Jesse Jackson Jr. directed a major political fund-raiser to offer former Gov. Rod Blagojevich millions of dollars in campaign cash in return for an appointment to the U.S. Senate, sources said the fund-raiser has told federal authorities.The allegation by Oak Brook businessman Raghuveer Nayak counters public statements made as recently as last week by Jackson that he never authorized any deal to attempt to buy the Senate seat.The allegation that Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. directed a major political fund-raiser to offer former Gov. Rod Blagojevich millions of dollars in campaign cash in return for an appointment to the U.S. Senate contradicts public statements he made as recently as last week.

AceRimmer Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Here comes Hurricane Rhambo. The Obambi White House is going to try to wipe out anybody who dares stand in the face of his administration, including Jesse Jackson or JJ, Jr. They're going to lie, steal, cheat, and make Nixon look like an amateur with his 'Enemies List', compared with what 'Hope and Change' digs up on political opponents. This is hard-style Chicago politics that takes no prisoners... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casino67 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Here comes Hurricane Rhambo.

This is hard-style Chicago politics that takes no prisoners... imo JJ,Jr. probably has some doo doo on Rahmbo. This could turn out to be a real fecesfair. Both will fall and maybe take Urkel with them. Question: Why is the Indian community so interested in JJ's success? What kind of deal does he have with them?
