Obama Clean, or a Part of “The Machine?”
I recently started reading the book The Case Against Barack Obama by David Freddoso. I am learning about the Chicago Political Machine and how Barack Obama used the system to further his career and how Machine operatives paved the way for Barack Obama. All the while, “Mr. Reformer” Obama did nothing to expose the proven corruption of these operatives who enabled his meteoric rise. Now I am seeing The Machine be (hopefully) disassembled, and it will be interesting to have confirmed in the weeks to come how closely Obama is tied to these cretins…
Illinois Governor Arrested on Corruption Charges
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his chief of staff John Harris were arrested Tuesday morning in Chicago on two counts each of federal corruption charges stemming from allegations Blagojevich was trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s vacated Senate seat to the highest bidder.
The arrest is part of a three-year probe of “pay-to-play politics” in the governor’s administration. The criminal complaint by the FBI says each man was arrested on two charges of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery.
The charges also relate to allegations that Blagojevich and Harris schemed with previously convicted defendants and Obama associates Antonin Rezko, Stuart Levine, Ali Ata and others to arrange financial benefits in exchange for appointments to state boards and commissions, state employment, state contracts and access to state funds.
