This guy is making it too darn easy!

Chicago businessman Robert Blackwell Jr. paid Obama an $8,000 a month retainer to give legal advice to his business. Part of Blackwell’s business includes Killerspin which is basically into ping-pong equipment and tournaments. Blackwell became an Obama contributor and eventually Obama helped to secure $320,000 in state grants for Blackwell to subsidize his company’s ping-pong tournaments.

All this happened around 2002-2004.

Obama used official state senate letterhead to get the grants for his financial contributor.

One hand washes the other....and too often, there is money passed between those hands.

I want to sponsor a beer drinking tournament. How do I get a gov't grant?

This shows that Obama is as corrupt as the worst of them.

Sounds like the illegal funneling of money. Perhaps Obama is a communist spy like Robert Hanssen?
