That is the lamest "shady deal" story I have heard, since "Whitewater".
Obama bought land from the guy, 1/6 of a lot, and he paid 1/6 of what the guy had paid, even though that was almost 3 times the appraised value.
It's like Obama is bribing the lobbyist.
When I heard that stupid Whitewater crap, that a deal where the Clintons lost $5000 was being investigated, I knew it was bullshit, which it was, because in real crooked stuff, the crooks end up with the money or 10% of a baseball team.
