A man who has long been dogged by charges that the bank his family owns helped finance a Chicago crime figure will host a Windy City fund-raiser tonight for Sen. Barack Obama.
Alexi Giannoulias, who became Illinois state treasurer last year after Obama vouched for him, has pledged to raise $100,000 for the senator's Oval Office bid.
Before he promised to raise funds for Obama, Giannoulias bankrolled Michael "Jaws" Giorango, a Chicagoan twice convicted of bookmaking and promoting prostitution.
Giannoulias is so tainted by reputed mob links ...
Giannoulias was the bank's vice president and chief loan officer for most of the more than $15 million in loans.

more than 30 companies were associated with one or both of the Stratievskys, who had more than $15 million in property.
Bankrolling many of their mortgages was Broadway Bank, owned by the family of Illinois state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias. From 2001 to 2005, before the men were charged, the bank lent more than $10 million to companies tied to Lev and Boris Stratievsky.

Interesting to say the least. Is this the same alleged tie as with the casino named in the Blago Subpoena?
His resentment runs so deep that he is willing to break laws, shred Constitutional mandates, and lie endlessly. Obama feels that he is owed and owed big. He hates America and damaging it for personal gain thrills him.
You just gotta shake your head to think how the MSM would be all over these and other past connections if he were a Republican.
Yes, the MSM is to blame for the state of America today. Had they not become totally politicized and undereducated through the Northeast propaganda machines called Colleges and Universities, we would have a vibrant, multicultured nation, caring about one another and about the next generation..Instead, we are on the verge of a Marxist revolution as they try to silence opposing voices.
Thanks george76.
Isn’t the Mafia something like a Democrat Party stockholder?
HEY TOMKOW you know you say in Canteen how about chicago RIGHT LOL!
Obama is one of many criminals involved in a Global criminal organization that is Marxist in nature. The Leftists are feverishly working to change our government before we can fight back in November.
This has all been long in the planning.
There's a sea-change in American society. People have become tolerant of many things but Americans are taking a stand.
Americans are rebelling against political correctness like never before and distrust the government more than ever.
Leftists didn't count on being so unpopular. They didn't count on the amount of outrage over ObamaCare.
They didn't count on the uprising of anti-government, anti-tax sentiment. The Leftists didn't count on us, on patriotism coming on as strong as after 9/11.
They will be stopped.
