Report: Jackson Backers Sought Cash For Obama Post

WCBSTV ^

[kcvl]

Raghuveer Nayak, the campaign crony who has dumped tens of thousands of dollars into the campaign pockets of Aurora Mayor Tom Weisner and Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, seems to in a race to compete with another star campaign donor from Illinois, Tony Rezko, to see how many people he can contribute to and apparently “influence.”

While Rezko’s list includes some power names in Illinois, including our local political rockstar, U.S. Senator and Presidential candidate Barack Obama, Nayak seems to be broadening his geographical reach (and Nayak is a Hillary Clinton buddy).

We’ve learned Raghuveer Nayak, the “secret” owner of the old Copley Hospital site in Aurora and mysteriously finds himself in the above picture with then-candidate Tom Weisner and boytoy Gerry Galloway at a downtown property that would be in the path of a major development, has dumped $25,000 in Iowa.

I truly hope Obama, Blagojevich, Daley, Jackson and the rest of that nasty lot all get what's coming to them for their crimes against the Americans they are supposed to be serving and representing.

I can only imagine that most (if not all) of the "cash" being shuffled around by these Chicago gansters is probably taxpayer money.

LOL.

No kidding.

Did you see that ridiculous press conference he hosted?

[montyspython]

Sounds exactly like his old man.

Is it me, or have we had far less Zer0 over the past couple of days?

I know he did brief pressers over the past few days naming a cabinet member and claiming he had no knowledge the City of Chicago even existed, but we lived so many weeks now with the MSM preaching minute by minute, "What is the President Elect going to do" about every issue - bailouts, economy, world affairs, you name it.

Now it seems we have quickly gone back to having one President.

"Businessman" Raghuveer Nayak w/ ties to JJJ...... and Blagojevich aide Rajinder Bedi.......told attendees at an Oct. 31 meeting that they needed to raise a $million for Gov Hot Rod to ensure Jackson's appointment.

You should all be ashamed of yourself for thinking this is (shudder) official bribery.

(Sniffle) The beauty part of this is that these individuals are so altruistic (sob) so pure and UNDEFILED, that they expect NOTHING in return.

Did you not see JJJ tell the world that he, himself, is purity personified?

Quick, somebody gimme a kleenex........(bawl)....

An unidentified source attended a Oct 31 meeting sponsored by Oak Brook
"businessman" Raghuveer Nayak........w/ Blagojevich in attendance. The
source told the Chi/Trib that Nayak AND Blagojevich aide Rajinder
Bedi told attendees a $million to the Governor would ensure JJJ got Obama's Senate seat.

" I been in Congress 13 years. My earmarks totaled $231000 as of 6/1/07.
There's plenty more where that came from IF they make me Senator.
I also told them guys to dump all the unsold Obama DVD's and to start
pushing my poster."

"Pure as the driven snow.......no one in Chicago even comes close."
