III: Foundation-Funded Racism: Jeremiah Wright and Michelle 133of later Vice President Al Gore, was convicted of conspiracy to defraud the federal government,
plus perjury, and did some jail time. Sam Pierce was manifestly involved in mismanagement, abuse
and political favoritism, but an independent counsel was unable to get the goods on him. This gives
us the merest inkling of what an Obama administration may have in store. It may prove to be the
most corrupt administration since Warren Gamaliel Harding, almost a century ago.
Obama will doubtless seek to portray any abuses as the inevitable by-products of his valiant
attempt to redress the balance of minority oppression. Indeed, his legal colleagues appear to be
consummate masters in the gaming of the system of quotas, set-asides, preferences, and other
mechanisms of discrimination which have grown up under the aeges of the post-Nixon affirmative
action policies. As Pringle points out,
An example of the Chicago version of a minority-owned business is DV Urban Realty Partners,
where Allison Davis, who is amillionaire many times over, owns 51%, and Robert Vanecko,
Mayor Daley’s nephew, owns 49%. First of all, “Barack Obama you are no Robert Kennedy,”
and we’re still asking the question because the careers of politicians like Obama are funded by a
political mafia which has turned helping the poor into a cottage industry. Cursory review of
Illinois campaign records shows Allison Davis and his family members giving close to $16,000
to Obama’s presidential campaign. The Sun-Times reports that Davis has donated more than
$400,000 to dozens of political campaigns, and the top beneficiaries include Mayor Daley,
Blagojevich and Obama.” (Pringle, op-ed news)
It was also thanks to the Davis, Miner & Barnhill law firm that Obama was able to forge an
additional set of links with the Chicago foundation community, starting with the Woods Fund.
Pringle shows that Obama began serving on the board of Woods Fund, a Chicago charity
foundation, in 1993, the same year he was hired by Davis’ law firm. In 2000, Davis went to the
foundation to help fund his plans to build low income housing. Obama voted to invest $1 million
with Neighborhood Rejuvenation Partners, a $17 million partnership that Davis still operates,
according to a report by Novak in the November 29, 2007 Sun-Times. [Daley hack Martin] Nesbitt
is also vice president of the Pritzker Realty Group, where he procures new real estate investment
opportunities, retail investments and developments for the Pritzker Group....’ This is Martin
Nesbitt, a top official of the Chicago Housing Authority, where the slogan on the logo reads
“Change” – no doubt to comfort Rezko’s victims.^31 A quick trip to the Huffington Post site showed
tens of thousands of dollars donated to Obama from people with the last name Pritzker in the
Chicago area,’ with many from the Pritzker clan. Penny Pritzker, whose family controls Hyatt
Hotels, is the National Finance Chair for the Obama campaign, and presides over Obama’s
equivalents of the Bush Pioneers or Rangers. The party label may change, but the plutocracy
remains. As for Nesbitt, he has been showing up in television profiles of Obama as a distinguished
commentator on issues like Barky’s anguish when he was forced to part company with Jeremiah
Wright, and so forth; Nesbitt is never asked about shady dealings in Chicago.
