Obama and DNC Operations
Yesterday's revelation that Barack Obama is planning to move a large portion of the DNC operations to his home town of Chicago has set off all kinds of alarms.
This is disturbing on so many levels. Chicago is widely known for corrupt "Machine Politics" and stokes our worst fear that "The Chicago Machine" is going national. Four of the last seven Governors of Illinois have been indicted for corruption and an effort is already underway to impeach current Governor Blagojevich for activities uncovered during the trial of Obama's long-time fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko.
The Rezko trial has uncovered a complex network of cronies, and patronage -- and a shockingly large number of them have had relationships on some level with Barack Obama. Do we want the appearance, real or imagined, that these corrosive elements will be influencing our party at the most fundamental levels?
A good number of us already suspect that this has been taking place. Please contact Howard Dean and especially all representatives on the Delegate List in your state and tell them that you strongly oppose this move. Express your concern about the direction of the Democratic party.

Unfortunately, Dean already lost control of the DNC. I, too, was upset about the ramifications of moving the DNC to Chicago. It makes me wonder what all those people in the heirarchy of the democratic party might be thinking about that now that they turned their backs on the tried and true for the unknown. I don't think anybody saw that coming. Chicago, the capital of organized crime. Dean still has the title but no control. He is weak and still bitter about his bid anyway. -
You know, I thought that the Right was smart enough to let the Rezko Trial alone, but evidently not. See, the only REAL politician whose name came up for anything other than passing was a Assistant Sec of State from Illinois....a REPUBLICAN.

It seems that they are jumping the line considering that he hasn't been elected yet.
I am just curious as to how much Obama may have paid off Rezko to keep quite on, or lose what ever paper trail for their dirty dealings. Sometimes it all comes out in the end.
Something my son said a while ago, that these things have a habit of surfacing on or before the day of the elections. -
It is too bad that they do not come out before August. I think that it is terrible that Obama now thinks that he is the top honcho of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party actually lets him get by with it. It is so scary to think about even.

I have said from the beginning something is not not kosher with the Dems campaign ...something is not kosher about Obama's nomination.... somewhere, somehow this puzzle is going to unravel. I believe that Obama's nomination is fixed and that for him to win the nomination the dems conspired against Hillary. I also believe the truth will be revealed I am just praying that it happens before Denver.

Probably about the same amount of Money McCain paid Bennit to keep from going to jail for the Keating 5.
