[polichick]

1. Yikes nt

[zulchzulu]

2. Can of worms. You are now open. Hillary took the bait.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

6. Hillary took the bait? Rezko is an Obama scandal and now it's out

[LSK]

15. its been "out" for over a year and has gone nowhere

[Proud2BAmurkin]

18. Nobody touched it including Clinton, but gloves came off.

[LSK]

24. it has about as much merit as Whitewater which is nothing

[Tellurian]

20. She nailed Obama between the eyes!

[rodeodance]

26. yes, but Obama just gave $$ to charity last Saturday

[Tellurian]

37. ...

:rofl:

[Proud2BAmurkin]

3. The story is out now. Everyone was tiptoeing around it. Obama opened the door.

[AX10]

4. Rezko is one of his middle names.

[pstans]

5. Below the belt

[MoonRiver]

7. Why?

[pstans]

49. Because I didn't see Obama's line

so I take it back I guess.

[AGirl]

8. Obama started it first.

[Occam Bandage]

9. Good luck with that shit. A nothin'-there "scandal" isn't exactly going to help your case.

Also, you still haven't apologized--as you claimed you would--for that debunked RW hit-piece on Obama, have you?

[ruggerson]

11. neither will sitting on the board of WalMart

[Little Star]

48. Again, Oh dear lord. You really need to use google more often.

NY Times article from June 2007
An Obama Patron and Friend Until an Indictment
By CHRISTOPHER DREW and MIKE McINTIRE
Published: June 14, 2007

snip>
Mr. Obama has portrayed Mr. Rezko as a one-time fund-raiser whom he had occasionally seen socially. But interviews with more than a dozen political and business associates suggest that the two men were closer than the senator has indicated.

Mr. Obama turned to Mr. Rezko for help at several important junctures. Records show that when Mr. Obama needed cash in the waning days of his losing 2000 Congressional campaign, Mr. Rezko rounded up thousands of dollars from business contacts. In 2003, Mr. Rezko helped Mr. Obama expand his fund-raising for the Senate primary by being host of a dinner at his Mediterranean-style home for 150 people, including some whose names have since come up in the influence scandal.

And when Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, bought a house in 2005, Mr. Rezko stepped in again. Even though his finances were deteriorating, Mr. Rezko arranged for his wife to buy an adjacent lot, and she later sold the Obamas a 10-foot-wide strip of land that expanded their yard.

The land sale occurred after it had been reported that Mr. Rezko was under federal investigation. That awkward fact prompted Mr. Obama, who has cast himself as largely free from the normal influences of politics, to express regret over what he called his own bad judgment.snip<

This needs to be vetted long before he gets the nomination of the Dem party. We don't need the R's bringing this to the table when it will be to late for our party. This crap is pretty damning, can anyone spell RICO?

[Windy]

10. this was a huge mistake by Hillary. It will bite her. she looks like the shill she is.

I hope this continues. She needs to be shown to the people for the awful old school dirt slinger that she is!

[Proud2BAmurkin]

I'll see your WALMART and raise you one REZKO. Rezko is worse. Much much worse.

[Occam Bandage]

14. For Clinton, yes. Obama's clean as a whistle in this.

[benddem]

16. What the hell is

REZKO? I must be out of the loop.

[Occam Bandage]

19. It's a rather lame attempt at linking Obama to a minor Chicago scandal.

It has been pretty obvious for the last year that he isn't related to the affair at all. However, now that we're getting into primary crunch time, the Clinton campaign is pushing hard to make it sound like there's something there.

[Tellurian]

33. Obama will have to testify under oath..

There has been reportage of investigative journalist at a Chicago newspaper of Obama's deep involvement with Rezko.. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

[ClericJohnPreston]

35. MINOR??????

Patrick Fizgerald is "minor" to you?

An issue which goes to the character of your candidate? Minor?

Bwahahahahahahaahhahah!!!

Wake up Obaminations!

[Occam Bandage]

42. And what exactly did Obama do wrongly? Like Clinton and Hsu, you can't expect

them to have a crystal ball.

[ClericJohnPreston]

45. I'm an Edwards fan..he doesn't have a problem in his closet.

[Occam Bandage]

46. LOL. Yes, his Senate record is *spotless.*

(He doesn't have any fundraising problems because nobody thinks he's worth sending money to.)

[pstans]

51. People know Wal Mart, they live in a Wal Mart world

People don't know Rezko and won't take the time to get to know it (if it is even something at all).

[Tellurian]

31. How come your prognistications never come true?

[bunnies]

12. And what exactly did Obama do wrong re: Rezko?

Oh yeah.. nothing.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

17. Long time contributor up on charges of FRAUD EXTORTION AND MONEY LAUNDERING

[bunnies]

22. Oh... like Hsu? nt

[Tellurian]

39. Hsu, didn't receive government contracts for low income housing..

at the behest of his state legislator.. Rezko did. Obama got him the contracts..

[Occam Bandage]

23. And all evidence shows Obama wasn't remotely involved in anything shady, and returned 1/20

the amount of money Clinton had to return from Hsu.

[Tellurian]

40. What your talking about has nothing to do with the Rezko/Obama case

[ClericJohnPreston]

53. I'm a lawyer

Do you have access to a Federal Prosecutor's evidence?

Didn't think so.....but, you did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, which makes you an expert! :rofl:

[rodeodance]

27. His name surfaces--last Sat. Chicago Tribune. Patrick Fritzgeral is investigating

[bunnies]

30. I read that article.

Didnt it say that Obama had done nothing wrong?

[Tellurian]

41. No, it named Obama as a party of interest....

per the Federal Prosecutor's office, Patrick Fitzgerald.

[michaz]

13. Clinton and Obama both look and are acting like fools!

It is enough to make my blood run cold! Edwards can take full advantage of these two bickering nit wits!

[cali]

21. Word: Obama returned $40,000. hellary had to return $850,000

from Hsu, and the feds are still investigating. Hypocrisy for Hellary. Who woulda thunk?

[bunnies]

25. Bingo! nt

[Jim Sagle]

54. Hellary? Nice freep job on a major candidate.

[kelligesq]

28. Hey, I'm not a hill fan, but she is doing terriffic - hitting him good - n

she's right - he keeps saying they;re not factually accurate

she says he never takes responsibility for what he says

she's right

[rodeodance]

29. but everybody and their mother takes her to take to take responsibility!

[BootinUp]

32. I think I heard "slum lord" in there too. lol. nt

[dogman]

34. A lot of press in Chicago.

[Edgewater_Joe]

36. And She Damn Near Got Booed Offstage For It

Not once but twice.

And she looks like she can't get a cab every time she's staring at Obama.

All the negatives about Hillary are coming up by the bushel tonight.

Watch your emoticons. She's killing herself.

[gulliver]

38. It sounded like "Oooh" to me. n/t

[Little Star]

47. You need new ears. They were whoopin cause she had the ovaries

to hit back with it. He is in some real shit for his MANY friendship deals with that mobster Rezko. Don't fool yourself.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

50. I heard cheers, laughter, and loud whistles.

[CyberPieHole]

43. I want to know what Obama's thoughts are on Jermiah Wright/Louis Farrakhan connection...

that is what I am waiting for...But I am glad that she brought up Rezko it was about time.

[Occam Bandage]

44. I'd think if you were waiting, you'd have maybe tried looking.
