Feel the change!

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.

Obama realizes the media is in the tank for him. Now he is flaunting his criminal past, and no one knows, and those that do are labeled racists.

Quite the Ponzi scheme...

And the President-Elect is also tied to Rezko, and tons of other nefarious creatures, yet that didn’t matter.

Right now is the time to focus on cleaning out the GOP leadership of its dead weight, and focus on the ‘10 elections.

The second time in my lifetime that the White House will be run as a criminal conspiracy, only worse this time. Just great!

Scary sidenote: This is the same advisor that said, "Obama will be ready to take power and RULE on day one."

We just KNOW Obama is connected to all this as well.

I hope these are at least couple Repubs left that will make enough noise to sure OB has to at least pick a new cheif of staff.

There should be a inquiry too.

Woodlawn?!? Holy... That's a Black Hole for investor money if there ever was one. Saying you live in a 'slum' in Woodlawn is actually a GOOD thing!

Donald Trump could build a Ritz in Woodlawn and in two weeks HE'D be a 'slumlord'.
