Illinois State Senators Rickey Hendon and Donnie Trotter and Representative Connie Howard were all former colleagues of Barack Obama in the Illinois General Assembly (state legislature) in Springfield, Illinois.
All were African-American legislators from Chicago. Hendon and Howard have since resigned from office. Howard accepted a bureaucratic post, but resigned once the investigation developed. Hendon resigned suddenly once rumors about the investigation surfaced.

I’m surprised Eric Holder hasn’t intervened to quash the investigation. These are buddies, after all.

“-—two have ties to Obama-—” AW, c’mon. I got a cold case here that says they all have ties to the Kenyan. Seems like they were all country cousins of Odumbo and were all working on funding their golden parachutes. The guys awarding these grants need to be up on the same charges and we know dammwell that a bunch of this money was making it back to democrat political campaigns-——just waiting for the rest of the story.

Here is the missing link.
Many of them are involved in the Healthcare industry.
With a little snooping, I bet it points directly at SEIU.

Good time to start World War III, maybe somewhere in the middle east. Libya, Egypt, oh, oH, I GOT IT! How about Syria! That’s the ticket!
