Obama, Penny Pritzker, and a long list of bad advisers

By Erick Posted in 2008 — 

Obama really is a change from a typical politician, ain't he? He surrounds himself with Ms. Powers who calls Hillary names and undermines Obama's own policy stances. He surrounds himself with men like Reverend Wright who preach on the separation in this country between black and white and how white people want to infect black people with AIDS.

He's also surrounded himself with Penny Pritzker as his national finance chairwoman.

bama's national finance chairwoman, Penny Pritzker, was chairwoman of the board of a Chicago-area bank in 1993 when it adopted a subprime business strategy that regulators say ultimately led it to collapse in 2001.

Superior's board and managers "ignored sound risk-management principles and failed to adequately oversee Superior's operations," the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's (FDIC) Inspector General concluded in 2002.

I wonder what investment strategies she's chosen to keep his campaign well funded?

Of course, on the Democratic side, it's not just him.

Clinton's campaign manager, Maggie Williams, earned at least $175,000 serving from 2000-07 on the board of Long Island-based Delta Financial, which filed for bankruptcy last year after a history of high-cost loans to low-income borrowers, according to public records.

Yes, I do think at 3 a.m. we don't want either of these clowns answering the White House phone if these are the people they'll surround themselves with. As Machiavelli once said, we learn a lot about the competence of a leader based on who they chose as their advisers.

Um, the Pritzkers have been real estate industry scumbags for decades, the author of this piece is really lazy if the best he could come up with was the failed bank.

Just recently Penny Pritzker screwed several thousand people who bought into the Pritzker Group’s Baldwin Park project in Orlando. The best part is the Pritzker’s wined and dined the “New Urban” media people, journalists and what not, to get the Baldwin Park development listed as one of the greatest and most wonderful “New Urban” developments in the country. I’m pretty sure some of those journalists were given full air fare and vacation packages to Orlando area in return for favorable reviews of the Baldwin Park project.
