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.
