When you are a senator you can't except a gift over $ 100.-. This is way more than $ 100.- so he and the other Senators all should be investigated!!!!
Is that how we want the next president to be... shouldn't he be a role model...or a corrupt person who takes everything from discounted land deals to cheaper mortgages while he wants to raise the capital gain taxes so all people who have a 401K will get less when they retire......and I can go on and on... to much on Obama...

No question it was a shady deal. Obama himself referred to it as "a mistake".

Not only did the Obama's get a $300,000 discount from the 1.65 million dollar purchase price but Rezko and his wife bought the adjoining lot. Then they paid over $14,000 for a privacy fence between it and the Obama mansion because Michelle was worried about what Rezko might put on the lot.

There is no question that Antoinio "Tony" Rezko is a sleezeball, a hustler, a slumlord and a crooked real estate developer. He made friends with politicians both in Chicago and in the Illinois legislature then he hustled them for favors. He was caught several times and got a slap on the wrist. Now Obama's friend Rezko is sitting in prison for bribing a public official.

While there is nothing illegal about an aggressive developer buying hot property next door to a rising political star there is the question of the HUGE discount. Would Rezko have given a friend who was not a politician that good of a deal? Probably not! Rezko has a history of helping politicians and then expecting favored treatment.

One must ask---what does Tony Rezko expect in return?

If this is found to be 100% true he should be removed from the nomination.
If it is, he lied AGAIN. He said on national television that he had no part of this.
We all know his ties to Countrywide and its boss, I hope this comes back to shut this guy down.
How dare him do this. He is a criminal himself.
People seem to hide this type of stuff, the commi media wont show it that is for sure.
Something new comes out every day, just like I have been saying for months, he has so many skeletons that there is no enough days in a week to show them all. Watch the liberal loon media hide this story.

I am waiting for one of these loons here to post something bad about McCain next in this thread. Its normal since we seem to have more and more bad news for Prince Barry and his bands of thugs.

Obama is a criminal, but a good talking one!

Sunshine Chick... I don't know if you know this but most politicians ARE criminals, most of them just haven't been caught yet... Obama and McCain are no exception... Its weird that America is easily attracted towards corrupted politicians... I guess they would when the candidates keep promising more handouts and entitlements...

I bought in June 06... my rate is 5.75%. That rate does not seem super low for that time period.
