Nesbitt is one of Barack Obama’s closest friends...During the 2008 presidential campaign, Nesbitt became Obama’s campaign treasurer.

...

Nesbitt started The Parking Spot, a lucrative airport satellite-parking company that is recognizable from its large yellow buses covered with black spots. Nesbitt started the company with financial backing from Penny Pritzker, the CEO of Pritzker Realty Group. Nesbitt later introduced Pritzker to Obama, and she became Obama’s 2008 national fundraising chair.

I won’t be using the “Parking Spot” at airports anymore. For real.

Nesbitt must be the token Obama team member with experience in business.

Courting Chicago’s well-known wealthy Pritzker family paid off big for the man who would become president. It was fellow Chicagoan and long-time Obama friend Martin Nesbitt who introduced Obama and Pritzker.

Not ironically, it was Pritzker money that financed Nesbitt’s successful startup of The Parking Spot.

As President Obama’s national finance chairwoman for Obama’s 2008 campaign, Pritzker raised a record $750 million through her deep roots in the Chicago donor community.

Small world.
