I mean, you’ve got to be kidding me:
Illinois Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias is threatening to pull state business from Wells Fargo & Co. unless the bank stops trying to liquidate a company that makes suits for President Barack Obama.
Giannoulias made the ultimatum outside a Hartmarx Corp. factory in Des Plaines Thursday. Chicago-based Hartmarx is the nation’s largest maker of men’s tailored clothing.
The name “Giannoulias” struck a bell, and then I remembered he’s an Obama protege – picked out early for elective office by the fast-rising Obama and now being groomed for a Senate run to obtain Obama’s former seat. I also remembered that Giannoulias was involved in some way with Obama’s partner in Illinois corruption, Tony Rezko – the Giannoulias family bank did a lot of business with Rezko. So, what we have here is the Illinois Democrat political mafia calling for a hit on someone who isn’t willing to pay protection (in this case, in the form of keeping employed a lot of SEIU union members who’s dues go in large measure to Democrat party coffers)…”that’s a nice, little financial institution you’ve got there, Mr. Fargo. Be a shame if anything was to happen to it…”. After all, its not like Obama’s got more going for him than tailoring and teleprompters, right? Wells Fargo is placing 50% of the Obama mystique at risk…
