Why is this a story? Because it's about corruption and power wrapped up in a giant big burrito of race politics and taxpayer cash. And it hits inside the fellowship ring Barak Obama brought to the presidency.
Remember, like Bill Clinton before him, Obama had baggage he wanted to leave at the airport in Chicago when he ran for the presidency. For Bill it was the trail of trysts and rumors of rape. For Obama is was the Rev Wright and his frothing, pulpit-pounding, country-hating sermons that made some of us suspect Obama may not carry the correct set of principles into the whitehouse.
Now we know. Obama hasn't brought love of country nor competency and character to the job, but it's way, way, way too late now.
Corruption doesn't fall far from the tree of temptation. Jeri Wright stole money from taxpayer funded poverty projects, and Jesse Jackson Jr. did pretty much the same thing except it was campaign cash.
The irony? Jeri raided the tax payer funded program 'We Are Our Brother's Keeper.' Jeri must have misunderstood and substituted 'We Keep Our Brothers Wallets.'
