A rich man becomes a politician and the media is keenly interested in the source of his wealth and his tax returns.
A politician becomes a rich man and the media is keenly interested in his awesome new house.
Will the deed for this crib be in his or the Mooch’s name? The house on 52nd and Greenwood in Chicago, guarded by the US Secret Service, wasn’t. The deed was titled to a Cook County judge and two members of the first law firm that he worked for, if I remember correctly.
It definitely wasn’t in his name though, according to the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.
It never ceases to amaze me how so many "men of the people" become so rich off of their dedication to the cause, yet remain admired by the left: Fidel Castro, Yasser Arafat, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Bill Clinton and now Barrack Obama.
Feel free to add to the list
That is a terrific post!
