Fundraising has been lackluster, though, as there is not much interest in helping to fund either the presidential library or the Obama’s new home since Chicagoans are feeling stabbed in the back that the Obamas are abandoning Illinois for the warmer clime of Hawaii; the general consensus is that Chicagoans are waking up to the fact that the Obamas have gotten everything they could out of Chicago and are now moving on to bigger and greener pastures. Kailua offers them all the fancy restaurants, the shopping, the golf, and other amenities they like plus the sunny weather they love and it’s closer to the Pacific and Middle East where Obama believes he’ll command the highest speaking fees as an ex-US president who’ll happily denounce America for years to come for paying foreign crowds, in much the way that Jimmy Carter has earned his living since 1981.

You might not realize this, but this is actually not the first time someone in Chicago has helped the Obamas buy a house beyond their financial reach: convicted felon and Chicago machine political “fixer” Tony Rezko helped the Obamas assemble the funding for the home they currently own in Chicago’s murder and robbery-prone neighborhood known as Hyde Park. Penny Pritzker is making aggressive use of the recent headlines about gunshots being fired and people killed just two blocks or so away from the Obamas’ Hyde Park home, with Pritzker saying, “You don’t want them moving back where there’s gunfire, do you? DO YOU?”.

There were a few threads on FR on Kevin's (Hillbuzz) article on the house in Hawaii that the Obama's would move into in January 2013.

Here's one: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2925740/posts?q=1&;page=51

I remebered hearing the Pritzker name but couldn't remember why. I did a little research (searched her name on bing.com), and here are a couple of the items I found:

According to Wikipedia, she's the finance chair of the Obama 2012 campaign and was considered for Commerce Secretary. "However, it was later reported that because of her involvement in the failure of subprime lender Superior Bank, Pritzker took herself out of the running." In addition, it states, "Pritzker is involved in the reform of Chicago’s public education system. Currently she is chair[12][13] of the Chicago Public Education Fund, the successor organization to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge."

In addition, "Accused of looting family trusts, Ms. Pritzker and cousins Tom and Nick were sued by cousin Liesel Pritzker and Matthew Pritzker who claimed fraud and sought damages in excess of $6 billion.[28] In early 2005, the parties settled the lawsuit which led to the family fortune being split 11 ways, resulting in 10 more Pritzkers joining the Forbes 400; the most members of any family.[29] Under the settlement, Liesel and Matthew each received roughly U.S. $280 million in cash and were given more control over other trusts valued at about U.S. $170 million each."

The ‘cherry on top’ of the affirmative action fraud run amok. He didn’t build anything in his life, was given every advantage, and still he hates America. May a tsunami claim him within days of his moving into the beach front estate.

Makes sense. Hawaii is a criminal enterprise as far as I can tell, at least the State AG, DOH, governor’s office, courts etc. seem to be. It appears that they have been handing out birth cert’s and citizenship to all comers for a long time.

DOH and courts won’t obey a court ordered subpoena from the mainland. If the zero family are there, they probably can’t get arrested or subpoenaed. I think they’re going there to hide out and avoid prosecution (not that Congress would do it).
