One of the more interesting questions bound to come up during the 2012 elections is whether President Barack Obama can reclaim the liberal American Jewish donor base that helped him so much in 2008.
...
Among noted Chicagoans who contribute to Obama's success is senior advisor Valerie Jarrett. Of the people managing President Obama's political affairs, Jarrett is perhaps the person Obama has known longest and relied upon the most. Political folklore has it that the president met wife Michelle when he went to Jarrett's office looking for a job.
Before Valerie Jarrett came to work for Obama, she was CEO of The Habitat Company, whose founder, Daniel Levin, developed Presidential Towers, an urban renewal project subsidized by federal tax-free bond debt.
Convicted former Chicagoan and U.S. Rep. Dan Rostenkowski helped the Presidential Towers developers dodge the federal requirement that a fifth of the apartment units be reserved for low-income renters.
Rostenkowski later accepted a generous plea deal from then federal prosecutor Eric Holder.
The Presidential Towers development defaulted on its $159 million mortgage but stopped foreclosure proceedings when Pritzker Realty Group stepped in.
Pritzker Realty Group acquired the failed development for the bargain basement price of $14 million, and sold the property in 2007 for roughly $470 million.
