But here is an interesting tidbit concerning Strautmanis, in Jarrett's own words: Obama describes him as a “utility man,” and campaign advisor and Obama family friend Valerie Jarrett says he’s the person you call when you need help with a delicate situation. “He understands the importance of the personal touch and that e-mails and phone calls are not always appropriate,” she said, talking about a specific example that she wouldn’t describe in detail…

Sounds like "The Wolf" in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction".

Our only hope is that these Chicago thugs are used to getting their way, and only now, faced with some real opposition that they have never experienced in one-party Illinois, they may fold like cheap seats.

Did you see the other man writer mentioned on same url?
http://www.examiner.com/x-3704-Columbia-Conservative-Examiner~y2009m9d5-The-powers-behind-the-throne

I didn’t include him because writer did not establish a direct connection to Jarrett (although I can’t imagine how there can’t be)

And now meet an Obama mystery man that the campaign staff didn’t even know existed. In fact, nobody knew what he looked like. His name is Michael Signator.

Michael Signator, a 50-year-old police officer in suburban Chicago, is paid as one of Barack Obama’s campaign staffers — nearly $50,000 during Obama’s Senate campaign in 2004; and $47,600 from March 2007 through August of this year — yet no one knows what he looks like, and even Obama staffers didn’t know he works for the campaign.

So just who is Michael Signator?

Although his job description is to provide “supplemental security support” and to coordinate the Obama family’s personal and campaign schedules, Signator appears to be much more than an aide.

The relationship between Obama and Signator is one of the most highly guarded secrets in Washington and Obama’s home-base of Chicago. In fact, at first Obama officials denied that Signator worked for Obama...until it became clear that he was Obama’s driver and bodyguard during the campaign. But the extent of Signator’s activity on behalf of Obama is murky.
