The more we learn about the fund raisers for Obama, the more uneasy it makes us.. In this FrontPageMagazine article by Patrick Poole, we learn that a Toledo, Ohio based Islamic charity fund raiser, Dr. Hatem El-Hady had his fronting charity, Kind Hearts, closed by the IRS for funneling funds to Palestinian terrorist groups. Now, because of his abiding friendship with Michelle Obama, he’s turned out to be a fund raiser for her husband. Now, we suspect the reason is that El-Hady has a means of ‘washing’ foreign Islamist contributions to Obama’s Presidential campaign. Just keep the proceeds below the radar screen of individual contributor limits and the Federal Election Commission won’t be any the wiser. While that may be speculation of our part, it may just end up hitting close to the mark. After all, Obama is now the favorite Presidential contender for Hamas.

Note these comments on El-Hatem from Poole’s FrontPageMagazine article:

But his leadership of Kindhearts is not the only thing that has brought him scrutiny by federal law enforcement officials. Last summer, El-Hady was questioned by the FBI concerning his knowledge of possible conspirators in a UK-based terror plot.

Hatem El-Hady’s interest in “change” is understandable. Following the closure of Kindhearts, he said in response to the government’s closure of his organization:

“It’s dirty politics,” said Dr. Hatem Elhady, chairman of the board of KindHearts, which raised $5.1 million in 2004. “They do not like the way things are going in Palestine.

USA: Two years ago, Hatem El-Hady was the chairman of the Toledo, Ohio-based Islamic charity, Kindhearts, which was closed by the US government in February 2006 for terrorist fundraising and all its assets frozen. Today, El-Hady has redirected his fundraising efforts for his newest cause - Barack Obama for President.

El-Hady has his own dedicated page on Barack Obama’s official website, chronicling his fundraising on behalf of the Democratic Party presidential candidate (his Obama profile established on February 19, 2008 - two years to the day after Kindhearts was raided by the feds). Not only that, but he has none other than Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle Obama, listed as one of his friends (one of her 224 listed friends).

But his leadership of Kindhearts is not the only thing that has brought him scrutiny by federal law enforcement officials. Last summer, El-Hady was questioned by the FBI concerning his knowledge of possible conspirators in a UK-based terror plot.
