Obama Hires Convicted Chicago Felon:The Husband of U. S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill)

Thomas Lifson reports on Barack Obama:
Robert Creamer, the husband of U. S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill) who was sentenced to jail for running a community group and paying himself big bucks while banks held the bag, has been teaching a group of young (mostly) volunteers for the presidential campaign of Barack Obama....

Nothing wrong with Creamer earning a living. Indeed not long ago he surfaced as a registered lobbyist working against the Senate confirmation of UN ambassador John Bolton, paid by the George Soros-funded "Open Society Policy Center." But the idea of a convicted felon who kited checks lecturing the supposedly idealistic Obama campaign on how to raise money and get elected is a bit much.
Barack Obama really is a Chicago style politician.It takes a certain sense of style to hire a felon of this sort.When Republicans hire convicted felons the MSM infers sleaze.When Democrats hire convicted felons it's all about compassion and rehabilitation.
