Obama/Rezko dealings spell big trouble

[lawgator1]

I read that the Rezko guy just got arrested. He's about to go on trial and apparently the prosecutors want to revoke his bail -- don't know why.

At any rate, Obama bought a house for below market value on the same day Rezko's wife buys a lot next door and then sells a portion to Obama for less than value. Obama says he did five hours' worth of legal work for the man, but he donates or is tied to at least $80,000 of contributions to his presidential campaign. And as a senator, Obama apparently supported a couple of the guy's projects.

This is exactly the kind of inside wheeler-dealer shenannigans that he is running against. So much for change.

The Associated Press: Indicted Obama Fundraiser Rezko Arrested

A few excerpts:

Obama has been accused of no wrongdoing involving Rezko or anyone else.
-----
Earlier this month, Obama gave to charity more than $40,000 in past political contributions from seven individuals with ties to Rezko. The decision to donate the money contributed to Obama's House and Senate campaigns — but not his current presidential bid
-----
When prosecutors unsealed their charges against Rezko in 2006, Obama gave $11,500 in Rezko contributions to charities.

I would have loved to have seen the look on Hillary's face after she brought of Rezko and then was shown this picture:

Everybody thought the GOP primary would turn nasty, but the Democratic primary is turning into a major mud bath.
