A British citizen of Iraqi descent, Mr. Auchi, 70, is a billionaire, the 279th richest man in the world, according to a Forbes magazine survey last year.
I watched with nausea as Obama spoke a while back in Minneapolis and praised and praised the popular former senator from Minnesota, Paul Wellstone, who unfortunately was killed several years ago in a plane crash.
I couldn’t help but think of David Sirota’s article about Obama in The Nation, Mr. Obama goes to Washington, in which Obama refers to Wellstone as a gadfly. Gadfly is defined as; a persistent irritating critic; a nuisance.

Rezko is the smoking gun that McCain can’t wait to exploit. I’m not sure of course, but I think it’s likely the reason republicans have been working so hard to get Obama to be the Dem nominee, as evidenced by the fact that they have spent millions in several primaries advertising against Clinton, and none on Obama, and have also voted for him in huge numbers in a number of primaries that weren’t so close on the Republican side.
