I know North Michigan Avenue quite well myself. I thought the Oak Street shopping happened after Barack was elected as senator.
I would be surprised if they were actually worth millions at that point because there was quite a lot of speculation as to how they could have ever afforded the pricey house in Hyde Park. That’s where Tony Rezko came in.
BTW, what corporate boards did Obama sit on? And, from what I understand, Obama was never even an adjunct professor of U of C. How much do non-tenured lecturers actually make?
The house in Chicago in deeded to a lawyer and appears to be held as investment property by his Family Trust Lots of legal and financial manipulation went on to keep the trust out of the public eye
I really have NO idea just how much wee barry got paid for the once a week, no show class he taught at the U of C, in SOCIAL JUSTICE, which he rarely even showed up to teach. Sorry about that; however, as I stated in an earlier post, that job DID allow both of his kids to go to Lab for nothing.
The house in Hyde park was bought with a GIGANTIC mortgage, which non of us would EVER get, from the bank that he sued and had hordes of South Side blacks picketing and beat into some nefarious submission re giving blacks mortgages that everyone KNEW would NEVER be repaid.
Rezko bought part of the backyard, because the price was still to high for the Obamas to raise. That whole thing was CORRUPT!
I don't remember all of the boards, now, off the top of my head, but yes, he and the MOOCH were on some.
