On Obama: A different type of politics, to be sure. Making corrupt deals with mob-connected thugs to win union endorsements

Please take the time to read Ace’s post regarding Obama’s Corrupt Promise to End the Feds’ Supervision of the Teamsters to Reduce Mob Influence. Cited in his post is this quote from a TNR report:
If there is continuing mob influence in the Teamsters, it is probably centered in the Chicago area. And in the last decade, the Teamsters in Chicago have shown little enthusiasm for rooting out corruption in their ranks. As a veteran Chicago politician surrounded by a veteran Chicago campaign staff, Obama had to have known this–and that makes his warm words to the Teamsters all the more disturbing.

Perhaps this is the change Obama keeps talking about? Adding mob corruption to the process?
No SALE here, Obama.

Only amongst the Democrats.

One would think that Patrick Fitzgerald could do something about the mob and the UAW in Chicago!
