BOMBSHELL** Obama Education Funded By Saudis?

I don’t know if it’s a bombshell or not, but Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit calls it that.  Here’s his report:

In 2009 Barack Obama bowed to the Saudi King.

Now we may know why.

Instapundit reported this BOMBSHELL today:

OBAMA’S POSSIBLE TIES TO ARAB WORLD DEEPENS:  A reporter for a paper called the Daily Interlake, Frank Miele, recently discovered a 1979 op-ed by Vernon Jarrett(the
father-in-law to Obama Senior Advisor, confidant, Iranian-born Valerie
Jarrett) in the St. Petersburg (FL) Evening Independent.  Miele reports
the column addressed:

“rumored billions of dollars the oil-rich Arab nations
are supposed to unload on American black leaders and minority
institutions.” The columnist quoted a black San Francisco lawyer who
said, “It’s not just a rumor. Aid will come from some of the Arab
states.”

Well, if anyone would know, it would have been this lawyer — Donald
Warden, who had helped defend OPEC in an antitrust suit that year and
had developed significant ties with the Saudi royal family since
becoming a Muslim and taking the name Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour.”

Who is Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour?
As reported earlier, black Islamist Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas, campaigned to get Obama into Harvard.

Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour
is a Muslim lawyer and a black nationalist who made news in 2008 when
it was revealed that he had been a patron of Barack Obama and had
recommended the latter for admission to Harvard Law School in 1988.

Before becoming a Muslim, al-Mansour in the 1960s was named Don
Warden. He was deeply involved in San Francisco Bay Area racial politics
as founder of a group called the African American Association. A close
personal adviser to Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, al-Mansour helped the
pair establish the Black Panther Party but later broke with them when
they entered coalitions with white radical groups.

Al-Mansour has been an adviser to Saudi billionaires who fund the
spread of Wahhabi extremism in America… Al-Mansour is an outspoken hater
of the United States, Israel, and white people generally.

Glenn Reynolds added:

So let’s get this straight: Our President may have deep
ties (personal and financial) not only to black nationalist extremists,
but also wealthy Arabs who publicly floated the idea of financing, among
other projects, the top-flight education of young black Americans who
might (hopefully) one day share their hatred of America?

It looks like it.
