Feds and Rezko Piecing Together Ayers, Giannoulias and Obama
The Chicago Daily Observer ^ | October 13, 2008 | Editors

Posted on 10/13/2008 9:30:04 PM PDT by PBRCat

Tony Rezko used Alexi Giannoulias bank to float $450,000 in bad checks, while campaigning for Alexi’s brother Demetris to be placed on the Illinois Finance Authority Board.

Demetris Giannoulias was on the Board at the Crossroads Fund, a Chicago Based left wing organzation supported by Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Barack Obama, which made grants to such stellar organizations as ACORN and other affordable housing swindlers.

In 2002, Rezko borrowed $10.5 Million from Broadway Bank, the Giannoulias family bank, the same bank where Barack Obama kept his Senate campaign funds. In 2006, Sen. Obama endorsed Alexi Giannoulias for Illinois State Treasurer, and gives Sec. Giannoulias a slot to speak at the Democratic National Convention.

Glad to see all these upstanding folks able to work so well together, too bad that Rezko doesn’t want to serve time, and holds quite a bit of information about the Chicago Political Establishment that may be interesting to the Feds.

More concerning is the VP serving under Biden.

Hillary! Didn't Biden say she would have been a better VP than him?

Nobama is gonna have to spend 3-4 precious days off message explaining this mess to the masses.

He has already set aside time for 'splaining....he bought a 1/2 hour on NBC and ?CBS or ABC for all the 'splaining...

His handlers are fully aware that this will break...and he has been given the schedule as to WHEN it will break and he has calculated how much time he will need to 'splain it all away...

One can wonder if Trinity/Wright fit in the funding circle. Trinity United won't talk about the 10k sq. ft. home it is building for Wright or the financing.

Yes there is. Bob Woodward. Unfortunately, he only likes to expose sitting GOP Presidents, not ambitious, corrupt, power-hungry, Democrat Presidential hopeful politicians.

Take a report: Fitzgerald won’t do ANYTHING to embarrass Obama before the election. This whole drama is to delay the sentencing. Once Obama seizes power, Fitzgerald will be fired, and Rezko pardoned.

“....Fitz went after Bush/Cheney. He got Scooter instead. Still, he has “cred” with the left....”

I was mad as hell at the way Scooter was treated, however, if his mistreatment lends cred to Fritz in going after Obama and the Chicago MOB with the left, he just may be my new hero.

(Not likely, but it sounds good.)

Timothy McVeigh is executed while Bill Ayers gets promoted to professor. I don’t get it.

Could Obama/Ayers be hardwired (financially) to the Chicago mob?

Is the Pope Catholic?

“I WILL however be purchasing a large cigar if charges are filed on Obama as a result of Rezco’s singing to the feds.”

We'll all be celebrating that magnificent event should it come to pass.

(I think I'll just buy some special beer for the occasion)

Imagine an election where Obama wins but can’t show up for the swearing in ceremony, because he’s in jail.
Do we get to have a new election or does McCain get to be sworn in?

Maybe that’s the point of putting Fitz on it...so they are sure that it takes until spring.

Obama was on ANOTHER board with Ayers...and this time his wife, too? For two people that barely know each other they sure have a lot in common.

In the debate Senator McClain should tag every one of his replies with questions like “Do you know Tony Rezko?”, “Did you know that Odinga, a person you campaigned for in Kenya, was responsible for the murder of thousands of Christans?, “Were you responsible for giving $800,000 to ACORN?” or “Do you believe that a baby that survivess an abortion should be attended to?” Questions like these would at least make people aware of the many problems with his candidacy that are not coming out in the MSM and he could not be accused of being a racists.

Justice was served however since that obvious corruption cost Gore the presidency in 2000. Had Slimey resigned or been convicted I have no doubt Gore would have easily won.

Should Obama be indicted then elected he would still have to face the criminal prosecution. He might accomplish yet another first: the first president to serve from jail. Or he could pardon himself and stay in office.
