Obama Advisor Valerie Jarrett Linked to Real Estate Scandals

Jarrett Managed Housing Project Deemed "Uninhabitable"

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents linking Valerie Jarrett, an advisor to Barack Obama and the co-chairman of the President-Elect's transition team, to a series of real estate scandals, including several housing projects operated by convicted felon and Obama fundraiser/friend Antoin "Tony" Rezko.

According to the documents obtained by Judicial Watch from the Illinois Secretary of State, Valerie Jarrett served as a board member for several organizations that provided funding and support for Chicago housing projects operated by real estate developers and Obama financial backers Rezko and Allison Davis. (Davis is also Obama's former boss.) Jarrett was a member of the Board of Directors for the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Corporation along with several Davis and Rezko associates, as well as the Fund for Community Redevelopment and Revitalization, an organization that worked with Rezko and Davis.

(According to press reports, housing projects operated by Davis and Rezko have been substandard and beset with code violations. The Chicago Sun Times reported that one Rezko-managed housing project was "riddled with problems -- including squalid living conditions...lack of heat, squatters and drug dealers.")

Looks like we now have The black Clintons. Which is why his version of “change!” is to use an almost totally Clinton cabinet.

"Like Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett is a product of the corrupt Chicago political machine.

Chicago politics is moving into the White House. Any takers on how long once he's in office until he pardons Rezko?

The more I think about it, the more I’m starting to feel that it was actually a blessing in disguise that McCain lost. First of all it re-validates what we conservatives said about McCain and his being a RINO and a lousy candidate.

But even more, I see the next 4 years revealing one scandal after another with the Obama administration. Just about everyone associated with Obama appears to be a crook or is, or was, involved in some type of shady operation. It’s only a matter of time before it all comes out in the open. So, for the next 4 years, let’s just sit back and enjoy the exposing of this crooked administration.

We can triumph again, as we did in 1980, as long as the GOP nominates a true Conservative. This open voting in the primaries has got to end. That’s how McCain got the nomination. The libs made sure we nominated our weakest candidate.
