Comments on: Rezko Controversy: Headache For Obama

National Review Online: The Senator May Have To Denounce The Actions Of Some Of His Allies

[rayuk-2009]

Everything from the NRO and the Weekly Standard has a pro GOP agenda. This article is simply business as usual.

Clinton and Obama should join forces they are both corrupt..
Far to many people connected to them who have become out of sorts with them have sort of died.. or had accidents, or had heart attacks etc, hmmm
I appears that it is life threatening being involved with them..

Oh Please! Give us a break! They are trying to drag Obama into this, no where is his name mentioned in conjunction to the corrupt actions of these people. This rediculous article written in the National Review, with their own agenda and accusations by a Republican with his own agenda is rediculous and the fact that it''s been shown on the CBS news website is disgusting! More smear tactics and the media, as usual is helping it along!

The political lesson that Obama has hopefully learned by now is, apologize for nothing. He didn''t preach the words that his minister said, so he has nothing to apologize for or explain. If he has no particular association with Rezko other than the guy being a donor, then don''t apologize. Apologies only play into the hands of the filthy GOP schemers who try to sow doubt about everything. Ignore the NRO and Rove natterers and you dry up their swamp...

Surely you''re not that naive...Obama and Rezko made a dirty land deal so Obama could buy a house he couldn''t afford on his own...Rezko bought the adjoining propery because one had to be sold the same day as the other. Obama couldn''t afford both. As a matter of fact...he paid 300,000 less than the asking price, while Rezko paid full price. Sounds like "quid pro quo" to me! It''s amazing to me that people are so caught up in this Obama thing that they are willing to forego common sense.

I don''t see anything in this article that proves Obama had anything to do with any of this. There is an assumption that because Obama was in politics in Illinois when this was going on the must have been involved somehow, but that is total conjecture. Obama sat down with the Chicago newspaper and answered all of their questions about Rezko. Don''t you think they asked him everything they could think of? I don''t know why the MSM didn''t make as big a deal of the Chicago newspapers exoneration of Sen. Obama as they make of the conjecture. This is very biased.

The only problem here is that this is not news its dirty politics.
