A British-Iraqi billionaire lent millions of dollars to Barack Obama's fundraiser just weeks before an imprudent land deal that has returned to haunt the presidential contender, an investigation by The Times discloses.
The money transfer raises the question of whether funds from Nadhmi Auchi, one of Britain’s wealthiest men, helped Mr Obama buy his mock Georgian mansion in Chicago.

Senator helped fund organization that rejects 'racist' Israel's existence.

A Spry Farrakhan Sings Obama’s Praises
February 25, 2008
In his first major public address since a cancer crisis, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the "hope of the entire world" that the U.S. will change for the better.
The 74-year-old Farrakhan, addressing an estimated crowd of 20,000 people at the annual Saviours' Day celebration, never outrightly endorsed Obama but spent most of the nearly two-hour speech praising the Illinois senator.
Obama must have more than speech
February 25, 2008
By Joe Fitzgerald
When John McCain alludes to Barack Obama’s “eloquent but empty” rhetoric he is wisely acknowledging what’s abundantly clear to everyone else, i.e., that this oratorical phenom is the most dynamic speaker to hit the public domain since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was gunned down nearly 40 years ago.
But he is also wise to imply there might be a vacuum beneath that veneer.

February 24, 2008
Sen. Barack Obama's refusal to wear an American flag lapel pin along with a photo of him not putting his hand over his heart during the National Anthem led conservatives on Internet and in the media to question his patriotism.
Now Obama's wife, Michelle, has drawn their ire, too, for saying recently that she's really proud of her country for the first time in her adult life.
Consider What Obama Actually Promises To Do
February 23, 2008
By Michael Tanner
Barack Obama is now the clear front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. He's risen high on his inspiring persona and uplifting rhetoric. At a time of prolonged war and economic uncertainty, he appeals to Americans' hope for something better than the bitter partisan infighting that has paralyzed Washington. And Obama offers an opportunity for closing America's racial divide. It is hard not to cheer his success.
Obama May Face Grilling on Patriotism
February 23, 2008
By Nedra Pickler Sen. Barack Obama's refusal to wear an American flag lapel pin along with a photo of him not putting his hand over his heart during the National Anthem led conservatives on Internet and in the media to question his patriotism. Now Obama's wife, Michelle, has drawn their ire, too, for saying recently that she's really proud of her country for the first time in her adult life. February 23, 2008 By Ben Smith, The Politico In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. While Ayers and Dohrn may be thought of in Hyde Park as local activists, they’re better known nationally as two of the most notorious — and unrepentant — figures from the violent fringe of the 1960s anti-war movement. February 23, 2008 The Presidency: Just days after his wife declared she had never been proud of her country until now, Barack Obama says America mustn't act like "we stand above the rest of the world." A disturbing pattern is emerging. The most famous image Ronald Reagan liked to inspire Americans with was that of the "shining city upon a hill." Far from being original, it dated from America's very beginnings. February 23, 2008 By Ed Morrissey Last year, John McCain took a lot of criticism for skipping CPAC, the annual convention of the conservative base he now needs to woo. This year, Barack Obama may make the same kind of misstep, regretfully declining to attend the State of the Black Union forum in New Orleans, explaining that campaigning in Ohio and Texas will take priority. Hillary Clinton managed to carve out some room in her schedule to attend, however:
