We all know about the 100 million dollars in grants and loans the barky helped Rezko secure to provide Chicago’s inner-city citizens with “way cool” housing. In other words, no heat in sub-zero Chicago winters.
In case you need a reminder, take a look.
But Rezko isn’t the only developer barky gives some special lovin to. Developer Allison Davis, one of barky’s early mentors and a longtime political supporter gets that special barky treatment too.
The Democratic presidential hopeful wrote a letter to the Bush administration that until now has been hidden from the public and was ghostwritten for him by a consultant for the Chicago Housing Authority, which wanted the money. The Bush administration approved barky’s request, awarding Davis $20 million in September 2008 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Now isn’t that special. Let’s hope the money goes to a good cause, because nothing is going to be built with it.
Now does this mean that barky can’t walk and chew gum at the same time? He had the letter written for him much like his speeches. He said in the last debate that he stopped requesting earmarks when we started looking into them. This sounds like an earmark to me. That’s some change we can believe in.
UPDATE FROM THE AP. barky takes care of his US based family too.
As a state senator, Democrat Barack Obama awarded $75,000 in government grants to a Chicago social service organization led by a rabbi who is also his wife’s cousin, records show.
In 1999, Obama arranged for $50,000 for adult literacy and counseling services offered on Chicago’s South Side by a group called Blue Gargoyle. A $25,000 grant for the group’s youth services followed the next year.
The group’s executive director when the grants were awarded was Capers Funnye, a South Side rabbi and Michelle Obama’s first cousin once removed.
I guess as long as you’re not family living in a shack or a hut in Africa barky will help you out. Just ask his cousin Odinga.
he said he got no earmarks this year!
20 million can buy a lot of votes. timing it in Sept is just right too.
he wasn’t aware of those bldgs? he hardly knew Rezko, or Ayers? how long can he continue denying what’s in front of him?
as long as ppl believe him.
can you post the CHA request, deadenders?
have you seen the new baby Jesus Obama persecution video? what a crock! they’re smearing me! whah!
off topic but related…
what kind of man could see this & not send help? he made a fat paycheck writing an auto-biography exploiting his African heritage, but can’t even help a relative. the man has no heart.

Yep, as America is introduced to Barky, change is coming.
“The race has tightened in the last day. After trailing by 5-7 pts. for the last 10 days, McCain is now just 2 pts. behind Obama.”
maybe your theory about Jo Jo was correct.
something’s different about the barky home page.
Joe is missing. it’s a new Barky “family” adoration theme w/MO.
