Mona Charen PING!
KHQA TV in North Korea, Ill.,
I can’t decide which is more alarming- that Obama’s “people” have a station remove published articles, or that the station is self-censoring to please the Messiah-Elect.
Look it up.
What a coincidence. I keep hearing someone singing tingle bells! It must be Christmas!
Beautiful!
Tingle bells, tingle bells
Tingle all the way
Oh what fun it is hear
That Glabo’s gone away.
LOL!!
so now he throws the governor under the buss. wonder why it needs wheels anymore...
All these Illinois politicians are going to be able to REORGANIZE the federal community prison system from within.
John, there was another thread on FR yesterday that pointed to an article about Blago and Obama meeting in Chicago at the office of a campaign contributor to both of them. It was like a 4 hour meeting, and Obama returned to his office around 5:30 p.m.
I tried to locate that thread yesterday evening but couldn’t find it in my browser history for some reason. It was far more specific than the two Quincy, IL TV articles were.
Obama Grant Being Probed
http://www.suntimes.com/news/watchdogs/1184049,CST-NWS-watchdog25.article
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.Attorney General Lisa Madigan — a Democrat who is supporting Obama’s presidential bid — is investigating “whether this charitable organization properly used its charitable assets, including the state funds it received,” Cara Smith, Madigan’s deputy chief of staff, said Wednesday.In addition to the 2001 grant that Obama directed to the housing association as a “member initiative,” the not-for-profit group got a separate $20,000 state grant in 2006.Madigan’s office has notified Obama’s presidential campaign of the probe, which was launched this week. But Obama’s actions in awarding the money are not a focus of the investigation, Smith said.
As Lincoln rolled over in his grave he yawned and said,
"Corrupt Chicago Democrats are nothing new. Wake me up when they change their behavior."
