I am starting to wonder about that. The Kennedy family has many ties to Chicago, the most notable is through the Shriver family. Chris Kennedy (son of Robert) is CEO of the Merchandise Mart. Sargent Shriver ran the MM in the 50's.
I think this might have been a long time coming would not be surprised if after peeling all of the layers back we might see a Kennedy hand in Obama's rapid rise. All part & parcel of the Chicago Way.
===========================
The Shriver Center (from their website)
Our Mission
"The mission of the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law is to provide national leadership in identifying, developing, and supporting creative and collaborative approaches to achieve social and economic justice for low-income people"
I imagine their victories are few. How funny, when it's the corrupt Kennedy family who is part and parcel of running the unfair, monstrous system in the first place.
