Obama's Ties to the Mafia

When former Pres. Barack Obama was in Chicago, he got a little help from some unsavory but powerful friends. Some had links to the Mafia. When Obama bought a house in Chicago, he got some help from Tony Rezko. Obama couldn't afford a side yard to the large house on the south side of Chicago, so Tony Rezko's wife bought the side yard and resold it to the Obamas. A Syrian immigrant who earned millions in the real estate and restaurant businesses, Rezko has been imprisoned since 2008 after he was convicted on 16 fraud and attempted bribery counts. The judge in the case stated that the endemic corruption in Illinois had to stop.

I had great hopes in the integrity of former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who successfully prosecuted a number of sleazy politicians in Illinois, including former Illinois governors George Ryan (R) and Rod Blagojevich (D), both of whom were convicted of fraud and corruption and sent to prison. Among other corrupt offenses, Blagojevich attempted to sell former Sen. Obama's Senate seat.

However, Fitzgerald suddenly left public life. Maybe he had an offer he couldn't refuse? If you want the full vision of what it means to get an offer you can't refuse, you'll have to watch Barack Obama's favorite movies, "The Godfather" and "Godfather II." Actually, "The Godfather" clearly covers the offer you can't refuse.

Is Rahm Emanuel, Chicago Mayor and former chief of staff to Pres. Obama, tied to the Mob? He and two other Democrats once got into an argument got into an argument with a pollster. They found a company that offered a service: sending a dead fish in a mahogany case to someone. Emanuel and his friends sent a dead fish to the pollster. Emanuel claimed to be unaware that sending someone a dead fish was a not-so-subtle Mafia message to "sleep with the fishes" (die).

When Mayor Rahm Emanuel awarded a contract connected to O'Hare Airport to a mob-connected firm, United Maintenance, the Service Employees International Union Local 1 secretary-treasurer, Laura Rueda, complained that Emanuel was taking care of his millionaire friends by hiring United Maintenance, and in so doing, taking away middle-class jobs from SEIU workers.

Paul Fosco, a vice president of United Service Companies, served time in 1987 after he was charged in the same corruption case as late mobster Anthony “Big Tuna” Accardo. The Chicago Sun-Times reported the owner of United Service Companies, Richard Simon, had partnered in the past with alleged mob figure William Daddano Jr. United Maintenance is one of the five divisions of United Services Companies.

For some reason, I couldn't insert the link to United Service Companies in the text anywhere, so there it is above this sentence. Same with Richard Simon, who owns United Service Companies. So here's the link to Richard Simon:
