There was a LOT of speculation recently about what the White House Insider was referring to when he said a huge scandal was brewing, and "The White House is -expletive- itself over this stuff."
White House Insider: "President Obama is lost. Absolutely lost."
I am now sure the "Insider" is legitimate, and he was referring to Shorebank-gate!
I googled SHOREBANK along with each of the names the insider dropped on us: "Go back and review Blagojevich. Go back and review Rezko, Barton, Stern, Giordano, Carothers, Jarret."... and I can see they are all linked to SHOREBANK
I am sure there must be many, and better smoking gun links, but here is a smattering of smoldering links I found to these people while researching this...

In Stand Up Straight, Robert Creamer gives progressives practical insights, tools, and analysis to work smarter. It will hopefully inspire more people to act and help more people to act effectively.

...where STERN is related to Creamer (and Shorebank)... http://romanticpoet.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/crime-inc-and-shore-bank-rep-jan-schakowsky-and-shorebank-new-evidence-of-conflict-of-interest/

... The New York Times confirms that Rep. Schakowsky played a leading role in the ShoreBank bailout. Yet ShoreBank is not based in Rep. Schakowsky’s congressional district, and she did not help the Bank of Lincolnwood–which is in her district, and failed in 2009–or Park National Bank, which was also active in community development in Chicago until it was closed by federal regulators last year.
...
Now, court documents that I have obtained reveal that ShoreBank was one of several banks that Rep. Schakowsky’s husband, Robert Creamer, used in the check kiting scheme for which he was convicted and sentenced to federal prison in 2006.

...incumbent Jan Schakowsky and her felon husband Robert Creamer may have played an integral part in scheming Obama’s government health care takeover.
Pollak points to a political strategy book Creamer wrote while in Terre Haute’s federal prison, and connects to Obama political director David Axelrod’s praise for Creamer’s ideas. Pollak writes:
...
...While in prison—or “forced sabbatical,” he called it—Creamer wrote a lengthy political manual, Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win (Seven Locks Press, 2007).
The book was endorsed by leading Democrats and their allies, including SEIU boss Andy Stern—the most frequent visitor thus far to the Obama White House—and chief Obama strategist David Axelrod, who noted that Creamer’s tome “provides a blueprint for future victories.”

...oh, and NOTE this: In 2000, Barton moved to Chicago, changed his name to John Thomas, and went undercover for the U.S. Attorney in Chicago.
...
He [Barton/Thomas] also charged more than $140,000 to an American Express business account he obtained using his father’s Social Security number.
...
...HEY! that sounds familiar... Hussein ALSO uses a 'retired' SSN (from someone born in 1890)!
...
and by the way, how does a U.S. president in 2009, collect a salary of $374,054 from the tax-payers, AND another $1,617,268 from FOREIGN SOURCES during the same year? (I smell a conflict of interest!)
... I wonder where Hussein's trust keeps his millions? Shorebank?
If that bank failed, and Hussein had MILLIONS of his own cash in it, he would lose all but the FDIC guaranteed $100,000, right?
