Carnival of Ohio Politics #132

I am going to cop out and not do a theme this week. I think I broke my hand punching my kitchen counter last night, so typing is painful. There were a ton of good posts this week across the blogosphere.

Obama Receives Big Money From Pro-Iranian Foreigners

Obama’s foreign funds continue to finance his trip toward the Presidency. He might try to complain about “big oil” interests but what exactly are his interests? Better yet what interest do the Big Money from the Gaza and pro-Iranian interests?

Biden’s Ties to Pro-Iran Groups Questioned

By: Kenneth R. Timmerman

Sen. Barack Obama and his newly-picked running mate, Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, may have sparred during the primaries. But on one issue they are firmly united: the need to forge closer ties to the government of Iran.

Kaveh Mohseni, a spokesman for the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran, calls Biden “a great friend of the mullahs.”

He notes that Biden’s election campaigns “have been financed by Islamic charities of the Iranian regime based in California and by the Silicon Iran network,” a loosely-knit group of wealthy Iranian-American businessmen and women seeking to end the U.S. trade embargo on Iran.

“In exchange, the senator does his best to aid the mullahs,” Mohseni argues.

Biden’s ties to pro-Tehran lobbying groups are no secret. But so far, the elite media has avoided even mentioning the subject.

Perhaps the easiest line is the Obama campaign doesn’t want to raise “fears” of his potential presidency.
