Mr. McCarty. Thanks for your interest and passing on this on to Bobf -regarding the Pritzker Superior Bank Failure. I was not aware of some of this information that he found regarding the time frame between the investigation of the Superior bank failure and the grooming of Mr. Obama by Penny Pritzker. ( very interesting )
I find it amazing that someone that ruined the lives of 1406 bank depositors has been working as a financial campaign chairman for the most honored postion and respected office in AMERICA.
Mr. Obama talks about THAT DREAM for the American people, 1406 depositors and the hundreds of people that had to stand in block long lines to only find out THAT DREAM was now only a NIGHTMARE. I stood in those lines for hours and witnessed many different age groups but mostly older and elderly people, one man in his 80’s sitting on the curb in front of the bank crying.
After all the devastation this bank failure caused not only to the depositors, but making the taxpayers pay for the LARGEST BANKRUPTCY IN BANKING HISTORY in 2001. Caused by the one of the WEALTHIEST FAMILIES IN AMERICA. .

We always hear about taxes and that everyone should pay their equal share and responsibly, including large corporations, and the wealthy. What portion of the SUPERIOR BANK FAILURE and one of the WEALTHIEST FAMILY IN AMERICA PAY.
This was passed on to the Federal Government the TAXPAYERS.

It’s a amazing that someone that ruined the lives of 1406 bank depositors, this will certainly always be a CHANGE they will never forget or the DEVASTATION this it caused.
THE GREAT DEPRESSION OF THE 1930’s
that happen in 2001.

For more info on the involvement of the Obama campaign’s National Finance Chair in the 2001 Superior Bank S&L Scandal (after this bank engaged in subprime mortgage lending and predatory lending practices), you might want to check the Nov. 8, 2002 article, “Breaking The Bank,” that appeared in In These Times. Following is the link to this article:

John — Believe it or not, it appears USA Today has pulled the article down and I can’t explain why. As I recall, there was much dispute over the amounts involved and who was to blame. The Pritzker family even won a settlement from their accounting firm over the bank’s failure. Who to believe? Who knows, but I’m gonna have to trust my instincts and pass on this one. Thanks anyway.

john courtney -- I'm not terribly familiar with the matter, but did find an article. which seems to contradict -- at least in part -- your claims above. As a result, I'm not going to tackle that one. Thanks anyway!
