Hussein “Doesn’t Recall” ‘04 Rezko party

The question has lingered since it arose last week during the federal corruption trial of Antoin “Tony” Rezko: Why, just weeks after winning the Democratic U.S. Senate primary in 2004, would Barack Obama attend a party for a controversial Iraqi-born billionaire whom Rezko was trying to lure into an investment?
In an interview Friday, Obama didn’t deny the assertion by Stuart Levine, the government’s star witness in the Rezko trial, about the party honoring Nadhmi Auchi, a British citizen who is appealing a fraud conviction in France. Obama said he didn’t recall the event.
“I mean this has been, I guess, four years ago,” he said. “My understanding, through his lawyer, Mr. Auchi doesn’t recall meeting me.”
Asked if he thought Rezko may have been using him to impress potential investors, Obama replied: “I just don’t have a recollection of the event. As I said, I was in the middle of running a U.S. Senate race. So, you know, I was speaking all the time, probably six, seven, eight times a day

April 26th, 2008 at 12:47 pmI thought that meeting was after Obama won the U.S. Senate seat. Which is at odds with Obama being busy speaking several times a day while running for the U.S.Senate seat.
Anybody keeping track of time lines?
I’ve gotten so I can’t believe anything Barack Obama says. He “forgot” knowing Rezko, he “forgot” meeting Auchi, he “forgot” he was attending the radical Trinity Church.
Barack Obama has “forgotten” every person he knew while attending Columbia U. in NYC. Barack Obama has “forgotten” every person he knew at Occidental College in L.A.
Could smoking marijuana and “looking for blow whenever he could afford it,” cause a person to be that forgetful?
He forgot the cameras were on him this week when he gave Hillary “the finger.” He forgot again that the cameras were on him when he answered a reporter’s question the last day of so, and he gave the reporter, and the world, “the finger.”
Somebody is going to have to take that boy down and wash his mouth out with soap. He has a lot of growin’ up to do. gw.
