How Obama got into Harvard

 Posted on Western Journalism by Caleb on May 27, 2010 at http://www.westernjournalism.com/?p=8127

     Two years ago I inadvertently began my exploration of the authorship of Barack Obama's 1995 memoir, 'Dreams From My Father,' with an inquiry into how Obama got into Harvard Law School in 1988.  In the summer of 2008, I was tipped to a story that the media were scrupulously ignoring. It involved the venerable African-American entrepreneur and politico Percy Sutton.

Obama had some influential friends�

     A Manhattan borough president for 12 years and a credible candidate for mayor of New York City in 1977, Sutton had appeared in late March 2008 on a local New York City show called 'Inside City Hall.'

When asked about Obama by the show's host, Dominic Carter, the octogenarian Sutton calmly and lucidly explained that he had been 'introduced to [Obama] by a friend.'

     The friend's name was Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, and the introduction had taken place about 20 years prior. Sutton described al-Mansour as "the principal adviser to one of the world's richest men."  The billionaire in question was Saudi prince Al-Waleed bin Talal.

     According to Sutton, al-Mansour had asked him to 'please write a letter in support of [Obama]' a young man that has applied to Harvard.  Sutton had friends at Harvard and gladly did so.

    Three months before the election it should have mattered that a respected black political figure had publicly announced that a crazed anti-Semite like al-Mansour, backed by an equally bonkers Saudi billionaire, had been guiding Obama's career perhaps for the last 20 years, but the story died a quick and unnatural death.
