Barack Obama & Chicago mob: next on Patrick Fitzgerald’s agenda?

Michael Sneed dropped a juicy hint in yesterday’s Chicago Sun Times.  To wit:

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.

A Chicago bank with “political connections”?  Hillbuzz makes the case that it’s Broadway Bank, formerly run by youngster Illinois State Treasurer and Obama banker Alexi Giannoulias who . . .

1. financed Chicago mobster Michael “Jaws” Giorango;

2. reportedly served as banker for Obama’s 2004 Illinois Senate campaign and made a subprime loan in 1996 to Barack Obama for the purchase of a Chicago townhouse; and

3. surprisingly, bumped Rep. Charlie Rangel out of the Dem Convention in July.

With such a cast of characters — including slumlord and key Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett — surrounding the current poll leader for the U.S. presidency, the White House, after four years, might just look like the dilapidated, federally subsidized Chicago tenements in this Boston Globe expose:

Rep, Barack Obama is just the guy to solve the nation’s mortgage crisis.  And the major media are transfixed with Sarah Palin’s failure to keep her husband on a tighter leash!

It is one thing to rub elbows with one mobster, on a one-time basis, or with one communist, or one Muslim terrorist, but Obama has a strangely exclusive standard for his long-term friendship. You have to be one of those.
You can’t just check your ethics at the door when you meet BO for dinner, because that means you had none before you got there, either.
Give the guy credit for consistency in his choice of pals.

The woman interviewed at Grove Parc asked what the landlords did with the money, since they did not do necessary repairs. Donated to Obama’s various campaigns seems to be one thing “they” did.
Former Grove Parc landlady,Valerie Jarrett, CEO of Habitat Co. and a former law firm associate of Obama’s, Allison Davis, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Barack “Acorn” Obama.
