8 Things You Need To Know About Obama and Rezko
January 24th, 2008 at 01:28pm Matt Margolis
If you watched the Democrats debate on Monday, you’d have seen Barack Obama gave a weak defense of his connections to Tony Rezko.
BLITZER: I’m going to go to Suzanne Malveaux in a second, but I just want to give you a chance, Senator Obama, if you want to respond. Senator Clinton made a serious allegation that you worked for a slumlord. And I wonder if you want to respond.
OBAMA: I’m happy to respond. Here’s what happened: I was an associate at a law firm that represented a church group that had partnered with [Tony Rezko] to do a project and I did about five hours worth of work on this joint project. That’s what she’s referring to.
Obama would like people to believe that this is the full extent of his connection to Tony Rezko… but it’s not.
The Chicago Sun-Times gives us 8 things you should know about the connections between the two, and of course you can check out our file on Obama at No Agenda.

I can hear Sunny now. I’m looking at all Republican candidates and am undecided. But why do you keep slinging mud at “Barak”? He is such a nice, fresh face and will be good the USA. He wants change. And after 8 years of the axis of evil, we need a fresh face so America will look better to the world, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran and Syria. We need friends now, not the enemies created by Dubya, I’m sorry, that was his middle name I used.
We need a platform of change, and Barak is the man. Although it would be OK to have a woman as POTUS.
Can’t we all just get along?

Matt/Mark,
What the heck is up with all the spam entries?
In the side-bar for recent comments:
*car insurance on Archibishop of Canterbury Truckles to Islam, Condemns United States
*car insurance quotes on Hillary and the Democrats Properly Rated for 2008
*car insurance quotes on Californicated All to Heck and Gone
*free online auto insurance quotes on Spitzer’s Licenses For Illegals Plan Abandoned
*car insurance quotes on FEC Complaint Filed Against Hillary
Seems like more and more each day.

Obama needs to take the gloves off and stop whining about the Clinton’s attacking him. What did he expect from the masters of smear?

Sorry SEW, but Diana’s use was correct–that’s means that has, in the context she used it.
