Michelle Obama Is The “Specifically Named Individual” On Page 64 of The Affidavit Submitted by FBI
By Truthteller on December 9, 2008 at 6:37 PM in Barack Obama, Chicago, Chicago politics, Corruption, Michelle Obama, Obama Comrades, Obama Family, Obama's Thugs, Patrick Fitzgerald, Richard Daley, Tony Rezko, US Senate, Valerie Jarrett
Please read the Criminal Complaint filed by David W. Cain, Special Agent of the FBI. Details of the conversations Blagojevich had with his operatives about Barack Obama and the possibility Barack Obama would strike several deals with Blagojevich regarding the open Senate seat are discussed, and yes, quotations are provided.
I enjoy this gem from pages 63-64, where a telephone conversation between Blagojevich, Advisor B, a political consultant in Washington, DC, another Washington, DC, political consultant and John Haris, the Governor’s General Counsel, is discussed:
ROD BLAGOJEVICH said that the consultants (Advisor B and another consultant are believed to be on the call at that time) are telling him that he has to “suck it up” for two years and do nothing and give this “motherfucker [the President-elect] his senator. Fuck him. For nothing? Fuck him.” ROD BLAGOJEVICH states that he will put “[Senate Candidate 4]” in the Senate “before I just give fucking [Senate Candidate 1] a fucking Senate seat and I don’t get anything.” (Senate Candidate 4 is a Deputy Governor of the State of Illinois). ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that he needs to find a way to take the “financial stress” off of his family and that his wife is as qualified or more qualified than another specifically named individual to sit on corporate boards. According to ROD BLAGOJEVICH, “the immediate challenge [is] how do we take some of the financial pressure off of our family.” Later in the phone call, ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that absent getting something back, ROD BLAGOJEVICH will not pick Senate Candidate 1. HARRIS re-stated ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s thoughts that they should ask the President-elect for something for ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s financial security as well as maintain his political viability. HARRIS said they could work out a three-way deal with SEIU and the President-elect where SEIU could help the President-elect with ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s appointment of Senate Candidate 1 to the vacant Senate seat, ROD BLAGOJEVICH would obtain a position as the National Director of the Change to Win campaign, and SEIU would get something favorable from the President-elect in the future.
Senate Candidate 1 is Valerie Jarrett, an Obama advisor who also served as Daley’s Chief of Staff. Jarrett is very close to the Obamas. Senate Candidate 4 is either Dean Martinez, Bob Greenlee or Louanner Peters, all of whom are Deputy Governors of Illinois.
The “specifically named individual” is Michelle Obama, who was appointed to the Board of TreeHouse Foods, a WAL-MART vendor, on June 25, 2005, even though she did not have experience in the private sector previous to the appointment. Here are the benefits the Obama family received as a result of Michelle Obama’s stint with the WAL-MART vendor:
According to the couple’s tax returns, Mrs Obama earned $51,200 (£25,700) for her work as a non-executive director on Treehouse’s board last year, on top of the $271,618 salary she was paid as a vice-president of the University of Chicago Hospitals.
She also received 7,500 Treehouse stock options, worth a further $72,375, as she did the previous year, when she banked a $45,000 salary from the company.
Michelle Obama is the “specifically named individual” who was able to sit on corporate boards, although she lacks the experience of Blagojevich’s wife. And notice how Michelle Obama’s position with the WAL-MART vendor helped alleviate the “financial stress” of the Obama family at a time when they were purchasing a mansion from Rezko they could not afford.
Why is this relevant?
Blagojevich, according to the FBI complaint, thought Barack Obama could appoint his wife to corporate boards if he were to appoint Valerie Jarrett to the open Senate seat vacated by Obama. I quote pages 54-55 of the criminal complaint filed by Special Agent of the FBI David Cain:
By law, after the President-elect’s resignation of his position as a U.S. Senator, which was effective on November 16, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH has sole authority to appoint his replacement for the two years remaining of the President-elect’s Senate term. See 10 ILCS 5/25-8. During the course of this investigation, agents have intercepted a series of communications regarding the efforts of ROD BLAGOJEVICH, JOHN HARRIS, and others to misuse this power to obtain personal gain, including financial gain, for ROD BLAGOJEVICH and his family. In particular, ROD BLAGOJEVICH has been intercepted conspiring to trade the senate seat for particular positions that the President-elect has the power to appoint (e.g. the Secretary of Health and Human Services). ROD BLAGOJEVICH has also been intercepted conspiring to sell the Senate seat in exchange for his wife’s placement on paid corporate boards or ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s placement at a private foundation in a significant position with a substantial salary. ROD BLAGOJEVICH has also been intercepted conspiring to sell the Senate seat in exchange for millions of dollars in funding for a non-profit organization that he would start and that would employ him at a substantial salary after he left the governorship.
Blagojevich, in other words, assumed Obama would appoint his wife to a Board for the political favor of selecting Valerie Jarrett for the Senate seat. Blagojevich is not a stupid man. Indeed, he only assumed Obama would participate in this “pay to play” scheme, for he knows Obama is acutely aware how the game is played in Illinois and in Chicago. This explains why Blagojevich mentions Michelle Obama and her lack of qualifications to serve on the Board of TreeHouse Foods when he discusses how Obama could appoint Mrs. Blagojevich to a Board for the political favor of appointing Jarrett to the US Senate seat. Michelle, after all, was appointed to sit on the Board of TreeHouse foods AFTER Obama was elected to the US Senate. Moreover, Michelle Obama’s salary at The University of Chicago nearly TRIPLED after her husband gained the power to submit earmark requests on her employer’s behalf. Just appoint the spouse to a Board and increase his or her salary if you need a political favor from an Illinois politician. That is how the “play to pay” game is played.
Blagojevich understands this, and he knows Obama understands this. Why else does FBI Agent Cain report the following discussion that occurred on Nov 8, 2008?
On November 8, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH talked with JOHN HARRIS about the Senate seat. During the conversation, ROD BLAGOJEVICH and HARRIS discussed whether it would be possible to obtain a financial benefit for ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife in relation to the Senate seat. Specifically, ROD BLAGOJEVICH referred to his wife’s Series 7 license and asked “is there a play here, with these guys, with her” to work for a firm in Washington or New York at a significantly better salary than she is making now. Also, ROD BLAGOJEVICH wanted to know whether SEIU could do something to get his wife a position at Change to Win until ROD BLAGOJEVICH could take a position at Change to Win.
Michelle Obama, Blagojevich implies, received an appointment to a Board for which she was not qualified as a result of a “pay to play” scheme. What about his wife? After all, Obama ally Valerie Jarrett wants the Senate seat. What about Blagojevich’s wife? What about Blagojevich’s “financial stress?”
Blagojevich and his advisers only thought of this as a possibility, for they know Obama has already played the game. Again, these are smart men who know the rules of the game. Why else would they think Obama would participate in a “pay to play” scheme? Michelle was paid for someone to play, they thought. What about Mrs. Blagojevich? Besides, Mrs. Blagojevich has a Series 7 license. All Michelle has is a license to practice law that was revoked as a result of a court order in 1993.
Blagojevich thought Obama would “pay to play,” as the Obamas have been engaged in “pay to play” schemes in the past. That is what Blagojevich thought, and that is why the Obamas are yet again mentioned in a complaint filed in a Court of law.

Someone on another Blago thread wondered how he could be so stupid to speak freely on the phone.
Maybe he thought any and every judge who could order a wiretap was bought and paid for.
Get this the Gov actually warned someone else not to discuss something on the phone!
And confirms the thought…..that he clearly felt it was safe to have such a discussion with Obama/Rahm.

“The wiretapped conversations took place after Election Day and as recently as last week. On the recordings, Blagojevich warned one person not to use the phone and said, “The whole world is listening. You hear me?”

The only Michele I find in the search is a Michele Chandler. Nothing about a Michele Robinson/Obama. I don’t like the fact that we’re about to have a president whose citizenship and credentials are as evasive as “Big Foot” but before making a claim about someone I wish we would take the time to verify what it is we’re saying about them.
A claim was made that Michelle Obama had her law license revoked or that she was in some way disciplined by a Disciplinary Commission. Well, I need more proof other than a link that does not substantiate the claim. Help me here, please!
Just type Obama in the search. You’ll find that their licenses were not revoked, they voluntarily gave them up.
She was compelled to give up her license by rule 770 which is strictly disciplinary, so that the specifics of her malpractice were not published. Rule 756 is voluntary relinquishment, all she’d have to do is pay $105/year for ANY reason. But the Commission lists the disciplinary codes.
This “voluntarily gave it up” nonsense is the bot line du jour. Fortunately AtlasShrugged screen captured everything which could get scrubbed and it’s really very obvious she was forced to give up her license.

Can’t believe we didn’t hear this all over the news, wait a minute, yes I can.
THANK YOU!
Well, what I wonder is if Obama had foreknowledge the investigation was on; makes perfect sense that he would come off as a choir boy if so.
Can anyone honestly believe either Obama now?
Can anyone get misty eyed over Michelle and her future parties at the White House?
This may well be the biggest crime and travesty in presidential history.
Oh Noes!!!!!!!!
I always said that Obama’s Chicago dealings would make Watergate look like a parking infraction.
Well now, I thought New Orleans blacks and Louisiana white politicans were only this corrupt…evidently Chicago is the sister City and Illinois the sister State! Edwin Edwards and Dollar Bill Jefferson are just equals to this corruption in Illinois!
This is absolute rubbish. You provide NO proof that Obama is or was participating in any way with the governor’s plans and schemes. Obama NEVER urged Valerie Jarret to try for the senate seat - in fact he told her no, he wanted her in washington and she felt she could do her best by being with the Obama’s. so whatever you are trying to say here is nothing but BS and another attempt to put Obama into a criminals’ shoes. So the governor insinuates that Michelle Obama is not qualified? prove it! prove any connection. this is an egotistical nutcase who thought he was above the law and, if anything, was NOT able to get obama to approve of or participate in his schemes and, in fact, Blogo was completely wrong on what he thought Obama wanted.
My take on this is these guys wheeling and dealing in the open like that must of been very comfortable in their surroundings, no one is going to deal with the man that is going to be President if you did not think he was open to this sort of thing.
Obama must of played the game at one time, so that gave Blogo the cue that dealing is the order of the day, Obama now is in the hot seat and wants to wash all this dirt off of his self and pretend that he knows nothing of how its done in Chicago, too late I say, yes Obama may cover as best as he can but eventually it will come out as to how deep he was in this game with these slime balls.
Justine, please google Evelyn Pringle and Operation Board Games. It will take you some time to go through all of the material, but, yes, Obama and his wife, were deeply involved in the “pay to play” Chicago way. Information is a powerful thing.
Nice try but Liberals don’t deal in such bothersome things as knowledge, facts, truths, etc.
I will go way out on the limb in thinking Blago
knew he was being taped and threw in the “won’t
get anything but appreciation” gambit to get his friend, PEOB off the prosecutorial hook.
Not that any of this is real. Just another
scenario played out to divert our attention away from a real issue: Barack Obama has dual citizenship which disqualifies his candidacy and
would negate his presidency.
If what attorney Phil Berg alleges is true, BO is actually an illegal alien who never regained his U.S. citizenship upon reentering the country from Indonesia–where he was adopted thus submitting to that country’s legal system–and should be deported. But we know how lax our immigration laws have become.
Perhaps he has agreed to work for pennies on the dollar. (I am being most cynical here. But I
am entitled to bitch and moan; I once paid taxes and expected to be represented. Now retired, I
would gladly pay someone to truly represent the
interests of the USA. Wouldn’t that be novel?)
A two-hour forum at the National Press Club in
D.C. recently profiled all the grievances and crimes Obama has perpetrated on the American electorate–from falsifying applications to
run for public office to denying dual citizenship, which means he is skirting the
U.S. Constitution’s ruling on who can be POTUS.
If the Supreme Court would do its sworn duty and review the Berg evidence fairly, all other questions would be moot. We are headed for a Constitutional crisis. That may not bother many;
it bothers we who care about freedom and history.
You gotta see this!

Scroll down a little and look at the picture. Please tell me, did Obama talk to Balogojevich?
looks like photo shop to me
the heads don’t match
looks like a bot saying it looks like photoshop
Justine ! How could anyone throw mud on my beloved mess-iah ? I would do anything for the Fuerher-opps-Obamanation. Please wake up to the Chicago machine politic. If you never lived there or if you do than you are part of the sheeple revolution that never will. Keep believing what you want. You will see the end results sooner than you think.
Justine, unless you’re a very special friend of Zero, how do you know that “Obama NEVER urged Valerie Jarret to try for the senate seat - in fact he told her no”? You make some pretty declarative statements and sound sure of yourself, but you provide no proof that you know anything!
It’s trickling out and we will know for sure before long. I’m popping the corn and kicking back to watch with a big grin on my face.
Is that you, Oprah?
2 articles were written that Obama was meeting with Blago after the election: (1) was written to say the meeting was going to occur, (2) was written to say the meeting had occurred.
I cannot get misty eyed about anything that IS going to happen to those criminals
Really? Regardless of the fact that Obama has not been tied in any meaningful way to this, the “biggest crime and travesty in presidential history”?
I pray that that is hyperbole intended to mock what some delusion Obama hater would say. If so, bravo! If not, seek help.
Wow. This is stunning.
Also, no one will ever believe that Obama did not speak with Blago about replacing HIS OWN SENATE SEAT!
We are not stupid OBAMA!
Let’s say for a minute that Obama didn’t know anything about what Blogobutt was really doing. Just for kicks and grins. Now, at the VERY least, Obama may have been caught in a lie by saying he never spoke to him. If he handn’t spoken to Obama or to a member of his staff, how would Blogobutt know who Obama favored?
he didn’t know - can’t you read??? Obama did NOT favor Valerie Jarret to be considered for the senate - he wanted her to come to washington to work for him in the white house - Blogo was completely wrong on what/who he thought Obama wanted.
From day one, whenever asked, Obama said he would leave his senate seat to the decision of the governor and had not voiced any opinion to him about who he favored.
Justine, can you not read?
Axlerod said Obama talked with governor on phone on November 27.

CHICAGO, ILL. — Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled.
That’s one of Obama’s first priorities today.
He’s meeting with Governor Rod Blagojevich this afternoon in Chicago to discuss it.
Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement.
And the Governor sent out a press release on Nov. 5th stating that he had spoken to Obama . . . .

So I guess Ax did NOT misspeak about them talking?
justine: are you really that naive?
Yes, we are. Look who we have as President-elect.
Bush was not my president and Obama, Soertoro or whoever he is, is not my president.
Didn’t vote for Bush or Obama and am not taking responsibility for either. That belongs to the people who actually voted for him and from the fraud in this election that may not be as many people as you think.
I resent your implication by using the word “we”….I prefer to say “those people”.
Keep digging Truth. This rabbit hole runs wide and it runs deep. It will get big enough to flush all these Chicago thugs down the drain. Even wide enough to swallow BO’s ego.
There are so many land mines in the background of this couple, it’s truly astounding and, yet, no one feels inclined (no one with any ink or air time, that is) to look down while walking. Totally oblivious. Willing to blow themselves and the rest of us up in the name of the CAUSE of The One We’ve (NOT) Been Waiting For.
Amid all the other hoopla about birth certificates and such (by the way, that’s a red herring — the man is unqualified to be POTUS no matter WHERE he was born — you’re fighting the wrong fight), are all these little-noticed but obvious, blatant, unethical acts. Anyone else would have been hung out to dry (if not indicted) long ago.
Barack Obama is elected to the Senate. His wife is placed immediately (all this happened in quick succession and, I suggest, there was nothing coincidental about it) in a new position. Her salary is increased by, not a percentage but, rather, a MULTIPLE of her previous salary. Obama then earmarks funds from the Illinois treasury back to the Hospital. This is as classic a case of “play for pay” as you will ever see and, yet, it has NEVER been examined in any depth by any media outlet (excluding this and other sites for which we are eternally grateful).
Did anyone examine MO’s qualifications for her new position? How it came to be awarded? How long she had been under consideration? Who the other candidates were for the job? How many were interviewed? Whether there was a search firm employed to fill this position? When was the position created? Was it occupied before MO was elevated to take it? Who was in it? What was their pay? What was the purpose of the earmarks, the stated purpose, and when were the requests made for the funds? What was the timing of these events? Has anyone else at this hospital (or any other) jumped a dozen pay grades (or whatever it was, it was a staggering increase, much like going from the minor leagues in Tulsa to the New York Yankees overnight — usually it’s because you’re a phenom or something extraordinary and everybody knows it — what was MO’s claim to extraordinary accomplishment that begged for her meteoric promotion, on the heels of her husband’s Senate victory)?
I’ve never understood why this seemingly meant nothing to anyone and why no media member ever asked anyone about it.
But, by now, why should we be surprised.
There are, I would guess, many conversations such as that involving Blagojevich in this case, of a similar nature and subject matter, conversations which were not taped but which, if they had been, would have put a quick end to this mind-numbing, smoke & mirrors candidacy.
Fantastic post. You should mail that out to Carol Marin at the Sun-Times, John Kass at the tribune, and then to the few local reporters who might actually pursue it (but I kinda doubt it): Chuck Goudie (ABC7), Dave Savini or Jay Levine(CBS2).
Yes, please let’s put pressure on the mainstream media to cover this. It’s just outrageous. Didn’t Chicago papers cover it at least? I find that beat reporters are still reporting, but there’s so much “noise” now that the message gets lost in the TV talking heads.
And, her hospital was fined, I believe, for ripping off and overcharging poor minority patients!
Ewwww….
She steers them away.
But the ones lucky enough to receive help….get robbed on top of it.
Geez…the only thing left is news that the hospital was running a protection racket in the neighborhood to collect on the overpriced bills.
Didn’t she keep the same position/title “just” got the HUGE raise?
come on, we know why the media didn’t look into it cause Barky told them ‘not to pick on my wife’
Michelle also was connected to Valerie Jarret, and a close friend of Bernardine Dohrn, as well as Rashid Khalidi’s wife.
Now see why Obama admonished the press for picking on his wife?
He can’t be vetted because that would be RACIST!
Nice snag. I pushed out the story best i could.
wow and wow again! Prez is a crook and dear First Lady…too !! Will be Michelle the first First Lady arrested? Our dear Michelle always doing nice and wonderful things!
Why should Michele be arrested? If she got hired to do a job, then she did her job. The question is, Who hired her? If she wasn’t qualified, then she shouldn’t have been hired in the first place.
Thank you truthteller. And, Obama has displayed his repayment of favors, over and over. Even for example that tiny thing of pushing legislation his wifes Hospital benefitted and then the very next year BOOM Michelle gets a HUUUGGGE RAISE!
Oh yes. Paybacks all around him right now. He just was all positioned out for the spot Gov B wanted.
He should have learned that technique of saying thank you, I appreciate your support a long time ago. Like Hillary, instead of buying his presidency, like the tens of thousands he gave to folks for their endorsement, even if their costituents went to Hillary.
I still would like to know how Senator Byrd feels after betraying his constituents and Hillary and endorsing O and then being squeezed out of his Chairmanship. OUCH!
the only obot happy today is favreau - whose own sordid mess was pushed to the back of the news…
Truthteller — This is excellent. It really pulls the BO/MO involvement into focus in a way that nothing to date yet has. I hope this is where Fitz is going with it too.
Tiny tiny friendly quibble: MO’s status in the Ill bar is just ‘inactive,’ and she can reactivate by just filling out a form and paying some fees. While the ARDC is an arm of the IllSCt, none of this adds up to her status being revoked under court order. The closest any court order would have ever gotten to her (unless you have details that don’t show up on the ARDC screen you linked) was the very general administrative order made by the IllSCt outlining the active/inactive status rules and regs, and according to ARDC’s screen, she is merely voluntarily inactive — a status that is, at best, merely created as an option by this court.
Don’t get me wrong — I’m not defending MO; I think she and BO and their gang of Chg thugs have demeaned my home town. But I have seen this particular form of words used re this point before, and thought it might be better to clarify it rather than leave it open for someone to come along and claim that the ‘revocation’ spin is a deliberate distortion, etc., you know the sort I mean.
I think it’s confusing. It says “voluntarily”, but on the last line, it says “court ordered inactive status”. Seems contradictory.
At the very least, though, it seems oldd that someone would go to all the work of law school, and only have a license for four years….
If she’s not actively practicing law, there’s no reason for her to keep paying the license fees.
“Court ordered” on this form means that it is recognized by the court that attorneys may voluntarily allow their license to lapse. It does not mean that she did anything wrong, nor that her license was taken from her. All she needs to do to become active is to a pay the standard fee and she is once again fully licensed. Your implication that she was censured by any body is incorrect.
There is a better explanation of this situation below by JB at 10:11:40.
There is a better explanation of this situation below by JB at 10:11:40:
Why doesn’t Baracks say court orderred then? Wouldn’t they both say the same thing if it was routine phrasing?
No malpractice report required as attorney is on (court ordered inactive status).
Great article….he is clearly using Michelle’s gains as a bargining point.
Like you point out upbove…the Gov knows the amount too.
He quotes it on this page discussing ‘picking up an extra 150 grand a year or whatever.’
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/1209081rod12.html
Tony Resko may not sing but the GOV will.
OH! EXCELLENT POINT! No way that man wants to do time. I just got giddy.
I agree. It appears he feels effed-ova by BO and he’s quite PO’d about it.
Rod should be very careful not to get “suicided” by somebody…
If the crazy allegations regarding the Choir Director at TUCC are anywhere close to right, there could be a lot of accidents in Illinois in the immediate future.
Unfortunately, we know now that Blago can be bought.
All BO has to do now is make Blago a sweetheart of a deal. It would include financial incentive and a presidential pardon in the future. Blago would have the money he desires and stay out of jail. Think about it. What are his options? His political career is over. He is in legal trouble. He is under “financial stress”. As long as he doesn’t squeal on BO, most(not all)of his problems can be taken care of. If he does squeal, what is the best he can get? Maybe he can get a reduced sentence, but he won’t get any money for his shakey future. If Blago is thinking about the long term future,keeping quiet and making a side deal with BO is probably his best bet.
Book deal! He can get a book deal! And, I don’t have to tell you it’ll make one heck of a movie! Just ask Woodword and Bernstein.
Don’t be so negative.
You don’t know Blago. No way he goes off quietly awaiting crumbs from Barack. I mean check out his hairdo—that Elvis look is shorthand for his whole persona which screams MMEEEEEEEEEE! He likes attention, he wants attention, he is going to continue to behave in a way that gets him attention.
4 or 8 years till obama can give a pardon! i don’t think the gov wants to go there. and fitz might prove to have a more attractive deal for the gov’s immedidate needs.
Thanks Truth,
Of course no one was allowed to look into Michelle and all her ties during the campaign, because barky said leave his wife alone, so the MSM lapdogs did. What a disgrace.
Outstanding post, Truthteller. Thank you for pulling this all together.
WHO is really surprised by all of this? I’m only surprised Fitz did it before the inauguration. Sure woulda been nice if may be had done something abt Blag’s connections to Rezko before the election, but whatever. Ahem. This is big enough, though.
And you KNOW that people are/will make excuses for Obama left and right. Heck, the AP is already censoring, I mean, editing what Blagojevich REALLY said abt Obama (not that the AP didn’t include one “f” word in there - but they left out the whole mo-fo part. How convenient.).
Great work, Truth!
Anyone know if Michelle has/will give up any of those positions?
Hi Annie,
Yeah, I think she has and she’s collecting unemployment now.
LOL! That’s too funny!
tillthen- you crack me up! I needed a good laugh!
Thank you TruthTeller!
Thanks Truthteller, I am only on Page 57.
What a Howler.
Obama by name is not metioned ANYWHERE so far by Name.
What is fasinating, is how carfully the document is worded in an effort to leave Obama out of the complaint.
I hope Rod tells who got Michelle the board seats and what it was a payback for. This could get interesting
Wonder how barky’s face tic is today.
his whole face must be ticking today.
One term only. If that.
I’m tired of these corrupt b**tards. Dem and Rep alike.
IndieDogg, clearly, this whole candidacy for president was bought and paid for by one heck of a large machine.
No one will question… pull out the race card when any doubt is present.
No one really cared after all our warnings and requests for investigation. No, no one cared.
Come on, people. Obama said he was saddened and sobered by the news of Blago. That’s suppose to wipe the slate clean, the restart button for the “blank slate” that is The One’s introspective analysis of self. Disappointed? But he said some of us might be disappointed. What are prophets for??
Well, this One is leading us straight to a poisoned well.
This stuff has been out there for months and months and months. But journalists, short of Pringle and several Chicago-based reporters, have ignored the growing evidence.
I agree with Truthteller and the other essayists today–this is just the beginning. The sewer pipe is leaking and the smell is going to get plenty bad!
There’s no doubt in my mind that the Gov. thought his old friend [Obama] would continue the pay-to-play game then got pissed off when he was flipped off by his second or third party contact. Appreciation means squat in Chicago game rules.
Political fallout? Fasten your seatbelts. I don’t see this one going away. There’s only so many times you can wipe that slate clean. And I can’t believe this is where we end up after 8 years of miserable leadership, trading one bad apple for another.
This is the equivalent of Gennifer Flowers during the Clintons 1st campaign. It never went away and it turned out that there was fire where there was smoke. It will be the same here. There will be no let up. No peace because his entire candidacy was predicated on a lie. That’s the way he and MEchille are.
How can anyone, knowing the Chicago style of politics, reason that this unknown, unaccomplished state senator noting his stratospheric rise was not put there by the crooks in Chicago machine? He is one of them.
Well we DID try to warn everyone. Rev. James Manning was right: Obama is TRASH.
This man Obama forged his birth certification and posted it on the internet as “proof” he was a natural born citizen–when he is not.
Just more stuff on him is already coming out.
I am mystified that the Republicans did not do much on this and I heard that even Rush Limbaugh did not even discuss this much.
Has everyone that can do anything so under the Obama spell [in this case meaning they are afraid of being called names like "racist," the dreaded R word] that they won’t do ANYTHING?
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK NoQuarterUSA! I know I can always come here and get the latest on that evil man Obama.
We are STILL working on getting facts and compiling evidence on Obama in regards to his birthplace.

I’ve been busy today and am now just catching up.
I do have a question: Where are all the little pet obots that usually come here to play? I miss them. Has something happened to frighten them away?
They are conspicuously absent aren’t they. I have not heard the sheeple bleating: “Obaaaaah Ma Obaaaaaah Ma”.
Let’s put BO out to pasture in an orange jumpsuit with all the other Chicago thugs.
Maybe he and OJ can share a room!!!
I really think that Michelle Obama is going to snap. She is going to revert to that angry black woman persona that the Obots hid so well for so long. But I don’t think she can handle it. Think of the pressure, the worry. She is gonna explode at someone, and it’s going to be really ugly. That is one angry black woman.
She isn’t proud of the U.S.A. AGAIN!
she ain’t “proud of the usa” again cos she married to an afrikan…her loyalties lie within his home country. good lord….what does it take for the obama supporters to see her and him for what they really are?
i KNOW angry black women cos i am one. gurlllll she gonna snap and it ain’t gonna be pretty. she can barely contain her “going ghetto on his ass” on a day to day.
Truth will out. Keep investigating and informing the public. Persist, persist, persist, my fellow citizen journalists.
Blagojevich is closely tied to BHO. IMO this absurd little speech by a man who knew he was under investigation is staged. He has been promised a lesser sentence in exchange for the speech, which makes him look less connected with BHO.
I do believe we’d better keep a close watch on the Obama finances. How on earth are they to live on the salary of a POTUS? MEchille won’t be serving on any boards or work at the hospital will she? Conflict of interest, etc. (but when did that ever stop them?) Maybe she’ll demand a salary for being the fake Jackie.
How will the girls get their ballet lessons? How will they pay the mortgage in Chicago? Will Oprah help out?
Uh-Oh! Michelle isn’t going to be proud of America. Darn! Just when she started to warm up to us.
Wow–impressive post.
Why was Michelle Obama’s license to practice law revoked way back then???
Good question. Why was it revoked?
Yes impressive post. Put lots of things together.
I am interested on MO & why she would not keep up her registration -given that being a lawyer is a BIG status thing & esp from a Ivy League School.
Where did she work from 94 on?
Fabulous.
The excerpt on pages 63-64 is beautiful. It’s getting awfully close to Obama and Michelle Obama. It seems Blago was inspired by Obama’s pay to play.
Blago : his wife :: Obama : Michelle Obama
Walmart is Treehouse Foods’ biggest customer. Barack made a crack about how he would never shop at Walmart, and Michelle resigned from that board a few days later.
Oh, those wacky Obamas!
(according to Evelyn Pringle in her article “Wizard of Oz” about Barack’s rise to power)
Hippocrit. He criticized Hillary for being on Walmart’s board in the past, but “forgot” to mentioned that he made his wife do the same.
CC - There are only about 6 important people in Chicago. The rest dont matter-eg the 486 murdered this year.
Another nail in the Obama’s coffin. Crook married to Crook….what else do we expect.
I agree w others….thank you NQ and all of the fine writers for your hard work, research, writing etc. to keep us informed and give us a forum for intelligent discussion (less the Opposuma followers.)
While I hate MO with all my fiber - the state did not revoke her license. In most jurisdictions, a lawyer can chose to voluntarily go “inactive” if they are no longer practicing law, they moved out of the jurisdiction, or if it would create a conflict of interest. All it means is that the member pays a lower rate to the state bar, and is ineligible to practice law until they reinstate themselves. It further ensures that should they wish to practice law again, they do not have to re-take the bar exam.
This was not an action by the Illinois State Bar and has nothing to do with performance.
No malpractice report required as attorney is on ((court ordered inactive status)).
I would like to join in with those who have urged that the posting be clarified regarding Michelle Obama’s law license. Believe me, I am no fan of hers and I have often wondered why her appointsment to boards for which she is unsuitable to sit and her employment and raises at the hospital have not generated more attention. It is clear that the Obamas played Chicago politics while he was state senator.
That said, many attorneys, especially if they are in-house counsel or other similar jobs, go on inactive status. They pay a lower bar registration fee and usually are excused from having to take continuing legal education courses. It is a simple process to go on active status again. By implying that she was disciplined in some way undercuts the credibility of the post which is unfortunate because it raises MANY good points.
was her inactivity ordered by the court or was it voluntary?
can’t have it both ways……..or can you?

There is no people more enslaved than the American people.
they are corralled into buying cheap garbage from Wall mart ,the very source of their troubles. buying cheap in their minds is a benefit .However
the cost of buying cheap is devastating their country.
How can you have an honest government when the people are so dumbed down to vote for the same crooks over and over again.
America is over it is in it’s last throws.
Oh it will list for a while yet but the days of thunder are over.
The North American Union will be installed and the
last vestiges of country will be lost probably in 2010.
10,000 Americans are leaving each year ,these are the brightest people leaving not the dummies.
the effect of having 1200 nuclear bombs explode in America is evident 70% of the population is as dumb as a door knob.The minute particles of 235-238 uranium is insidious ,it has created a population
of varying degree of mental retardation the past 50 years . This is why those born prior to 1945 are much more smarter.this degradation is passed on to offspring ,there is no escape from it.
i think michele is above all that since the “O” got the electoral nod !

Justine,
WAKE UP!
Blindly following anyone makes you a sheep.
Trusting words without whitnessing action makes you blind…and a fool.
Barack Obama knew the “pay to play game”. He’s played it before. Why else would Blagojevic think he would play ball? You don’t tell someone who isn’t in the mob about a “hit”.
You only play baseball with baseball players. In other words Obama knew the deal.
He got his wife’s salary trippled. I live in Chicago and Im surprised this didn’t come out sooner.
Im on the Chicago Urban League.(SPOILER) You cant get much done in Chicago if you’re not willing to pay.
Obama is guilty. An Innocent man wouldn’t be so silent. Nor would he pay an army of lawyers to hide his background and birth certificate.
This will make Watergate look like a cakewalk.
Justine, darling, youre obviously brainwashed. But like all Obamatrons, you will be snapped out of it soon.
So this is the kind of government the rest of the world should have?
I always knew the Obamas were nothing more than your typical Chicago thugs. Now the voters have put this thug in the highest office in the land. We will live to regret the day we ever elected this common Chicago thug.

Lapdog Major Garrett reported tonight that poor little Zero is getting tired after breaking all records appointing all those cabinet members so quickly. Said it was “wearing” on BO and he was in need of his Hawaiian vacation.
It’s hard work!
And so what? Blago was upset at deals made by Obama and was angry because he was left out…. That’s politics and I don’t think voicing those concerns warrant his removal as gov….Obama made deals all across the board, national and international as well as “other” covert deals……Feed a man and he eats for a day….Teach a man to fish and he eats for LFETIME….Apparantly Blago learned to fish LOL….Besides all of that, it can be said he was jst letting off steam…talking bravado so to speak knowing he was not going to get anything in return but hey: What’s wrong with fishing?
Many people wonder why so many of these politicos “speak freely”, sometimes almost openly, on issues that mark them as criminals. Simple. They know the vast majority of Americans are for all practical purposes in a comatose state where their understanding of politics is concerned. Actually, it isn’t even Americans understanding that is at issue, it is their total lack of concern for their nation. There I said it. We have a nation full of people, of all ages, of all races and cultures, that simply don’t care about anything that politicians are up to and this will be our undoing. Isn’t it happening already, and most Americans are standing still or going on as usual, as if everything were perfectly normal, instead of calling for the absolute removal of every single criminal in office. A daunting task, it is true, but either we do it or we are doomed as a first world nation. The use of their positions to rob the American public of their heritage can no longer be tolerated. How corrupt, how far down, are we planning to allow these people to take us??
Bobby, you said a blog full. This isn’t anything new. One of my first jobs back in the ’60’s was in an electronics factory in N. H.. One of the local workers, a very bight young man, one day said to me that if polled the dozen or so workers in our department, none would know who the VP was and perhaps none would know who the POTUS was. He was right!! None knew that LBJ/HHH were our leaders. These were all typical white people, native to N.H., comatose, as you say, but, I remember clearly, they all knew who the characters were on “The Addams Family”.

wrong is wrong but PLEASE treat all equal.
OR can you? Do you even want to?
What a crappy comment: be fair …
Don’t make it look like we are falsely persecuting the Obamas because we aren’t being fair. What a bunch of rubbish!
the reason Obama’s corruption is SUCH a big deal compared to other poltician’s corruption is HE CLAIMED TO BE THE POLITICIAN WHO IS ABOVE POLITICS
And THAT’S why so many faux-liberals voted for him.
We didn’t demand this requirement of him, Obama made the claim himself and now is being exposed for who he really is. Michelle is being exposed too because we were admonished by Obama to “leave my wife alone”

Her ethics are as smelly as Obama’s.
Her innactive status was court ordered. There will be a lot of stink surface in her background in the next year. PEBO is out of line. If he wants his wife to get a free pass, we don’t go for that. She was involved in politics and many levels and not an outsider housewife.

You guys are a bunch of losers. The obama’s had nothng to do with any of this. Michelle’s license was voluntarily given up and not under any wrongful circumstances
…….and you know this how????
He knows it because 1) he was told so by an SEIU member who assured them that it was voluntary, and if any further inquery was made that they’d meet physical harm… or 2) because he was given an influential position on a corporate board providing he ‘inform’ us poor masses who can clearly NOT read for ourselves, since we all misread that her license to practice law was in “court ordered inactive status” since 1993….
hmmm could be either of those two options!
does anyone know why m.o.’s law license was revoked or court ordered inactive? thanks. so are you all loving how the communist mob has taken over our government?
