Mr. Jackson’s relationship with Mr. Obama has been warm. Mr. Jackson, whose sister Santita went to high school with Michelle Obama, served as a national co-chairman of Mr. Obama’s presidential campaign and as a co-chairman of his Senate race in 2004. That year, Mr. Obama approached Mr. Jackson about whether he was considering a run for the Senate before Mr. Obama decided to pursue it. (Mr. Jackson said he had decided against it and gave Mr. Obama his blessing.)Some in the media say the Blagojevich-Operation Board Games investigation has nothing to do with Obama.Well,you have Jesse Jackson Jr. and Valerie Jarrett being mentioned in this phase of Operation Board Games.
