I hear a lot of Democrats trying to excuse Obama from any involvement. No one is saying that Obama was involved (although Obama’s outright denial of even talking with the governor seem un-credible), but there does exist a culture of corruption in Chicago politics that stretches WAY back.

And Obama comes from it. Tony Rezko anyone?

At least as far back as when Democrat bosses Mike "Hinky-Dink" Kenna and "Bathhouse" John Coughlin ran the city wirh then syndicate Don "Big Jim" Colosimo.....years before Capone, mind you.
