We now have another friend to add to Obama's list of cozy buddies.
Have you heard of Dorothy Tillman?
New to me?
Chicago Politics.......

Dorothy Tillman supports Obama and Obama supports Dorothy Tillman.

Last week Obama endorsed Dorothy Tillman for re-election. Tillman was forced into a runoff after her opponents failed to agree on a single candidate to oppose her. Tillman was an early supporter of Obama's in his rise to prominence over the past decade. And Tillman is a disgrace.

Her favorite pastime is abusing banks and financial institutions that want to do business with the city of Chicago. A regular feature of council proceedings is Tillman flaying banks for "owning slaves" at some remote point in history over 150 years ago.


Tillman has been quoted as saying her goal is to "repair the damage of 400 years" of slavery. "America owes us," Tillman demands (Sun-Times march 26, 2007). And yes, Obama has endorsed this carnival-style extortionist for re-election.

Another hate America, get even friend.
