Shady Jarrett
The #1 person to make millions out of the Olympics is no other then Valerie Jarrett President Obama's senior advisor, a long time cronie which started with then corrupt Richard Daley. She had groomed Obama for the Chicago senate. She was also in charge of his campaign to be President.
Remember Tony Rezko? Rezko donated to Obama's campaign, Obama becomes U.S. senator, he and Rezko's wife, Rita, bought adjacent pieces of property from a doctor in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood -- a deal that has dogged Obama. The doctor sold the mansion to Obama for $1.65 million -- $300,000 below the asking price. Rezko's wife paid full price -- $625,000 -- for the adjacent vacant lot. The deals closed in June 2005. Six months later, Obama paid Rezko's wife $104,500 for a strip of her land, so he could have a bigger yard. At the time, it had been widely reported that Tony Rezko was under federal investigation. Questioned later about the timing of the Rezko deal, Obama called it "boneheaded" because people might think the Rezkos had done him a favor.
Back to Jarrett.
She has dibs in property that is slated for demolision, Grove Parc, a ghetto. She also is President and chief executive in a company named Habitat Company which developes and manages of residential, Condo's and Low Income Housing. Habitat Company stands to get the contract for any development of Grove Parc if the Olympics come to town.
Why the Republicans didn't go after Obama during the Presidential campaign on this issue is beyond me. Obama was involved by being the attorney for several developement companies that dealt with low income housing that all had done shady work gone bust and one of the companies was owned by Tony Rezko and Valerie Jarrett.
