I don't know, but I think anyone who did know is dead or witness protection.

How did Barack Obama emerge from Chicago in 2008 untainted by political corruption? His rise to power began at the 2004 Democratic Party Convention when Illinois State Senator Barack Obama was catapulted onto the national stage by the alluring force of his oratory. Four years later, in December 2008, Rod Blagojevich, the fourth governor in recent Illinois history to be imprisoned, was arrested by the F.B.I. culminating a long investigation led by the U.S. Attorney (USA) in Chicago. “Blago’s” arrest came just as he was about to meet with someone to negotiate a bribe in exchange for appointing then-U.S. Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. to complete President Obama’s senatorial term.

Because the people that could are dead Jim.
Seems to me that the counterfeit birth certificate he has on the White House website SHOULD be the smoking gun, but no one seems to want to investigate that.
Has he avoided it?
Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy"About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition."

Fannie, Freddie spent millions on lobbyingRaines, the company's former chief financial officer, Timothy Howard, and former controller Leanne Spencer were accused in a civil lawsuit of manipulating earnings over a six-year period at Fannie. Raines was appointed by Clinton, after serving as White House budget director under Clinton.
Raines' predecessor, former Fannie Mae chief James Johnson, is a prominent Democrat who was an adviser to 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry and was selected by Obama to help vet his vice presidential prospects. But controversy over favorable loan deals he obtained with Countrywide Financial Corp., a bank seriously damaged by the mortgage meltdown decline, prompted him to abruptly resign that post in June.

What is this guy smoking?
“Avoided” ?????? taint of corruption. Huh?
At this point what difference does it make. That’s old news.
Mr. Cary should have changed the title to:
Names of ALL media that covered up political corruption of and by Barack Obama.
The Clinton War Room must be really ticked off...
President Jarrett?
Just stop that, Hillary! ;^)
Indeed. Obama’s entire phony career was a put up job by the DNC for the single purpose of fielding a sham candidate to front for their activities.
Oh he’s tainted alright. It’s just that the MSM doesn’t report on it.
The entire mainstream media protected him.
From not being even eligible to be President, forget natural born, no evidence he was born a citizen at all.
From revering communism and black nationalism, and all of his mentors being communists or terrorists
From the stories about his experiences with homosexuality after marrying Michelle
From the stories about hm smoking crack while being in public elected office
From the strange ways his opponents were eliminated from elective competition
From murders of some homosexuals close to him while he ran for President
From the suspicious timing of his grandmother’s death
The media never thought any of these things were important to even question about a man seeking the highest office of the land.
No the man has no past. He was a nobody prior to his election.
...and fast and furious; Clinton emailgate; Clinton’s ‘private phone’ that is government property....shall I continue????

I don't know, but I think anyone who did know is dead or witness protection.
ABC, NBC, PBS, CBS, CSPAN, New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, McClatchy Corp., News Corp., Fox News, CNBC, Canadian news, you name it. It is a systemic coverup since the newsies think they are king of the hill.
