I wonder why Obama doesn't talk about his old roomate and other friend, who he travelled to Pakistan with back in 1981.
Doesn't this "experience" give Obama his "unique" qualifacations for foreign policy?
One has to wonder why Obama didn't invite his two Pakistani friends to be Keynote speakers at the DNC to drum up his international experience.
Or why he didn't have his Syrian real estate friend, Rezko, give a stump speech on the housing crysis.
As a freshman, he quickly became friends with Mohammed Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, two wealthy Pakistanis In 1981, Obama transferred from Occidental to Columbia. In between, he traveled to Pakistan - a trip that enhanced his foreign policy qualifications, he maintained in a private speech at a San Francisco fundraiser last month. Obama spent “about three weeks” in Pakistan, traveling with Hamid and staying in Karachi with Chandoo’s family, said Bill Burton, Obama’s press secretary.
...................
During his years at Occidental College, Mr. Obama also befriended Wahid Hamid, a fellow student who was an immigrant from Pakistan and traveled with Mr. Obama there, the Obama campaign said. Mr. Hamid is now a vice president at Pepsico in New York, and according to public records, has donated the maximum $2,300 to the Obama campaign and is listed as a fund-raiser for it.
Mr. Chandoo is now a self-employed financial consultant, living in Armonk, N.Y. He has also donated the maximum, $2,300, to Mr. Obama’s primary campaign and an additional $309 for the general election, campaign finance records show.

Does anyone still believe Obama's fund raising comes from millions of "small internet donations"? The muslims are well finianced and are backing Obama. They're essentially buying the White House.
