    Obama grant being probed

    I'd say on par with "Troopergate." I'm sure the press will jump right on this with vigor.

    Obama's actions in awarding the money are not a focus of the investigation, Smith said.
    Palin's actions are very much the focus of the Troopergate investigation, so chalk up another fail for desperate Yoni.

    So a campaign volunteer (not a paid member of the campaign staff, merely a volunteer - a tenuous connection) from a prior election (I must disclose that I am also a campaign volunteer) may have misused grant money....? And this affects Obama how...?

    Plus, you must have missed this part -

    Attorney General Lisa Madigan -- a Democrat who is supporting Obama's presidential bid -- is investigating "whether this charitable organization properly used its charitable assets, including the state funds it received," Cara Smith, Madigan's deputy chief of staff, said Wednesday.

    In addition to the 2001 grant that Obama directed to the housing association as a "member initiative," the not-for-profit group got a separate $20,000 state grant in 2006.

    Madigan's office has notified Obama's presidential campaign of the probe, which was launched this week. But Obama's actions in awarding the money are not a focus of the investigation, Smith said.
    There's a reason the media won't be on this thing....

    His cable package only gets the religious and public access channels. I think that explains a lot.
