Marathon Pundit: The real story of an Obama Chicago fundraising event

Last night Senator Barack Obama was back in Illinois, the state he represents in the US Senate on those rare occasions he is not on the campaign trail. He was in Chicago attending two fundraising events.

From a Reverse Spin blog entry yesterday:

One of Barack Obama's headline supporters tonight at a big fundraiser in Chicago is John Rogers Jr., a man who benefitted from "change." That change was a clout-inspired decision to keep a state pension investment contract even though pension holders were getting short-"changed."

Read all about it here. I added my two cents here.

Oh, and Rogers also was a huge pay-to-play recipient of the Rod Blagojevich fundraising machine, which the federal government is in the process of declaring illegal.

Look for NBC and the rest of Obama-fawning MSM to jump right on this story.
