Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune is now speculating that none other than the President-elect's soon to be chief of staff RE. I am not sure right now.

I'll throw out a few things that kind of make ya go 'hmmmm'.....

1. The media has stated that Valerie Jarrett was BHO's choice to succeed him.
BTW Ms. Jarrett is the Chairman of the same board that MO is also
salaried member, University of Chicago Medical Center (Hospital) see prior post.
Another small tidbit, Ms. Jarrett was Mayor Daley's deputy chief of staff who hired a Michelle Robinson to work for the city. Michelle was engaged at the time. Valerie has been on Daley's good side, getting a city paycheck till 2005. I will not rehash her role in BHO's campaign or transition team.

2. Media speculation after BHO's win was that RE would be the logical choice for the vacant senate seat. A Democrat who has a spotless rep in Illinois (sounds like a contradiction, see; hasn't been caught) and can campaign well enough to hold the seat when the election rolled around. Wouldn't happen though because BHO immediately tabbed him to be COS.

My problem with the 1st scenario is this: why would BHO throw his wife's friend/benefactor under the bus. If RE was approached for the purpose of quid pro quo, why not use RE to further the investo igation. Looks better if his camp helped to promote change. Jarrett would come out smelling like a rose.
