It does not help you to lie for your Political Jesus, or you deny to admit what you know of being the truth.

Just to refresh you memory that is not sufficient for your tiny brain: Rezko and wife helped 0-bama to purchase his Mansion because otherwise 0-bama has not yet deceived enough money from his books from you to be able to purchase it alone. Then, 0-bama purchased the land that Rezko bought, in helping him buying the house without being caught of bribery, at below market value.

All these were done at a time when Rezko was known being indicted criminally, which has since been convicted and will be sentenced on September 4.

It's a perfect blend of criminals, money, land deals, deception, and kick backs. If you ask why would Rezko help his buddy, the "honorable" freshman Senator from Illinois, you can count how many housing projects Rezko has obtained from the legislations that 0-bama has helped to bring back to "his" district.

Are any of BHO's associations actually hard working Americans who love this country? Rezko is but one example on a long list.

This is what Wikipedia says about McCain's involvement in the Keating Five scandal. The scandal that caused the savings and loan crisis in the late 1980's. The crisis that caused thousands of innocent American's to loose their life savings. (Even if McCain wasn't guilty it certainly gives reasons to question his judgement.)

QUOTE: "McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial contacts in 1981.[8] Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in lawful[14] political contributions from Keating and his associates.[15] In addition, McCain's wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard Keating's jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating's opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln.[6][16]"

Even though he wasn't found guilty of anything, it sure does seem like McCain was in bed with this guy. As they say, where there is smoke, there usually is fire.

as the article indicates it turns out none of these houses are owned by j. mccain. they are all owned by cindy.

"Obama Engaged In Deal With Convicted Felon To Get Deal On House That Had Four Fireplaces And A Wine Cellar:

Obama Paid $300,000 Less Than The Asking Price For His Mansion, While Tony Rezko’s Wife Paid Full Price For A Vacant Lot Next Door On The Very Same Day. “Two years ago, Obama bought a mansion on the South Side, in the Kenwood neighborhood, from a doctor. On the same day, [Antoin 'Tony'] Rezko’s wife, Rita Rezko, bought the vacant lot next door from the same seller. The doctor had listed the properties for sale together. He sold the house to Obama for $300,000 below the asking price. The doctor got his asking price on the lot from Rezko’s wife.” (Tim Novak, “Obama And His Rezko Ties,” Chicago Sun-Times, 4/23/07)

The Seller Of Obama’s Home “Wanted To Sell Both Properties At The Same Time.” “On the same day Obama closed on his house, Rezko’s wife bought the adjacent empty lot, meeting the condition of the seller who wanted to sell both properties at the same time.” (Brian Ross and Rhonda Schwartz, “The Rezko Connection,” ABC News’ “The Blotter” Blog, abcnews.go.com, 1/10/08)

Obama Later Purchased A Portion Of Rezko’s Land For $104,500; It Was Valued At $40,500. “Later, the Obamas bought a 10-foot-by-150-foot piece of the lot for $104,500. An appraisal put the value of the strip at $40,500, a spokesman said, but Obama considered it fair to pay one-sixth of the original price for one-sixth of the lot.” (Peter Slevin, “Obama Says He Regrets Land Deal With Fundraiser,” The Washington Post, 12/17/06)

Rezko Was Convicted Of Wire And Mail Fraud, Money Laundering, And Aiding And Abetting Bribery. “A federal jury today convicted developer Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko of corruption charges for trading on his clout as a top adviser and fundraiser to Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Rezko’s guilty verdict on 16 of 24 corruption counts could have broad repercussions for Blagojevich, who made Rezko a central player in his kitchen cabinet. It could also prove a political liability for U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, who once counted Rezko as a friend and fundraiser, as the likely Democratic presidential nominee heads into the general election campaign against Republican John McCain. … The jury convicted Rezko of wire and mail fraud, money laundering and aiding and abetting bribery. He was acquitted of attempted extortion.” (Bob Secter and Jeff Coen, “Rezko Convicted Of Corruption,” Chicago Tribune, 6/4/08)

NOTE: The 3 Story House Has Four Fireplaces And A Wine Cellar. “When Obama and his wife, Michelle, a hospital executive, decided to move with their two young girls from their Hyde Park condominium, they chose a spacious three-story Georgian revival home on a tree-lined street in the Kenwood neighborhood, not far from the University of Chicago. The owner had listed the house — nearly 100 years old, with four fireplaces and a wine cellar — and an adjacent lot as separate parcels.” (Peter Slevin, “Obama Says He Regrets Land Deal With Fundraiser,” The Washington Post, 12/17/06)"

If John McCain hadn't cheated on his first wife Carol with the rich princess/heiress Cindy, he wouldn't have any of those seven homes!

Guess it pays to commit adultery with the daughter of a rich businessman. Way to go, John. You made your father proud.

Ooooo...McCantrememberhowmanyhomes is backed into the corner so he recycles the old manufactured smear. The Tribune and Sun-Times cleared Obama of any wrongdoing several months ago. Weak.

sonia trevino, That's the deflection? these are actually his mistress...i mean wife's homes? LoL! Attaboy John. Way to marry up.

"The Tribune and Sun-Times cleared Obama of any wrongdoing several months ago."

Swell. Maybe they'll clear Rezko too. Oops, too late. Now tell me what difference it makes how many houses McCain's wife owns.

"I'm going to that shoe sale at Macy's. And Roger, get a new tie please."

LOL, Great line.

"Are any of BHO's associations actually hard working Americans who love this country?"

Nah. He wouldn't associate with typical Americans that cling to their bibles and guns.

Sonia Trevino wrote: "as the article indicates it turns out none of these houses are owned by j. mccain. they are all owned by cindy."

They are married, it is community property. What she owns is his, and what he owns is hers. (I wonder if John would have married Cindy if she had been poor, or if she had scars on her face from a car accident, like his first wife?)

James, I'm sure that you applied that same logic to John Kerry, right?

Keating 5 will not be an issue for McCain. IT was more the 20 years old. McCain has done so much for this country, and his achievements in senate has already help him regain people's trust and respect. But Obama has nothing -- has no record, no achievements. His questionable associates will come out as big headache for him. He has not gained people's trust (including me). No matter how sound his policies he tout to be, I just don't feel he deserves Americans giving him the president job. He didn't earn it!!!

Right on Amy...He didn't EARN his Senate seat either. As for his policies,...you never know with that man. One day he is AGAINST FISA the next he is FOR IT!

I think THAT is what he meant by needing to be BI-lingual! lol!

PUMA

Rezko is not a "dead issue." It's a part of Obama's political past that is real and was never fully investigated by the "in the tank" for Obama media. I think those seeing the ad will question his judgement, and it doesn't matter if people who have time to blog think it is a dead issue. It matters what people sitting in front of the TV eating dinner and watching TV think.

Obama just opened the door to his crooked Tony Rezko dealing & his house.

BIG ERROR BY THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN

Obama's shrinking lead.....ruh ro....that convention better give them that "bump" they have all been waiting for. Even Kerry had a 14 point lead at this point.
Just heard mysterious white powder sent to McCain offices in Denver and cops all over the place...25 employess sent home.....I WONDER who would be behind this? A manical Obot or unrepentent terriorist, or anti american reverend, or slum lord criminal....wow Obama's side getting very desperate.
