The big question is where did Obama get the Rezko picture to leak to Drudge?
Most likely Obama is still in contact with his slumlord buddy and called in a favor.

28. "Slum" is racist, you little twerp?
So only black people came out of the slums? WHO LIVED THERE BEFORE THEM???? ALL OF US!!!

The Jews. The Italians. The Irish. Any immigrant who never stepped off the Mayflower.

God, the bloody fucking ignorance of some people.

HOW DARE YOU CO-OPT THE SLUMS?????

Better people than you'll ever be clawed their way out.

12. That's about the only person who would have it
or the photographer, from an old negative.

I've had it with the craven Obama campaign. He never stops disgusting me. First it was the exgay garbage, and then more exgay garbage and now stooping to low tactics to deflect the criticism from his relationship with his BFF Rezko.

To Obama and his supporters - Obama's fake persona is no longer working. More and more people are seeing through the nice speeches to see the Dorian Gray picture of the craven candidate Obama.

27. Right from the Bush playbook
remember when he tried to pin Ken Lay on Ann Richards? Because he once donated to her campaign? It was just as pathetic as this.

13. Drudge probably got it from one of Clinton's friends
There are many friends and former Clinton administration people who are already speaking out against the way the Clintons have been running their campaign.

Maybe Robert Reich had enough?

18. Sometimes a picture says a thousand words. Other times, like this, it says nothing...
because there's no time frame and no context. When did they meet? What were the circumstances? What if any relationship did they have beyond Rezko possible showing up on a White House tour and managing to get a picture of himself standing with the Clintons?

This is the kind of "dirty" politics Drudge is known for. For Obama to get ahold of this picture and send it to Drudge for publication without explanation makes him, not Hillary look bad, IMHO.

19. Hell, it came from Rezko himself
it's the type of picture people keep and put up on the wall or desk. It's Rezko's picture of himself with the Clintons. Rezko gave it to Obama.

34. Rezko was probably laughing when Hillary brought it up.
He knew he was going to make her pay and probably didn't like being called a slumlord.

That is my guess.
