought her place after she had to leave Washington DC. For those who don’t remember…that would be Bob Dole. And that witch hunt was led by Newt Gingrich, who was having an extra marital affair at the exact same time he was claiming Bill Clinton was unfit to serve in any capacity in the Government because he had one. Talk about your hypocrisy.

All of this has a root in the complete and utter failure of the MSM to do it’s job! They want the ratings now, to hell with the truth. It was their incompetence that led to 8 years of Bush as they praised him non-stop before the 2000 election, and took every opportunity to insult and tear down Al Gore. They did it again in 2004 when they kept running stories about Vietnam vets claiming all sorts of lies about Kerry. They knew they were lies, they knew when the courts ordered the ads pulled because they were lies. But they never reported on that aspect of it! And now they bring us Obama…with the VAST majority of them being so blatantly in the tank for him, even foreign press have commented on it when they themselves preferred him without any vetting. One has to look no further than the simple fact, that the masses in America have no clue who Aiham Alsammarae is.

Alsammarae is a name that should have been reported on every news channel in the world. He is wanted by Iraq and Interpol! Yet running around free as a bird in Chicago. He was convicted of stealing $650 million of US taxpayers money from Iraq reconstruction funds! Yet he was allowed to first make a donation to Obama, that was only returned after it was noticed by others. Then he put up his house as collateral to allow his and Barack’s dear friend Rezko to make bail….WTF?!? How were all of his US holdings NOT seized the second he was indicted for embezzling Iraqi reconstruction funds? Let alone allowing him to put them up for bail money for another now convicted criminal friend of Obama’s! Isn’t that the first thing the DOJ is supposed to do in such cases?

I could go on and on…but I think you get the gist. I am one Pissed Off Vet!

He also donated $2300 to Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign. Barack Obama will be donating Mr. Alsammarae’s contribution to charity now. Seems fair, right?

Alsammarae — a friend of Rezko’s since their days as classmates at the Illinois Institute of Technology — once was accused of corruption in Iraq, but he broke out of a Baghdad jail, returned to the U.S. and has since said the charges against him have been vacated.

Being the Obama-Skeptic that I am, you just know I had to find out more about who Aiham Alsammarae is besides Iraq’s former Electricity Minister who was charged with corruption in Iraq, escaped from jail, bailedout his smarmy friend Rezko and contributed to Barack Obama’s campaign.

It didn’t take long to find out that, among other slimey activities, Rezko is accused of giving Alsammarae a $1.5 million bribe for the electrical contract to train Iraqi power plant security guards. Friends are wonderful things, aren’t they?

My search also took me to a December 21, 2006 New York Times piece and the story of the incarcerated Alsammarae and his subsequent escape to that wonderful bunker for domestic terrorists, foreign millionaires of dubious activities, Black Separatist ministers and other assorted scum balls: Chicago.

OAK BROOK, Ill., December 20 - It was an

unremarkable scene on Wednesday outside a gated community here where the former Iraqi electricity minister, Aiham Alsammarae, now a fugitive from justice, keeps a palatial house.

Having escaped from a Baghdad jail over the weekend in what he boasted was the “Chicago way,” Mr. Alsammarae, whose whereabouts are unknown, could have been on the way back here.

Mr. Alsammarae, who holds dual American and Iraqi citizenship, moved to the Chicago area in the late 1970s but returned to Iraq just after the American-led invasion.

He was jailed four months ago on corruption charges related to deals made when he was the electricity manager, from August 2003 to May 2005.

Not a bad deal hey? 4 months in jail for $1.5 million? Where do I sign up?

Apparently, Mr. Alsammarae wasn’t too thrilled with America at the time of his escape to Illinois either:

BAGHDAD, Dec. 19 — In a lengthy phone conversation on Tuesday, the former Iraqi electricity minister who escaped from a Baghdad jail on Sunday ridiculed American and Iraqi officials and said he fled because he did not trust the police and had received a tip that he would be assassinated within days.

I guess all of Mr. Alsammarae’s deals when he was Iraq’s Electricity Minister were pretty lucrative, considering the “palatial” description of his home in Illinois. It sure looks like Tony Rezko gave that home a little Jump Start doesn’t it?

Safe and sound in Good Old Chicago, Mr. Alsammarae had this to say:

Despite the charges against him, Mr. Alsammarae said he did not believe that the American authorities would arrest him in Chicago. “I hope they are smarter than that,” he said.

So, basically, Mr. Alsammarae is just one more of those fine upstanding Duel-Citizenship people of dubious activity who seem to gravitate toward Barack Obama. Alsammarae is just another one of those “regular guys” in the Obama Camp.

In any event, I guess we can assume that, like Tony Rezko, Mr. Alsammarae likes Barack Obama a lot. It must have something to do with that Hopey Changey thing.

The Obama campaign says Alsammarae made an “online” contribution, which of course frees them of any responsibility for the receipt of money from this upstanding citizen. And of course, Barack Obama doesn’t recall ever meeting Auchi Alsammarae.

That, beyond the corrupt influence-peddling and Obama’s exploitation of these associations for his own personal and political gain — as Mike Howell pointed out in a comment tonight — there were poor people in Chicago who did not get decent housing (as shown graphically in the video below), even though Rezko got millions in government monies for supposed rehabilitation. This infuriates me. So why didn’t it infuriate Obama? Why did “Mr. Community Organizer” hang around Rezko, giving him a tour of his prospective new home and getting Rezko to buy the adjacent lot, knowing that this man misused millions and denied people decent housing – including heat in the winter? How could Barack Obama bear to be in the same room with such a man who’d put his OWN constituents through hell? Let alone cook up a cozy home purchase with him since he couldn’t afford the home and lot on his own — when there were surely other wealthy patrons and friends who might have helped instead? Why choose the man who’s under active federal investigation? Does such a man have any morals? In my book, such a man does not have morals and is only interested in the influences and monies that a “fixer” like Rezko can bring him.

Note the afterword in the above video. UPDATE: Mel wrote this comment below.

Small-time slumlord? Come on! Rezko milked the taxpayers of over $100 million and is a benefactor of Auchi, banker for Saddam Hussein and banker for the oil for food Iraq UN set up who misused funds as well as an associate of Alsammarae who stole $650 million from the Iraq reconstruction funds and a wanted criminal!

Small time my foot, wake up and learn more than a lousy stump speech!

And now the next video, which delves far more into the troubling associations with the iraqi billionaire Nadhmi Auchi:
