Mushrarraf’s US-Based Family Supporting Obama
By Charles Lemos on May 27, 2008 at 8:17 PM in Barack Obama, John Kerry, John McCain, Pakistan
The Times of India is reporting that:
Musharraf’s brother and son, who are based in the US, have been making generous donations to Obama who is a strong opponent of the Bush administration. Naveed Musharraf, the president’s brother, and Irum Bilal Musharraf, his daughter-in-law, have reportedly given donations to Obama instead of Republican Party’s John McCain.
According to US federal election commission records, Musharraf’s family has never been supportive of Republicans in terms of donations.
The family had supported John Kerry against George Bush in 2004, the News has reported. It is well known within the Pakistani community in the US that Musharraf’s family, including his son Bilal, have been quietly asking him to revise his decision to continue fighting for his position.
I guess they do not remember these comments:
DRIP DRIP DRIP…when will it stop?
How can foreign nationals living here contribute to a presidential campaign here?
Are there not laws prohibiting this?
From Gaza with Love…Starring Obama Sharif.
Eurogirl70, Obama makes NO effort to follow Election Laws including this. He did not need any stinking laws in Chicago, why should he start now?
Dayum that is some WIDESPREAD news gathering effort!! Bravo!
Are we the laughing stock of the World once again????
I can feel the ground shaking from all the ROFLOL around the globe.
I am so embarrassed. These amateur puppies need to get BACK on the PORCH cuz they can’t keep up with the BIG DAWGS!!
besides they still need their shots - rabies and all that
Who pays the piper calls the tune!!! Obama will always have to remember those hefty donations.
rut roh!
Obama is such a dip wad. What else can you say?
Resident aliens can legally contribute to candidates and I am guessing that they are legal aliens. In that, there is no foul, it’s more the disconnect between Obama and his lack of foreign policy knowledge that worries me.
At the very least there would appear to be a significant conflict of interest.
It matters.
Now Obama is beholding to them. They are expecting something. Someone please stop this guy. SuperD’s..
When are you going to jump the Obama ship?
Stop him. Someone??
Bush will declare marshall law
Maybe Barky can get a endorsement from AQ Khan, that would really cement his standing in the international community.
Gee. Yet another Pakistani of dubious ties supports Barack Obama. What a surprise.
well
that makes it one of amillion surprises that media will not talk about
hey u guys
thats fantastic news
another muslim family who believes in communism supports obama—–
With all the ties to the middleast and anti isreali interest and money his campaign is constantly trying to hide and deflect questions about and avoid having the in the tank media get wind of, i just don’t understand why they are so obsessed with avoiding using his middle name of Hussein.
Oh wait, i guess i do.
Elite White Democratic guilt whether conscious or subconscious they are trying to kill two GUILT birds with ONE stone with
Barack Hussein Odrama
they are moving in a MASS GUILT WAVE
Umm. What laws were broken again? Just curious.
The laws of gravity for one, when it comes to Obama.
The laws of decency, he’s class A felon.
The laws of karma, definitely!
The Oath he took to protect and defend the U.S Constitution and the one he took as a State Senator of Illinois.
RICO laws rings a bell as well.
“Everyone else was doing it!”, is not a legal defense either.
That help?
Maddie, No one has suggested that any laws were broken but Obama has suggested bombing Pakistan, an ally, unilaterally and ties to Mushraff’s family show a disconnect between support for Obama and his lack of foreign policy experience. That’s what I am pointing out. If foreign policy matters to you, then you show not be voting for Obama because he has continually made missteps throughout his campaign. In foreign policy, such blunders have long lasting effects.
Because all the right people know that Obama lies to the media and US citizens.
Obama is totally fake.
Obama is a fraud.
There’s a larger issue here which is fascinating. Bush and his administration have been Musharraf’s strongest supporters for years, even to the point that administration officials had to literally go out and beg the newly elected government of Pakistan to not be too mean to Mush. The fact that Musharraf’s family donates to Democrats at all is beyond ironic. Biting the hand that feeds you? Yeah, looks like it.
My thoughts exactly–very ironic.
The only motivation I see for any rogue leader (Muslim or otherwise–including Castro, Chavez) to support Obama is his obvious weakness.
A Muslim is always a Muslim, although he said he renounced his birth right religion. I’m not shocked if the Muslim world are behind him 100%. Obama’s talked of bombing Pakistan is only a macho stance and expediency.He’s dangerous man! We should use all our resources to defeat this man.
I agree with jyotinc. The Muslim world is behind Obama because they recognize that he’s one of them. He was indoctrinated in the Koran as a child and has sought out his father’s roots (which are deeply Islamic)following his rejection of his mother and her family. His statement about bombing Pakistan is pure deception; “taqiyah” as the Muslims say, which is a strategy sanctioned in the Koran for Muslims to use against non-Muslims. Obama’s record fund-raising should be viewed in the context of the Islamic world funneling large amounts of money into his campaign. We are being set-up for defeat in the war against a totalitarian, barbaric, and anti-human ideology!
