In a Tribune story a year ago, Obama defended special earmarks for his district in state budgets while he was a state legislator, including one that went to programs associated with Pfleger's church.

"It happens that there were major supporters in my district who had been supporters before they got member initiatives," Obama said then, noting that some of his contributors had been his allies for years.

Pfleger gave Obama's campaign $1,500 between 1995 and 2001, including $200 in April 2001, about three months after Obama announced $225,000 in grants to St. Sabina programs.
