It is enough that the people know there was an election.
The people who cast the votes decide nothing.
The people who count the votes decide everything ....Joseph Stalin

The rest of America is just beginning to learn how Cook County politics works. Barack Obama learned his lessons well. He said as much when he let slip his real views: that politics is about "rewarding friends" and "punishing enemies."
As president, Obama seems to be busy "rewarding" his home town pals at taxpayer expense. The giant slush fund known as the "stimulus" has been a rich source of payoffs that extend far beyond mega donors such as George Kaiser and his Solyndra investment. The stimulus fund has also been a honey pot to send money to personal pals of Barack and Michelle.
One way he has found to funnel money to friends is through the fraud and waste-ridden weatherization program. This was a Van Jones approved program to help employment in minority communities. People would be hired from those communities to weatherize homes in poorer communities.
The program has been, surprise, a big loser for taxpayers. But for Obama's pals back in Chicago. Not so-they came out winners.
Amanda Carey reports at the Daily Caller:

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Obama the scandal free President. Bwahahahahahaha.
Everything Obama is involved in is touched by fraud and corruption. We know he is the epitomy of evil but nothing will be done about it.
The most I can hope for is to see him perp walked out of the WH.
If they ever really dig into where the stimulus dollars went there won’t be enough ink (or pixels) to describe all the fraudulent behavior.
Note: My new tagline is the only answer to this nonsense. The only answer. Not even jail time would be as effective.
Not just Chicago. Here’s one started with a $500,000 “grant” from our tax money.
sickening ping
I’d like to hear the kenyan say “I’m no crook”, as they frog march him off to prison one fine day. Impeachment is not good enough. This guy and all the friends he welcomed aboard are mostly criminals.
OMG....BO is an expert on organizing corruption!
Who knew? Not the voters in 2008.... thanks to the slobbering mainstream media!
OMG.....Obama Must Go in 2012!
The list of scandals goes on and on!
He is the epitome of corruption..
He and his ilk are almost too busy to keep up with.
