Rep. Jackson Said to Have Reported Blagojevich Request
Wash Post ^ | 12-17-08 | Peter Slevin, Kari Lydersen

Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) told federal investigators that Gov. Rod Blagojevich asked for a $25,000 campaign contribution during Blagojevich's 2002 run for governor and may have exacted retribution when the money did not arrive, a political source close to Jackson said Tuesday.

After Blagojevich (D) won, he considered and rejected Jackson's wife, Sandi, for the job of state lottery director, the source said.

Later, the governor saw Rep. Jackson at an event in Washington and, according to the source, told him he bet Jackson regretted not paying up.

Impeachment committee members remain uncertain what evidence U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald will share with them and when he will do so.

Committee Chairman Barbara Flynn Currie (D) said Fitzgerald has asked lawmakers to delay calling certain witnesses while the criminal case is underway.

So, knowing Blago's the perpetual deal maker, what did Obama have to fork over to get what he wanted when he was in the IL senate?

As I've said, for as embedded and long-standing these layers of corruption are and for as long as Obama played in this arena in IL, one would have to totally suspend all disbelief to think that he comes out of this pigpen smelling of gardenias.

Obama’s in it up to his eyeballs. But he and his backers have probably removed any paper trail. There may be witnesses, though.

Let the Chicagocide begin!

It already has..A year ago three young gay men were executed with gunshots to the back of their heads. They went to BO’s church. He knew two of them, one had even contacted BO shortly before he was murdered.

I wonder if any of the MSM liars who are repeating Jesse Jr.s’ tall tale about his innocence believe it?

If Rezko sings it’s all over for Hussein. Birds of the same feather flock together. The circumstances surrounding Hussein’s house purchase are extraordinarily unbelievable. The MSN completely covered this up. The London Times had a damaging story how this purchase came about. But the US press turned a blind eye. Now the exhumation of the skeletons begins.

Somehow, by some miracle, Barack Obama came up through the corrupt Chicago political machine, made it into the state Senate, then the U.S. Senate, and all the time was completely unaware of any unusual activity going on around him. Most of the people he associated with were crooks, but somehow he remained blissfully ignorant and untouched.

That's about the size of it.

There are several sources...Googled: Obama’s church + Gay men + Young + Execution

Here’s parts of one:

http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/members_of_obama_s_church_kill.html

Gay men from Barack Obama’s Chicago church have been murdered and their murders go unsolved. These men were murdered in 40 days of each other around November 2007 to December 2007, when Obama was running for president. One was Obama’s churches choir master, a man named Donald Young.

That is extremely disturbing that Barack Obama, a man running for president, has had murders in his church of gay males and their killings have gone unsolved.

...

The choirmaster was killed execution style in December. ...

Particularly liked this paragraph, but can't tell you which one it's from

To suggest that Sen. Obama was somehow involved in these murders is obviously a leap. However, one would imagine that if any other prominent citizen had been publicly accused of being a closet homosexual, then three gay men from their church were murdered in the months that followed, local law enforcement would have crawled up one of their excretive orifices with an entire forensics lab.
