Don't get your hopes up. Rezko will probably "have a heart attack" before he can sing his song.

He was the only one bidding and knew not to bid against him self. If you want to pay full value for house without negotiating ok. He made several offers and was countered and it ended 300K off. Makes sense.

No this isn't the Annenberg site it is the leading fact check St Petersburg Times.

PolitiFact | No proof Rezko saved Obama money on home
The Obama campaign has posted an e-mail from the seller, Frederic Wondisford, confirming that Obama’s offer on the house was the best one. In the letter, the seller says he rejected two lower offers from the Obamas before the two sides finally settled at $1.65-million.

The seller also confirmed that he did not offer or give the Obamas a discount on the house price on the basis of the price offered and accepted on the adjacent vacant lot purchased by Rezko's wife.

Lastly, Wondisford confirmed that it was he who insisted the closing for the two properties be completed on the same day

Now about McCains 7 houses or is that cars? Which is 13?

They'll be OK. After 8 years of Obama Presidential leadership those sour grapes will turn into wine... err... whine (I forget we're talking about Republicans).

Isn't it obvious that the McCain supporters have little to support when they have to bring up old rumors that have already been debunked? I mean, at least we can come up with new dirt everyday.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/sns-ap-fundraiser-indicted,0,2482824.storyRezko's (broken link) sentencing on Oct. 28 comes only days before the presidential election. Republican rival John McCain has been running TV ads linking Obama to Rezko. But Obama's name surfaced only briefly at the trial and there was no evidence of wrongdoing on Obama's part

The above is from the article

Sorry McCain supporters. Your candidate has run a campaign that would make John Kerry proud.

I know it's tough for some of us to imagine a black man as President but seriously, deal with it.
It's not that hard to imagine a black man as President...just not this particular black man!!!
