Blago Trial: Obama Called SEIU Leader About Jarret For Senate Seat
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 3:33 PM
Of course, Barack Obama told the state-run media in December 2008,
“This senate seat does not belong to any politician to trade.”
Today we found out that Barack Obama called top SEIU leader Thomas Balanoff to push Valerie Jarrett for his senate seat.
The Sun-Times blog reported:
Top union leader Thomas Balanoff said he was at dinner the night before the November Presidential election when he got a call that was blocked.
So he didn’t take it.Later he listened to his messages: “I walked outside, listened to it and it was from President Obama,” Balanoff said.
“Tom, this is Barack, give me a call,” the soon-to-be President-Elect said on the message.
After Balanoff sent word through an Obama aide to call him back, Obama returned his call later that night.
“Tom, i want to talk to you with regard to the Senate seat,” Obama told him.
Balanoff said Obama said he had two criteria: someone who was good for the citizens of Illinois and could be elected in 2010.Obama said he wasn’t publicly coming out in support of anyone but he believed Valerie Jarrett would fit the bill.
“I would much prefer she (remain in the White House) but she does want to be Senator and she does meet those two criteria,” Balanoff said Obama told him. “I said: ‘thank you, I’m going to reach out to Gov. Blagojevich.”
Gee, what a surprise, under oath SEIU official said Obama lied about Blago contacts.

Absolutely nothing will come of this… or anything else for that matter.
This guy (Barack) got into the Oval Office by lying about everything he ever did in his entire life, and making sure the truth about his past, his associations, his views, etc. never saw the light of day.
You think some piddly mouse like Blago is going to even tarnish a man like that? When he’s got the entire Media shilling for him on a daily basis? You’re nutz…

Wow, that makes 3 impeachable offense by obama in 15 months. I’m sure patrick fitzgerald is on the job agressively investigating this. Not.

It’s going to take damning audio/video recordings to bring Obama down… the he-said/she-said of shady characters like Blago won’t cut it.

Where is my military? Where is the Honor to the Oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution?
It’s a cinch the press and Justice Dept. have abdicated their responsibilities.

Did Oilbammy grease any palms to get this done?
BarbaraS commented:
This is one of the women who rule Obama and therefore the nation. Michelle is the other one.However, Geore Soros is the puppeteer who pulls the strings on all of them. What was it Obama said months ago. Oh, yes. He didn’t interfere in any way with the selection of his replacement. Yeah, right. Valerie wanted to be a US senator and he wanted to give it to her.

I think have heard this one before, sounds familiar… was it “I did not have sex with that woman” or “I am not a crook”.

ogee commented:
So he had one of his useful idiots in SEIU do his bidding of getting Valerie Jarret from Iran into his old Senate seat. And Blago took the fall for him. Well we knew this all along. Well, disenfranchised dems knew. It’s archived on some blogs.
What do you say? Call a spade a spade? This act committed is a quid pro quo. No lies can distort that fact. And it’s illegal. Another law violation on ogiggles resume. So when does he get arrested?

SEIU goon as a go-between. Now we know who pulls Obama’s strings.

There’s no question that Obama’s in this over his head.

He’ll deny of course. So that makes it he said/he said. But we all know what an upstanding President we now have in office!

Want to get an idea of just who Barry Soetoro, aka: Barack Hussein Obama REALLY is?
GOOGLE: “The Sworn Affidavit Of Bishop Ron McRae” and read it. Especially note the part that mentions how MUSLIMS (which “O” is, make no mistake) do NOT have to give up the beliefs or faith to be members of Jeremiah Wright’s “Christian church” in Chicago, which “O” belonged to for 20 years.
Barack Hussein Obama is NOT an American citizen.
Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his kindergarten records.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his Punahou school records.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his Occidental College records.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his Columbia University records.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his Columbia thesis.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his his Harvard Law School records.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his Harvard Law Review articles.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his passport.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his medical records.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his files from his years as an Illinois state senator.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his Illinois State Bar Association records.
Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his baptism records, and his adoption records.
Just imagine if he were a Republican, what the media would have put him through.
Better wake up America. You’re witnessing the Communist takeover of your country right before your eyes.

In case y’all missed this one yesterday:
Judge to Blagojevich lawyers: You can’t see President Obama’s interview with FBI
http://blogs.suntimes.com/blago/2010/06/judge_to_blagojevich_lawyers_y.html
The reason given by the judge was, “There’s just nothing there.”
It seems it should be up to the defense attorneys to decide if there’s anything in the interview(s) that would be useful in defending their client. Besides, since there’s nothing there, that seems even more reason to let the defense see it because then they’ll know that their client will find no defense there. The judge is obviously lying for Oilbama. Seems to be a lot of that going around nowadays.
Isn’t it illegal to deny the defense whatever information it requests of the prosecution? Isn’t this obstruction of due justice or something like that?
Robert commented:
“she does want to be Senator”
Then she can run for office like everyone else.

Third criterion: She had to be black.
Not that the following matters in the big scheme of things but…
I thought Valerie Jarret was white. After reading your comment, I was going to correct you but thought I should confirm first. Searched Bing’s images of her only to see that she looks white in some photos and black in other photos, which didn’t help at all. So, searched “Valerie Jarret ethnicity” on Bing and bios of her state that she’s black. (Also learned that she was born in Iran.) Just thought this was odd enough to share.
Bobbi commented:
Valerie Jarrett’s father-in-law was a close communist friend of Frank Marshall Davis.
But why does this SEIU creep betray Barry?

maybe you heard it here.. i mean i only posted several different
links about it several times over the past several years..

James E. Bowman (father)
[he evidently did some great work, had more on some of his
not so great associations, but can't find it, oh well, here's Mom..]
Barbara Taylor Bowman (mother)
[For many years Bowman has run the Chicago based Erikson Institute.
An early Erikson board member was Chicago businessman and "liberal" activist Tom Ayers-father of Weather Underground terrorist leader and long time Barack Obama friend and colleague Bill Ayers.
Bernardine Dohrn, has also served on the Erikson board in recent years[4].
Tom Ayers served as a trustee of the Erikson Institute. The Institute distributed $46,025 in Northern Trust scholarships. At the time, the Erickson Institute Board of Trustees also included Ayers’ convicted felon daughter-in-law, Bernadine Dohrn Ayers. In addition, the Institute’s co-founder, Barbara Bowman, is the mother of close Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.
In an obvious reference to Barbara Taylor Bowman, Bill Ayers wrote on page 82 of his book, “A Kind and Just Parent”, describing his Hyde Park neighborhood:
“Just south I see the Robert Taylor Homes named for the first head of the Chicago Housing Authority, whose daughter, a neighbor and friend
is president of the Erikson Institute.”]

oh please, Fitzmas has had Obama’s butt covered since day one.. he even stated that Obama was guilty at one time.. but then Obama crowned him
Special Counsel’, and now the cover-up continues.. watch Obama come out of this distraction smelling like ‘The Rose That Grew In Chi-Town (play on A Tree Grows In Brooklyn)..
disclaimer: if i am proved wrong, i will profusely apologize to
Fitz the lying liar (Conrad Black’s Revenge – WSJ.com)..
[The Black and Skilling cases are precisely the kind involving high-profile, unsympathetic defendants in which willful prosecutors like Mr. Fitzgerald are inclined to abuse the honest services law. They know the media won't write about the legal complexities, and they know juries are often inclined to find a rich CEO guilty of something. We regret that in the case of Mr. Black, that failure of media oversight included us.]

Fitzgerald: Obama Paid Blagojevich for “Under the Table” Deals
[Fitzgerald told the media that the larceny charges would be added to Blagojevich’s already fattened legal case, but said that Obama would probably be left off the hook. “I don’t want to hurt the precious,” Fitzgerald remarked, “even if he is guilty. Plus, there’s evidence that supports [Obama] may have been unaware that the goods were stolen,” Fitzgerald added. “Although, this would insinuate that he is incredibly dense and unfit to lead, so I’ll just assume that he’s guilty, but too handsome to press charges against.”]
