Obama and Mayor Daley: The Chicago Tribune Lovefest Continues

The Chicago Tribune continues on its biased coverage of Barack Obama and Mayor Daley.The Tribune claims they weren't that close politically but:

The architect of Obama's U.S. Senate campaign and his presidential bid was David Axelrod, the same consultant who has served as Daley's political strategist since 1989. Rahm Emanuel, Obama's choice to be White House chief of staff, began his political life as a fundraiser for Daley.

The common ties even include Obama's wife, Michelle, who had worked for Daley in his executive office and at the city Planning Department years before Obama launched his political career. Daley's planning commissioner at the time, Valerie Jarrett, became a close friend of both Obamas, was a top adviser to his presidential campaign and is now poised to play a key role in the new administration.

Barack Obama,the Chicago Machine,status quo kind of guy.
