This is going to come back to haunt Obama, trust me.
dirty Chicago politics that went unnoticed in the national media.
This story of Patrick Daley feeding from the trough — or more properly, from the sewer — exemplifies the sweetheart deals that are typical of the
political environment in which Senator Barack Obama rose. It rounds out the story of how each member of the family of Obama’s Illinois Senate
mentor, Emil Jones, somehow manages to make big money from government salaries and contracts. It may evoke memories of the illegal pension-fund
manipulation that landed Obama’s fundraiser, Tony Rezko, in federal prison — or of the millions in corporate welfare that Obama, as a state
senator, showered upon Rezko and his other major donors in Chicago’s slum development business.

According to the documents obtained by Judicial Watch from the Illinois Secretary of State, Valerie Jarrett served as a board member for several
organizations that provided funding and support for Chicago housing projects operated by real estate developers and Obama financial backers Rezko and
Allison Davis. (Davis is also Obama’s former boss.) Jarrett was a member of the Board of Directors for the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment
Corporation along with several Davis and Rezko associates, as well as the Fund for Community Redevelopment and Revitalization, an organization that
worked with Rezko and Davis.
(According to press reports, housing projects operated by Davis and Rezko have been substandard and beset with code violations. The Chicago Sun Times
reported that one Rezko-managed housing project was “riddled with problems — including squalid living conditions…lack of heat, squatters and
drug dealers.”)
As Chief Executive Officer of the Habitat Company Jarrett also managed a controversial housing project located in Obama’s former state senate
district called Grove Parc Plaza. According to the Boston Globe the housing complex was considered “uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as
collapsed roofs and fire damage.
really, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to follow this trail of corruption, just in denial, to not see it.
