Chicago Tribune reporter John Kass is an old school journalist. He’s one among a cadre of Windy City reporters, most from the Sun Times and the Tribune, who routinely expose the hooligans and shenanigans of the Chicago Political Machine.
Kass says the national MSM ignored the political environment that gave birth to Barack Obama.
While Kass calls Obama “a Chicago political guy,” he knows the Machine is multi-layered. While the hub is Chicago, spokes extend throughout Cook County, and reach deep inside the state capital at Springfield.
Because the MSM ignored the Machine from which Obama emerged, the electorate didn’t realize that voting for Obama meant endorsing politics the Chicago way. Consequently, those outside Illinois knew little about the Machine, how it cleans up its messes, and how the clean-ups can impact individual lives. For example:
At 3:30 a.m., November 16, 2009, police found Michael Scott’s body face-down in downtown Chicago, partially in the Chicago River, in a hard-to-access location. He shot himself in the head with a handgun.
Scott had been a utility infielder for several Chicago mayors, serving on various public boards. Mayor Daley appointed him President of the Chicago Board of Education in 2001. The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) run under the Mayor’s control, all 40,000 plus staff members, and over 400,000 students. Arne Duncan’s job, before Obama appointed him the Secretary of Education, was CEO of the CPS. (By the way, the current CEO estimates a $900 million deficit for the CPS in 2010. Is a federal bailout coming?)

mmm mmm mmm
Need to start a score board.
I remember the list of scandals and deaths connected to Clinton, now the scandals and deaths connected to 0bama. Where were the scandals and deaths connected to GW Bush...Bush I...Reagan....?
Only three suicides and no murders...
Here’s a little reading for you. Feel free to connect dots and add to the findings at any time. You see there are three primary areas of corruption: mob/Daley CPUSA and Af-Am They seem to overlap and are in constant competition with each other sometimes pairing with another area against the third.....Obama seems to fit into all three.

This could be fun. Kinda like the old Clinton death list.
Didn’t the Communist Movement start in America via Chicago?
yeah right....Donald Young...wasn’t even counted. Guess gays don’t count in Chicago.
One to bookmark and add to the “Favorites”
Link at 5 has several incident of CPUSA. Axelrod first job was with a small community communist newspaper and another party member assisted his assent to the times...Also connections to other members in the WH inner circle....Sorry It’s not better organized.....
ALSO pay attention to what I call the Obama UN. LOts of first generation “business” people who are reported to have ties to the organized crime in their home countries. Hint alot of their names begin with A.
Speaking of the Clinton death list, I remember that there were some airplane “accidents” included in that list.
Wasn’t barry’s plane forced to make an emergency landing during the primaries?
I would have loved to have seen billary’s faces when they learned it touched down safely.
Much thanks for posting this.
As someone who is originally from Chicago, and who sold advertising for the Hyde Park-Kenwood Voices ( a paper that served Obama’s neighborhood) when I was 21, and hung around and attended U. of Chicago for years, all this stuff has
a distinct whiff of deja vu. It ALSO is almost indistinguishable from the revelations from Clinton’s early days in the WH, and what we called on FR, The Arkansas Mafia. See, it’s just a way of life to all of them: it’s largely what politics is ALL ABOUT for them—they don’t see it as corruption-—it’s only corruption when the “other side” does it.
Thanks, HM! :)
Cook County is more corrupt than a cesspool!
The Freddie Mac CFO suicide was dropped from MSM, never followed up on.
Yes it was.
“22 Apr 2009 11:18 am
The acting CFO of Freddie Mac has been found dead in his basement, an apparent suicide. He’s one of the executive team who has been clashing with regulators over how much to disclose about the ways the government has been running the company for its benefit, rather than that of the shareholders.
No final autopsy reported.
Donald Young and Lt. Harris are two murders they probably wouldn’t dare solve. Donald Young’s roommate is now afraid. Also, still isn’t allowed to go back and retrieve his clothes.
I meant to agree with you that it was dropped from the MSM. Sloppy posting on my part.
And Donald Young should be on any list of dead people related to this administration.
