SPRINGFIELD—The daughter of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Barack Obama’s former minister, was convicted by a federal jury Friday of laundering thousands of dollars from a $1.25 million state grant for a Chicago-based job-training program.

Jeri Wright said she would "definitely" appeal the verdict in U.S. District Court, which found her guilty of 11 counts that included money laundering, lying to federal agents and lying to a grand jury.

Conclusion: Clearly, the jury was racist.

Prediction: A Presidential pardon will be forthcoming.

“Is there anyone around Obama that has ever actually worked for a living?”

Not in the sense of WORK as I know it.

Isn’t that Rev. Al behind her?

Well it’s a Chicago-based job-training program no fines to ensue.
