    “Piece of advice, JB… maybe let the hair go a little gray. Will make you look distinguished and less like Blago.”

    “President Obama, I am honored and grateful…”

    “Penny told me to tell you to hold your powder on running, JB. She’s looking into options after DC… “

    “Careful, Mr. President, that’s my check-writing hand. We wouldn’t want to upset the folks at Northwestern.”


  13. - PublicServant - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 10:00 am:

    Mr. President, I understand you’ll shortly be between jobs. We’re in need of an actual governor here in Illinois. If you run, I’ll be your wingman…


  14. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 10:00 am:

    “I can fly to DC to help with an Ad or I’ll fly you back to Chicago for an endorsement, Mr. President, you let me know… “

    Snucka broke the internet with that one. Hilarious!

    Please don’t support Kennedy in the primary–I have a much better elevator pitch.

    @FakeJBPritzker - sharing a quiet moment with a future supporter. Thanks for seeking me out #LooksLikeLinking


  19. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 10:15 am:

    @FakeJBPritzker - attended a small event for President Obama, talked policy, Illinois, & broad topics pertinent to our state’s future. #MaximizingTheMinute


  20. - consistently Inconsistent - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 10:15 am:

    Mr. President…. Could you get me Hillary’s autograph?

    Well…I agree you’ve got the chops.

    Grabbing a grip on politics


  24. - marrs96 - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 10:45 am:

    It is too bad Pritzker’s also lining up the Jackson’s (Jonathan Jackson (Jesse’s son/Jr’s brother is the other face of note in picture…))


  25. - Behind the Scenes - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 10:50 am:

    Gee… He only got a left-handed shake.


  26. - Anonymous - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 10:52 am:

    O/T but the exchange between Jesse Jackson and Obama was one for the books. Not a fan of JJ, but felt sad for the old man when his arm kept reaching for the president long after he had moved on. That gesture kinda says it all…


  27. - Rabid - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 11:02 am:

    You in the medical marijuana? Heard you bankrolled “ounce of prevention”


  28. - Sigh - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 11:02 am:

    President Obama: JB, it’s all about ground game, brother. The people of Illinois love me and they will love you too.

    While former Governor Pat Quinn slides his hand past the bodyguard, saying: But, I have more experience. The people of Illinois love me.


  29. - Sue - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 11:06 am:

    Was that Chris Christie coming in for another career making hug?

    …Mr. President, remember that plan we talked about to take down Rauner? I’m on it.

  41. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 5:02 pm:

    @FakeJBPritzker - you can’t see it, but POTUS said to me he’d back me for Governor, 100% #BackHeadedCompliment


  42. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 5:05 pm:

    @FakeJBPritzker - My goal is to make this screen capture into the most important television ad ever created from the back of a head #BackHeadedEndorsement


  43. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jan 11, 17 @ 5:08 pm:

    @FakeJBPritzker - Here I’m trying to keep POTUS from leaving while Chris Kennedy is trying to leave an elevator #UpsAndDows
