Yes, it seems he never actually knew anyone in Ci-cago although he lived and rose to power there.

After what Rev. Jackson said about Obama during the primaries, I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama would leave JJ, Jr. out in the cold, while protecting his own.

No, I wouldn't be surprised at all. The election's over, the prize is won, and the useful idiots will find themselves kicked to the curb.

"Obama is not related to the corruption pattern in Chicago," said political scientist Dick Simpson of the University of Illinois in Chicago.

Right that is why Rezko got 0bama a sweetheart deal on his mansion and bought the side lot over market value because 0bama couldn't afford both the house and the lot.

Isn't William Ayers a professor in good standing at UIC?

I must say that I am surprised to discover that Dick Simpson is NOT among the 4,000 names on the Bill Ayers support petition.

President-elect Barack Obama's decision to keep a distance from his state's governor, who was arrested on corruption charges on Tuesday, should enable him to escape becoming tainted by the scandal, analysts said.

Ha! The lapdog media spinning madly for Obama is what will save his corrupt butt, just as they did for the Clintons. This profession has no credibility anymore. Journalists are nothing more than a bunch of liberal, partisan political hacks who don't even hide that fact anymore.
