Penny Pritzker is Obama's campaign finance manager.

Multi Billionaire. Responsible for the Subprime Mortgage crisis. CONTROLS one of the main credit bureaus in the US.

"Penny Pritzker is an American billionaire (net worth $2.8 billion USD), the granddaughter of Abram Nicholas Pritzker and the niece of Jay Pritzker. She is the Founder/Chairman/CEO of Classic Residence by Hyatt, a luxury senior living communites spread throughtout the United States.

She is ranked 135th on the 2007 Forbes list of richest Americans. She has sat on Harvard's Board of Overseers since 2002, and is active in numerous philanthropic and civic endeavors, including Chicago's Millennium Park. She has also developed a Chicago skyscraper, been president of commercial and residential real estate firms, and served as chairman for a major credit-reporting company. Currently, she is the national finance chairwoman of Barack Obama's presidential campaign.

On Febraury 20, 2008, Flashpoints Radio produced an investigative report segment into how Penny Pritzker, the 2008 campaign finance chairman for Barack Obama, was a key mover and shaker in creating the current predatory lending (aka. sub-prime) crisis. According to bank scandal investigative reporter Tim Anderson, Superior Bank, FSB of Hinsdale, Illinois, which was owned by the Pritzker family and overseen by Penny Pritzker until closed by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named Receiver. Superior Bank developed the original mortgage securitation package, putting mortgages into a bond and then selling the bond. Along with Merrill Lynch and their accountants at Ernst & Young LLP began the process of turning the American Dream into the American Nightmare for millions of low and middle income Americans."

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Pritzker & http://www.forbes.com/lists/2005/11/CDNP.html

So one of the wealthiest people in the world, who helped *create* the subprime mortgage crisis is his campaign finance manager.
Yes, he is a man of the people who shuns big money.

GET REAL!
