We would like to point out a more serious, and potentially more explosive issue for Obama to bring up, appeared in one of the largest Italian daily newspapers “La Republica” on the eve of the Beijing Olympics, 7 August, 2008. The article, following up on articles that have been written in both the Los Angeles Times and in the Huffington Post, noted, among other things, that one of McCain's biggest financial supporters was involved in a quid pro quo with the Chinese. The Chinese awarded a lucrative casino license to America's third richest man, Sheldon Adelson in exchange for his calling Congressman Tom DeLay and quashing a bill to vote against giving China the 2008 Olympics.

The article is written in Italian, but, in short it in plain words links a huge financial backer of the Republican party ( and George Bush ), what Huffington called the Republican George Soros, to a corrupt agreement with the Communist Chinese to kill a vote in the US congress.

Of course in Italy we are used to this kind of behavior, but the “high road” of Obama should point out these obvious corrupt activities of John McCain supporters. Apparently, somebody in Louisana special Congressional election last spring already linked Adelson, the Chinese, and the Republican network of corruption, but perhaps Obama is too softheaded to point this out to a nation looking for change!
