According to Judicial Watch, the documents were obtained under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton notes the documents reveal that Obama really took care of his friends and family members with taxpayer money.
"Twenty-five thousand dollars to his wife's cousin, $100,000 to a garden project in Illinois that went nowhere and was wasted, $100,000 to the radical Catholic Priest Father Pfleger, $75,000 to an organization called FORUM, which is run by a group of people that, after they got the grant, gave him thousands of dollars in campaign contributions," Fitton recounts.
He adds that Judicial Watch also recently obtained records detailing the nature of Obama's controversial relationship with domestic terrorist William Ayers and convicted felon Tony Rezko.
"This is an unholy triumvirate -- Obama, Mr. Rezko, and Mr. Ayers. And Mr. Ayers and his wife, who's also a terrorist, were unrepentant and they were political supporters of Barack Obama," Fitton contends. "And as importantly, Barack Obama, through this Chicago Annenberg challenge, was actually funding Ayers' radical efforts to educate our school children, which is frightening."
Fitton says it is beyond comprehension why anyone would give money to a terrorist.
