Google Emil Jones and Barack Obama. Yikes.
There have certainly been a LOT of very questionable people pushing this man toward a leadership position and using big bucks to do so. I don’t like this at all.
Yikes is right.
But Obamao’s cult will only think more of him.
Yikes is right!!

We should have paid attention to those Hillary supporters.
So how has Obama repaid Jones?
Last June, to prove his commitment to government transparency, Obama released a comprehensive list of his earmark requests for fiscal year 2008. It comprised more than $300 million in pet projects for Illinois, including tens of millions for Jones's Senate district.
Shortly after Jones became Senate president, I remember asking his view on pork-barrel spending.
I'll never forget what he said:
"Some call it pork; I call it steak."
