From: Millionaires fill US Congress halls

By Jean-Louis Santini

"Members of Congress are recruited not from (an) ordinary cross section of America occupations," said Thomas Mann, a Congress expert at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank.

"There has been an increasing tendency for parties to seek out individuals who can self-finance at least part of their campaigns, and that has over time led to more wealthy people serving in Congress," Mann said."

This is often true-----and then there are people like Obama who write fictional half truths about his life-----then sell his books to raise the $ to finance his campaign with early money-----and move to a better part of Chicago with Rezko's help.

His only real work experience being that of being a street Organizer in Chicago.

The Brookings Institute should know as they are a part of the Democrat support mechanism in D.C.


What has happened to Rezko-------that story seems to have disappeared and become quiet
