If you think Obama's association with a racist, black separatist "pastor" who is cahoots with Lybians and Louis Farrakahan, get ready for some more bad news for Obama.

Obama has had to admit his involvement with the Slumlord, Tony Rezko, who is now on Federal trial for corruption, among other things, is way deeper than Obama previously stated (translation: lied about).

Rezko could have donated as much as $250,000 to Obama's campaigns over the years -- much more than the $60,000 to $70,000 Obama's campaign initially estimated, Obama said.

Rezko is standing trial on unrelated charges that he used his influence to control jobs and appointments to state boards in Gov. Blagojevich’s administration and that Rezko got kickbacks. Obama is not implicated in the indictment.

"The larger problem is me purchasing the strip of land," Obama said. "At that point it was clearer he was going to have significant legal problems. For me to enter into a business transaction with him was . . . a boneheaded move." --> Obama admits he is involved with Rezko. He is admitting to one deal now, just wait until we find out that is a lie and Obama is involved in more than that!!

This is like the pastor story. First Obama says he never heard the racist, anti-American statements.... the next day he is forced to admit he had heard the statements before and doesn't agree with them.... and yet he continues to attend such church!

Exclamation The smoking gun - Obama and Rezko live together, under a shoddy real estate deal

How funny is this....

Obama and Rezko live on the same lot!!!

Oh and Rezko helped Obama get this place for 1/3 of it's appraised value..... is that with one of these deals that Rezko is now looking at prison time for???

Check it out and see the evidence for yourself:



This corner lot formerly owned by Antoin "Tony" Rezko's wife, Rita, is next door to the home (right) of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood.

Agreed. All this talk of Obama is mainly because he is in the lead. I'll get worried when people stop talking about him (sorry Ron Paul supporters - it would be helpful to the debate if he still had a voice in this thing, though).

Glad you brought the Rezko topic up. Obama says he and Rezko are still "friends".

Obama did not get a cut price for his house and is not involved in Rezko's corruption trial. Nice try but no cigar.

I think you have your quotes mixed up. Perhaps what you meant to say is "Where is smoking, fire is waiting; depending on what your definition of 'is' is."
