Oh there is so much more to Ms. Jarrett, so much more. He Communist ties run long and deep. This is the tip of the iceberg. Whew, she has very dirty hands.

[mojitojoe]

Get the FCC guy, get Jarrett, and things might start looking up.

Michael Signator

Although his job description is to provide “supplemental security support” and to coordinate the Obama family’s personal and campaign schedules, Signator appears to be much more than an aide.

The relationship between Obama and Signator is one of the most highly guarded secrets in Washington and Obama’s home-base of Chicago. In fact, at first Obama officials denied that Signator worked for Obama...

_____________________
There has been some research done on him, even the MSM tried to find out more and all came up empty handed. I think he has more than a platonic friendship with obummer and he also may have been sighted tagging along on the trip to Rome. We need some serious investigating done on him and you will not find it on the internet. It was all scrubbed clean as soon as the MSM zeroed in on him. A couple of FReepers have done some investigating and found a few things, but it may take boots on the ground for him.

[mojitojoe]

Some have wondered if there is something ‘more’ to their relationship if you get my drift...lol.
___________
Bingo! Also he is supposedly watching(maybe living in) their Hyde Park home. He may have been sighted in Rome with them.

[mojitojoe]

Are you sure that is Signator in the top photo?

[mojitojoe]

They try some sh8t like that, they will regret it.

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

I think that we should give him a little help.

[STARWISE]

No I’m not .. comes from a site that doesn’t
confirm it’s he, however, he bears a resemblance
to the named Signator in the Excelon photo op to
me.

It could be but I think Signator has buggier eyes, but it's hard to tell. Do you think this is him, with the kid in Rome? The guy in the suit?

[STARWISE]

Signator's been kept WAY off limits, very secret and out of sight of press.

With one of the enemy's advance MIGs downed, pilot ejected, and all our fighters back safely, a post-mission de-brief back at the base:

Cognizant of it or not, IRONICALLY, AND THIS WILL DRIVE SENATOR OBAMA BONKERS, WE TOOK WHOLE SECTIONS OUT OF SAUL ALINSKY'S BOOK AND APPLIED IT WITH GREAT SUCCESS IN VAN JONES' CASE.

I wholeheartedly recommend we perfect these tactics and adopt them in the next cases: Mark, Cass, Valerie and the rest of the whole rotten statist, elitist crew in D.C. (and their replacements if they don't get the message the first time we, the People, are serious).

Sound familiar?:

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”

Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.

Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”

Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”

Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract (socialist organizations) or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

Val wasn’t mentioned in this thread.....but one has to wonder why...It’s real estate + ME...and would seem only logical that she knew the players and was involved:

Kelly King Dibble has a long time friendship with Michelle Obama from the time they both worked at the Chicago Planning Dept, and she also worked for Rezko. Dibble went on to head the Illinois Housing Development Authority under Governor Blagojevich, with Rezko help. Dibble also hosted a fund raiser for Obama. More on Dibble here.

Dibble also was mentioned during the Rezko trial by Ali Ata. Dibble was a regular visitor to Rezko’s office while heading the IHDA (which is based in Chicago). She also crossed Rezko when she refused to hire a Rezko relative.

Dibble later resigned from the IHDA in Jan 2007 to take a job with Northern Trust, and is now Senior Vice President Public Affairs. So if Northern Trust is asked about the loan, Dibble will be in charge of framing the answers.

Vacant land turns to gold for insiders - Buyers with clout cash in on parcels
Chicago Tribune (IL) - Sunday, November 20, 2005

Author: Ray Gibson and Robert Becker, Tribune staff reporters

EXCERPT

After entertaining proposals from a half-dozen builders, the city selected a developer, Historic Drexel Partners LLC, which ultimately built homes selling for between $800,000 and $915,000.

It is a company with close ties to Rezko. One partner is Michael Sreenan, a Chicago attorney who does corporation work for Rezko. The other partner in the venture is Andrew Dibble.

Dibble’s wife, Kelly King Dibble, is the executive director of the Illinois Housing Development Authority, a quasi-state agency charged with developing affordable housing. She had worked as vice president in charge of business development at Rezko’s company, Rezmar, before her appointment to the authority by Blagojevich.

Documents filed by Andrew Dibble with the city were faxed to City Hall using a fax machine in Rezko’s office. Sreenan, who said Rezko wasn’t involved in the project, added that since his office is in the same building as Rezmar, he frequently uses the company’s fax machine.

Shortly after Historic Drexel was sold the property, Andrew Dibble went to work for the state’s Capital Development Board, where he received $78,000 a year as the manager of construction. He has since left the post. His wife receives $137,000 a year at the housing authority.

Home prices escalated

In winning city approval, Sreenan and Dibble said the properties would sell for between $655,000 and $692,000. Sreenan said the prices escalated primarily because home buyers added upgrades for the new homes.

City officials said they selected Historic Drexel because it met the city’s specifications and because it offered $10,000 more than the parcels’ appraisal price.

“This set of respondents not only bid the most, but they offered to pay over the appraised value of the property. And there was no requirement for affordability,” Healy said.

But the Dibble bid wasn’t the highest. Another developer matched it, according to city records.

Historic Drexel’s project also had the support of Ald. Toni Preckwinkle (4th), who increasingly has tapped developers for campaign funds as parts of her ward rapidly gentrify.

Among her donors were Kelly King Dibble, Sreenan, the development’s architect and the contractor, who donated a total of $5,000 at an October 2004 fundraiser for the alderman.

“I supported the development,” Preckwinkle said of Historic Drexel. “I think the homes they built are beautiful.”

After Historic Drexel paid the city $275,000 for the six lots, it obtained a $3.3 million construction loan and built six new homes. One of the homes is the Dibble residence.

When the Dibbles went to record the sales price with the Cook County recorder of deeds, they declared they didn’t have to pay hefty real estate transfer taxes on the sale because they had paid less than $500 for the property and home, even though the couple paid $652,850, according to records.

After questions were raised by the Tribune, Andrew Dibble on Nov. 10 wrote city officials saying that while he had received initial legal advice not to pay a real estate transfer tax, subsequent legal counsel advised him to the contrary. Dibble now faces a transfer tax on the property of about $5,800.

“Many of us were able to introduce [Obama] in our workplaces,” says Alan S. King, a lawyer who studied for the bar exam with Michelle. “That expanded his base of support, raised his profile, and enhanced his fundraising efforts.”

“She (Valerie Jarrett) also reported $346,687 in income from serving on seven boards,
***including the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

Jarrett’s most lucrative fee as a director was $146,643 from Chicago-based USG Corp., a building products maker.”
