Barack Obama and his Chicago syndicate sure do know how to rob the treasury. The failed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is a testament to that. Now, we see the windy city has blown its corrupt stench across the country. The L.A. Times reports who the top grifters are in the White House:
Chief of Staff William Daley, who is the brother of Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, who just retired and left the top Democratic-machine job there to Rahm Emanuel, who was Obama's chief of staff and before that held the Chicago House seat of Rod Blagojevich, who had given it up to become governor of Illinois, which he no longer is due to impeachment and, now, conviction on 17 counts of fraud.
The Daleys' father, Richard J. Daley, was also a longtime Chicago mayor whose operatives provided Illinois' crucial electoral votes to elect John F. Kennedy president back in 1960 before Obama was born.
Valerie Jarrett has a White House title as long as Chicago's winters (senior advisor and assistant to the president for intergovernmental affairs and public engagement). Before this, she was a chief of staff for the most recent Mayor Daley and hired an assistant named Michelle Robinson, who went on, of course, to become Mrs. Barack Obama, whose chief of staff also earns the top $172G paycheck.
This year, the one before Obama's attempted reelection, he reduced his staff by 15 people and $1.7 million.
Some White House aides have already returned to Chicago as campaign employees, including political strategist David Axelrod, who helped elect the most recent Mayor Daley, as well as, briefly, Sen. Obama and then President Obama. Axelrod also made the top salary when he had to live in Washington.
The Obama retinue consists of 141 aides who earn more than $100,000; of which 21 earn up to $172,000. Out of that brigade of aides, 41 owe the I.R.S. back taxes:
The 2011 White House salary report does not include mention of the 41 unidentified Obama staff members who owe the Internal Revenue Service $831,000 in back taxes. That report came out last fall (Scroll down for the link.)
If Al Capone were alive today, he would be strolling down the aisles of the Obama White House. I’m sure he would have been right at home with the current crew who occupy it. At least they would have kept him out of prison for tax evasion.
