Yet Another Unseemly Connection for Obama
Posted by Dave Blount at October 3, 2008 12:06 PM
To the long list of close friends Obama may have to throw under the bus, we can add his poker buddy Larry Walsh, a former Illinois state senator and current Will County executive whose office has been raided by the FBI.
According to sources, the Walsh investigation may be tied to lobbying firm Smith Dawson and Andrews, which was hired in 2006 for $10,000 per month to help Will County acquire federal grants. […] One of the firm's partners, James P. Smith, contributed $2,000 to help Mr. Walsh's county executive election bid.
In short, it's corrupt Chicago politics as usual. If only the FBI would show more interest in the Obamessiah himself before it's too late.
Obama maneuvers his old friend toward the path of a bus.
On a tip from Lyle.
