A $100,000 state grant for a botanic garden in Englewood that then-state Sen. Barack Obama awarded in 2001 to a group headed by a onetime campaign volunteer is now under investigation by the Illinois attorney general amid new questions, prompted by Chicago Sun-Times reports, about whether the money might have been misspent.
The garden was never built. And now state records obtained by the Sun-Times show $65,000 of the grant money went to the wife of Kenny B. Smith, the Obama 2000 congressional campaign volunteer who heads the Chicago Better Housing Association, which was in charge of the project for the blighted South Side neighborhood.

Huh-huh-huh... he said, "Probed"...
Hey this might be the tiny crack in the wall that is needed to get the truth out about this creep. There is a comments section below the article. Let these writers,CHRIS FUSCO AND DAVE MCKINNEY, know what you think of the article. Maybe it might be the start of something bigger.

Thanks. I have never heard that.
what do you know and when did you know it?
Ping.
Speaking of writing books like Obama does, there is a project in Chicago to get minorities to write books about themselves with the promise that it will get published. I wonder if Obama’s books are part of that project?
YA THINK??????????
I’ll be sure to tune in to CNN and MSNBC when I get home tonight to get the latest updates on the investigation.
Obama is a fine example of a Cook County Illinois Democrat doing what he does best.
Bill Cunningham, “A great American” of WLW radio in Cincinnati, OH says it best,
“At some point in the near future the media, the stooges from the New York Times, CBS (The Clinton Broadcasting System), NBC (The Nobody But Clinton Network), The All Bill Clinton Channel (ABC), and the Clinton News Network at some point is going to peel the bark off Barack Hussein Obama,” said controversial conservative commentator Bill Cunningham, an Ohio native.”
If it happens it will be after he’s elected. Early voting starts in FIVE DAYS in Ohio, and many are voting early because of the last election. If this kind of news were going to be exposed in time to sway voters, it should have broken by now.
Too late.
Wow. The Sun-Times columnists are almost all in the tank for Obama. This is surprising - and good to hear.
Man’s got a green thumb.

Israeli intelligence has the goods on Obama. IMHO, a few phone calls from on high were made to some of the owners of those papers.
MSM: "BREAKING NEWS!!!"
(2) Obama gives a $100,000 taxpayer earmark for his own campaign official, who that official's wife STEALS.
MSM: "YAWN"
Bias? What bias?
