#1 On a spring day in 2004, Nadhmi Auchi, one of the world's richest men, flew in to Midway Airport on a private jet. Met by a welcoming party that included Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn (there at the request of the Blagojevich administration) and businessman Tony Rezko, Auchi was brought to a downtown hotel where he was the guest of honor at a reception hosted by Blagojevich.

The Iraqi-born billionaire -- who lives in London -- had come to Chicago on business. He would go on to invest nearly $170 million in a prime piece of vacant land in the South Loop -- 62 acres along the Chicago River that Rezko wanted to develop.

Chicago politics keep coming up. Resko is connected to BO. Aren't Rezko and Blagojevich under indictment? Does this mean that if BO gets elected that Chicago politics have a new D.C. address?

Hopefully this will result in Obama wearing another kind of... 'bracelet.'

how I wish that would be true. I've gotten to the point where I can't help wonder if our justice dept is no longer just.

#6 You're a bit naive, Betty. I take it you haven't had much experience with the judicial system. If you ever do, be sure to have a lot of money available.
