Obama mentions Chicago Mob Linked Giannoulias, Chicago's Greektown at Green White House event

The Chicago Sun-Times reports on President Obama's comments on Tuesday:
We have some outstanding members of Congress who are here, and we've got at least one potential member of Congress -- Alexi, stand up -- from the state of Illinois. (Applause.) We've got in fact, in addition to Alexi, we've got a lot of Greek American friends here who've been great friends and supporters of mine, including folks here from Chicago. I think we've got just about all of Greektown here. (Laughter.) And we also have some of the outstanding Greek Americans who are serving in my administration.
