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.
Smith wrote another $20,000 in grant-related checks to K.D. Contractors, a construction company that his wife, Karen D. Smith, created five months after work on the garden was supposed to have begun, records show. K.D. is no longer in business.

If I was this attorney general, I’d be watching my back. Hopefully, he’ll only be labeled as a “racist.”

Keep the community organizer out of the White House
Somebody needs to photo shop a poster from “The Untouchables†movie and put Obambam face on it, because he truly is untouchable as far as the MSM is concerned.
Well, the media won’t touch mohammed cartoons so it’s mot surprising that they would not question the 12th Imam.
We shouldn’t be finding fault with the Great One on Eid al-Fitr, a Muslim holiday—we should be sending Barry best wishes for a Happy Eid al-Fitr.
“Good Lord, $100k for a “botanical garden” in a “blighted south Chicago neighborhood.””
Pot plants?
I’m sure they will investigat it as thoroughly as they did the State Grants to Rezko and the earmark he tried to get for his wife’s employer, right after he was elected to the Senate and right after they gave her a 300K raise.
I was thinking Jeremiah Wright might be the real baby daddy of Obama’s kids./s Thought I would just throw a rumor out like the left does with Palin. Made me feel better.
