Believe it or not, just over the last few days since Blago’s arrest. Unfortunately, I’ve gone through so much info and research it would be hard to pinpoint references. But the info is out there. Most of it would come from seeing one name mentioned in connection with another, then matching that with Obama or cross-referencing the various names. Quite a few of the names also came from the case against Rezko. I have a feeling a lot of info has been scrubbed though because I would come across news about Blago and Obama (together) and the page would not be found. However, I would find other stories even older that would still be available.
PHOENIX, May I suggest you send it to Drudge, Rush, Foxnews: Oreilly, Greta, Hannity....Insist their researchers verify the information....That you are but a novice (wink wink)
Freepers lets’ get this information out!
(btw Have read similar materials trying to link Resco, Mrs. Blank-O and the Obamas...Your’s takes the cake!
There’s a great series of articles by Evelyn Pringle regarding Rezko, Obama, Blagojevich, and Operation Board Games. Left-wing websites have removed them, but some other websites have left them in place.

Hope you did a screen grab on those older pages, or otherwise saved the content in some reliable manner. They’ll be gone soon enough.
Also, I notice that you mentioned Myron M. “Mike” Cherry. He’s an attorney in Chicago with an office right across LaSalle Street from City Hall. Mike chain-smokes cigars so that he isn’t overwhelmed by the stench of corruption coming from across the street.
He’s got a four-foot stuffed animal — you know, like a children’s toy — in the lobby of his office. It’s a donkey. There’s a framed photo of Mike Cherry jogging with President Bill Clinton hanging on the wall.
You get the idea.
Mike donated $50,000 to Blagojevich’s campaign for the governor’s office in 2002. By some weird coincidence, Mike got a contract from the State of Illinois to investigate unethical practices in the insurance industry, much like Eliot Spitzer’s investigations in New York before he became governor of that state. Mike got millions of dollars in attorney fees from that contract.
Blago’s father-in-law is Dick Mell, a ward boss in the Cook County political machine. Mell is also a Chicago alderman. After it came to light that Blago was cheating on his wife, Dick Mell was quoted in the media as saying that Blago was in the habit of using people and throwing them away.
Mell also said that all you had to do, in order to get a million-dollar contract from the State of Illinois, was to donate $50,000 to Blago’s re-election campaign. Because he mentioned that specific dollar amount, I’m pretty sure that he was talking about Mike Cherry.

“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.
*snip*
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.”

“Earlier this year The Boston Globe reported on the stunning failures of Jarrett’s companies. “Jarrett is the chief executive of Habitat Co., which managed Grove Parc Plaza from 2001 until this [past] winter and co-managed an even larger subsidized complex in Chicago that was seized by the federal government in 2006, after city inspectors found widespread problems.”

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.)..”
