More Skeletons Coming Out Of Obama’s Closet
It would seem as though Tony Rezko’s talking to federal investigators, something conventional wisdom in the media suggests will hurt officials in Illinois more than Obama, may actually have some very negative fallout for The One.
I’ve been screaming into the abyss for some time about Alexi Giannoulias, the Illinois state treasurer that Obama endorsed when he ran for office despite no previous political experience, who has been personally mixed up with organized crime via business dealings with his family’s bank. Well, guess what — this little nugget turned up in a column in the Chicago Sun-Times:
Sneed hears rumbles political fund-raiser/fixer Tony Rezko, who is now singing sweetly to the feds from his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, has been talking about his “dealings” with a Chicago bank, which has political connections.Now that’s throw away item in a political gossip column, so I would suggest taking it with a grain of salt. But if there’s any truth to it the odds that Rezko is singing about Giannoulias’ Broadway Bank are exceedingly high. If Giannoulias turns out to be in legal trouble again, there’s no way Obama can disatance himself like he has with Ayers. Giannoulias has been out raising lots of money for his campaign, and was even given a speaking slot at the Democratic convention in August.
So one of Obama’s campaign surrogates, a guy that Obama gave his personal endorsement to and who has been heavily involved in Obama’s campaign, may be mixed up with corruption and organized crime.
And where’s the media on this? They’re all busy trying to turn the “Troopergate" non-scandal into something that will damage Sarah Palin politically.
