Clinton Buddy R. Altman's National Enquirer: "Obama's secrets...His close friendship with terrorist"

[Emit]

Just saw this in the grocery store, so I thought I'd find out who owns this grocery store rag. Come to find out, it's owned by one Roger C. Altman, a close friend of both Bill and Hillary Clinton. Altman was Clinton's former Deputy Treasury Secretary.

Asked about Ayers, Obama's campaign spokesman David Alexrod freely admitted: "Yes, they're friendly."

Bill Hobbs, communications director for the Tennessee Republican Party, revealed there are other links between the senator and America's enemies.

"Obama has a foreign policy advisor, Robert Maley, who blames Israel for anything bad and suggests we ought to be doing business with Hamas (the radical Palestinian militants dedicated to Israel's destruction)," Hobbs told the enquirer.

Hobbs believes Obama will be putting America's strongest ally in the Middle East right in the crosshairs of our enemies.

Just as disturbing is the alleged link between Obama and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has referred to Jews as "dogs" and "pigs"...

Even worse, the Enquirer floats rumors that Obama is an Iranian agent without directly contradicting them:

The senator's questionable associations have fired up Internet bloggers and their imaginations.

The "New York Post" recently reported that some Internet "posts" even claim that Obama is an Iranian agent sent to take over the U.S. government and wage war against Sunni Muslims."

THE MEDIA BUSINESS; Leading Tabloid Publisher to Buy a Big Competitor:

... American Media, the company that owns The National Enquirer and Star, is expected to announce today that it will acquire the Globe Communications Corporation for $100 million in cash, said executives close to the deal. The price is five times Globe Communications' annual cash flow of about $20 million.

American Media is owned by Evercore Capital Partners, which is headed by former Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger C. Altman, who is a close friend of President Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton, arguably the first family not only of the country, but of the tabloid press. Mr. Altman had no comment about the deal yesterday...
