Why did you ignore the real reason for the Obama's efforts at winning the Olympic games for Chicago?

In an uncommonly hard-hitting investigative piece, the Boston Globe’s Binyamin Appelbaum blew the whistle on the rodent-infested, sewage-clogged Chicago slums run by the Obamas’ most trusted confidante. Valerie Jarrett refused to answer any questions about Grove Parc, “citing what she called a continuing duty to Habitat’s former business partners.” A “continuing duty,” presumably, to whitewash the inconvenient truth about the failed public-private partnerships the Obamas continue to promote in the White House:



“They are rapidly displacing poor people, and these companies are profiting from this displacement,” said Matt Ginsberg-Jaeckle of Southside Together Organizing for Power, a community group that seeks to help tenants stay in the same neighborhoods.



“The same exact people who ran these places into the ground,” the private companies paid to build and manage the city’s affordable housing, “now are profiting by redeveloping them.”



In 2006, while Valerie Jarrett was executive vice president of Grove Parc’s management firm Habitat Company, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex a bottom-of-the-barrel 11 on a 100-point scale. Another Habitat-mismanaged property called Lawndale Restoration was so run-down that city officials urged the federal government to take over the complex.



Jamie Kalven, a veteran Chicago housing activist, told the Boston Globe about Barack Obama: “I hope there is not much predictive value in his history and in his involvement with that community.” Kalven’s hopes will likely be dashed. As Chicago goes, so goes the nation. Obama has made a career of rewarding failure and no amount of overhyped “Hope” will change that. He sponsored a plethora of bills in the state Senate benefitting affordable housing developers. In February 2009, he unveiled a plan to set up a $1 billion Housing Trust Fund “to rehabilitate housing in the nation’s poorest neighborhoods.” “Trust Fund?” Try slush fund, bottomless pit, and eternal stimulus for the real estate moguls posing as saviors of urban America.



In one of those endless Chicago coincidences, Grove Parc Plaza Apartments—now targeted for demolition as a result of years of neglect by Obama’s developer friends—sits in the shadows of the proposed site of the city’s 2016 Olympics Stadium. Valerie Jarrett is vice chair of Chicago’s Olympics committee.Why did you ignore the real reason for the Obama's efforts at winning the Olympic games for Chicago?
Sorry this reads like an opinion piece....a true reporter reports the facts and lets the reader draw conclusions. They do not use terms like "Try slush fund, bottomless pit, and eternal stimulus" or "career of rewarding failure"...quotes from people saying those things work, but a reporter injecting them as their own conclusion turns the piece from reporting to editorial,..with a very obvious viewpoint.
0bama is a crook.

The rest of the world reads his books.

Studies Chicago and reads his climb up and voting record.



It is a no brainer look at who his followers are 0b0ts and she0ple.Why did you ignore the real reason for the Obama's efforts at winning the Olympic games for Chicago?
Obama wasn't president when Chicago applied to the Olympics. Failed question.
I ignore long-winded, irrational ranting.Why did you ignore the real reason for the Obama's efforts at winning the Olympic games for Chicago?
Why are you ignoring the fact that President Obama had nothing to do with Chicago being on the list of cities, since the IOC makes up their own lists years in advance?
blah blah blah... get a life!
FOO. Friend of 0bama.



You will not hear anything derogatory about FOO's . This was a way of Valerie (now in the Whitehouse) to make millions. This administration is like an octopus. It has connections in everything on all levels.



This is the MOST CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION TO DATE.
Fox needs to hire that writer... he would do well on their smear committee. Isn't Jarrett on the list of "democrats we must target?"

I don't accept that having the Olympics, somehow works out to one level below pedophiles or something.

"hard hitting investigative piece" sounds like something out of worldnetdaily/ national enquirer.
while all this is documented a nd know i love the denial from the one that istead of wating to know the truth just says blah blah. and that is why barry runs loose with our money and passing laws that inch by inch takes something from us. he and ayers were given astounding amounts of money to fix up the rat holes in chicago but pocketed the money instead. you can blah or baa but you elected a crook and what you see is what you get. nothing. an empty suit.But this is what they want and this is what they got. a man with no clear plan.for the economy. his plan is tearing the country down as fast as he can.
