Obama's name surfaced in the Rezko trial today, who knew?

He didn't exhibit good judgment on this real estate transaction, but that's ok, we should accept his judgment on everything else as he suggests we should, right? "It's not just who's ready on Day 1; it's who's right on Day 1". If he's so upstanding why doesn't he move his precious family out of this home that resulted from his "boneheaded" mistake.

Obama is no doubt as dirty as other politicians from chicago.
I have no doubt that he has not said everything about his link to Redzko.

I can not see anything concrete on this article. This kind of journalism is putting off many if not every one!

This is just the beginning of the good
judgement calls Obama makes. Should be
interesting the rest of this trial.

So Obama's name was mentioned as someone Rezko tried to hire out of law school but Obama turned him down.

Wow, that's so damning... Not.

Um, what exactly is the news here?

I think more murky details about Obama-Rezko dealings will emerge as this trial progresses. People like Rezko don't put huge amounts of money in someone's campaign or help someone buy a house without first ensuring that they'll get their money's worth.

Could it be that the senior SDs are smart enough to know that they should remain uncommitted pending the outcome of this trial? LOL

hilllary clinton has got money from Redzko she knew him and he gave her champan some mony also so why is they froceing him ask her how do she no him thats why she no he gave him some money because he no bill clinton and her and he has given bush money also

This is simply bias,, thus guy has scored outstanding and substancial victories. Stop being negetive,, i know some of u folks are here to help Hilary but its rather too late,, now she is clamouring for delegates from Florida and Michigan,, no wonder Chaucer once said a drowning man is ready to clinge even on the tail of the lizard to survive,, this race is all over, do ur mathematics... no matter what happens Obama is the one..

Has hilary ever been president in her life,, what experience has she got,, now they wanna do all they could to link obama to REZKO.. its never gonna work.. she has no experience,, the only experience she has is to avoid a divorce simply because she had whimsical intentions to be president someday,,

AMERICA IS NOT A FAMILY PROPERTY.

Yep -- this guy is certainly typical of many previous democratic nominees. There seems to be some on-going connection between corruption, democrats and Chicago.

Does anybody know of an honest politician that has come from Chicago. And lived?

In one of the debates when Sen Clinton mentioned Obama's association with Tony Rezko, Obama dismissed it by saying, "I only billed 5 hours in a case representing "that individual"
On one of the programs on ABC, I think it was GMA, when asked about Tony Rezko, Obama said that Tony Rezko has been a long time friend and supporter of his. How did Rezko go from "that individual" to being "a long time friend and supporter" ?
I think more murkier details about Obama's dealings with Rezko will emerge as the trial progresses.

It's hilarious for someone from the corrupt Chicago political machine to act all holier than thou. Puh-lease. Get real. If you're a democrat from Chicago, you're dirty. Period.

Obama himself admitted that he showed poor judgment with regards to Rezko citing that a 'dark cloud' was over Rezko's head. Now, he's touting his judgment as a reason to vote for him. Huh? Did I miss something?

I look at it this way, Obama was a friend of his and his friend got in trouble. Did you ever have a friend who got in trouble? Does that mean your judgment is impaired on all things because you were once his friend? Nothing - repeat - nothing has ever been shown that in any way suggests Obama ever did anything wrong or illegal.

I am from Chicago and living here all my life and as well know well here, no one, no one can rise so fast, so quickly and be "friend' with all the local corporations, corrupt political machine for nothing in exchange. This trial will open a judgment in Obama's character one theme he has made cornerstone of his campaign! Obama made alot of "bone heads" mistakes and bad judgments, no only with Rezko; but supporting the Strugger for President of Cook County or Alexis for State Treasury and the State Attorney General so they can stop all the law suits for the political machine. That's the same machine that is pouring money into his campaign and is masterfully had created the hype about Obama. They had masterfully planned his run for the Presidency before he got elected for the Senate and that why the same Loobys that had supported his career in Illinois are funneling money thru his surrogates. One good thing about this trial is that it will open Pandora box of corruption by the Democrats in the same way that the Ryan's trial did for the Republicans in Illinois.

Unfortunately for millions of Americans, we have already contributed millions of dollars because we believed in this man. Why is this all just now coming fully to light? Where has the press been all this time?

So, how much of Obama's campaign dollars are going to fund Rezko's defense team?

Obama cannot hide from this Rezko problem. How could he not know what a corrupt individual Rezko was? Was Obama that naive or just to involved in being in politics to care. Did obama use indicted campaign fund-raiser Rezko as a conduit to get jobs for people in Gov. Bisgojevich's administration? Questions about the house Obama bought, with Rezko help? Obama was politically motivated to bring home large grants from Springfield that were tied to political allies. One wonders what he did for those political allies while in the senate?

Obama is a crook
