Pretty interesting.
Maybe he had no "interest" by some parameters....but he strikes me as someone who becomes obsesses and wouldn't let go ,in general......but, again, it's just an observation.
What I'm saying - ALL politicians have involvement do various degrees....some are more corrupt then others.

"ShoreBank is the oldest and largest community development bank, founded and headquartered in Chicago. It had $2.6 billion in assets as of 2008.
Although mission-based, the bank's financial performance has historically matched or exceeded that of its peer banks.
Former President and Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton is a prominent supporter of the bank. In 1985, ShoreBank worked closely with Clinton to set up the Southern Development Bancorporation, a community development bank serving rural Arkansans. Clinton described ShoreBank as "the most important bank in America" and credited ShoreBank’s success with inspiring a movement of community development financial institutions
Under a grant from the Ford Foundation in the 1980s, ShoreBank worked with Muhammad Yunus to help him incorporate Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. "
Obviously, it's not just "some small bank".

Занятная статья в Chicago Tribune о том, какими методами Президент Линкольн выиграл номинацию от Демократической Партии
Линкольн был кандидатом от Республиканской партии.:-)
His main political objective was to abolish slavery. *Democrat party at the time wanted to keep the slavery.

Rep. Joe Sestak, winner of the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary, is refusing to provide more information on what job he was offered by a White House official to drop of that race, although he confirmed again that the incident occurred.
The White House was backing incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) in the primary. Sestak acknowledged in an interview in February that he was offered a position by an unnamed White House official - a potential violation of federal law - but has not offered any specifics on conversation. Republicans are trying to use the issue against Sestak in the November Senate race.
"It's interesting. I was asked a question about something that happened months earlier, and I felt that I should answer it honestly, and that's all I had to say about it." Sestak said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Anybody else has to decide on what they will say upon their role. That's their responsibility."

Yet Sestak confirmed to NBC's David Gregory that the incident did take place.
"I was offered a job, and I answered that," Sestak said. "Anything that goes beyond that is for others to talk about."
