I''m glad I don''t have to be held responsible for the actions of others. Wake-up everyone ... he is a politician, like every other politician and when fundraising, does not have the resources to insure that all contributers are above board. For Hilary to be pointing the finger at Obama is absolutely laughable. What people should be concerned about is what the candidates stand for, not this childish bickering incited by the Clinton''s (angel''s they are NOT).

megaduck75 ... it would be nice to actually see some intelligent comments from you. Your BOLDED, one-liners lack substance and appear to be the rantings of a very angry, low class, white, racist (a.k.a. hillbilly).

[prinzowhales]

The Republicans fool their conservative adherants every year and end up putting a "Rockefellar Republican" in office...The Democrats gull their supporters with Carter-esque nonsense about being outsiders...Horse Hockey!

The major problem in American politics is the gullibility of the American voter...as long as he buys the mainstream media monkey fodder and like a trained chimp steps and fetches for the Oligarchy and votes their Demopublican Party line, there will never be real change.

The outsider candidates...the Pauls, the Kucinichs, the Gravels...on the right and the left are of the people...that''s why YOU look at them and say they can''t win...because they lack the veneer that you are accustomed to...You are so used to falsehood--like the 935 lies tallied up and noted...that, like the beaten dogs of a cruel master, you trail along behind them...not even requiring a leash.

%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026. During Obama''s eight years as an Illinois state Representative and his statement that he did not directly represent Rezko''s development firm when he instead according to records show he represented non-profit community groups that partnered with Rezko''s firm%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026.

lol........... lordy if this is not politics as usual what is parse spin vomit


and years after Rezko befriended Obama in the early 1990s, and had helped bankroll the politician''s campaigns. in 2005 Rezko engaged him in private financial deals to improve their adjoining South Side properties that had been bought on the same day from the same seller Rezkos wife paying full price and the Obamas got a 300, 000K price reduction %u2026%u2026%u2026.


Oh really bad judgment, some may call that selective beneficial bad judgment ....there is a different rendition in the Wapo interview then the CBS one....


..Rezko''s federal corruption trial is scheduled to begin Feb. 25

...........race your engines dems your going to need all the juice you have to be heard on any issue when the swifties begin the drum role...............it was not mistake that Bush Rove targeted the justice department for political corruption and fired USAs you have to admit the timing seems well is bad for Dems

How dumb do you really belive voters are??????

OBAMA 2008...

[eddynewhope]

Hahahaha - Look up Norman Hsu. Hypocrisy to a comical degree. This man is in prison after giving the Clintons 800,000 dollars and that''s just what''s on the books. What''s that adage about not throwing stones when you live in a glass house? The Clintons are liars and hypocrites. No one cares about this stuff but it''s the best the Clintons have to offer. Well, that and "I''ve been against the war since the beginning" which is right up there with "I did not have sexual relations with that woman": bona fide lies.

[sharhut]

OBAMA, lets be honest with the American people. OBAMA, you talk a seemingly good talk but give the American people the straight TALK for the first time. We are listening. If you feel as I do, pass this message along to your friends,and demand the straight and honest talk from OBAMA. Americans are waiting, OBAMA !!!!!!!

[sierra20071]

Someone from Ill made a post in the LVRJ that once Obama was voted into the senate, he gave his wife or bumped up his wife to a new job with a 350k anual salary. Is there any truth to this, anyone?

[rjmcbs]

Hillary''s donors are already in jail

[beltway33]

THE FACT IS OBAMA IS DIRTY TO THE CORE...REZKO IS NO NICE GUY COS HE IS KNOWN IN CHICAGO AS HAVING STRONG LINKS TO THE MOB IN CHICAGO AND LAS VEGAS, AND HE HELPED OBAMA PURCHASE HIS CURRENT HOME FOR A CUT DOWN PRICE...OBAMA BLAMES EVERYONE FOR OLD STYLE POLITICS BUT ON MONDAY NIGHT HE TALKED ABT HILLARY''S OLD WALMART JOB...SOUNDS LIKE OLD STYLE POLITICS FROM A WHINNING CRY-BABY...TIMES UP HUSSEIN....

[bookout2]

Obama,banna, Oswama or whatever you call this
guy for president? Give me a break.

The real "Reagan legacy":

Obama,
HA! HA! HA!
Its funny that Obama praised Reagan and so do the Republicans. Everybody who don''t remember or was to young or wasn''t born yet need to go to.. www.youtube.com and watch "Land of confusion-Genesis. This video was played on MTV back in 1986 and just shows you what people thought of Reagan. Also, Eddie Murphy in "Delirious" speaks about Reagonomics and as you watch the crowd in Washington is booing. Look back at the facts, they can say alot about what society thought during a certain point in time. "Oh superman where are you now, when everythings gone wrong somehow" Genesis.

the man is brilliant, was editor of Harvard Law Review, not an incoherent loser like George Bushit. And haven''''t the Clinton''''s had a long enough rule? Hillary is so greedy for the power she''''ll stop at nothing to get elected.

Ever gone to law school? Editor of the Law Review looks good on a resume, but it doesn''t mean anything about how smart you are.

It is proven that just because someone gets good grades, that doesn''t prove they have any common sense or that they are any smarter than the person that didn''t score well on the exams.

[pepperp1]

%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026..seems this fellow is disappearing before the Dems eyes just what they would have needed a corruption scandal playing out in the back drop as their heirs run%u2026%u2026%u2026 and oh boy how mad this coming out now must make the repot attack machine bursting their wet dream of Dem corruption as a theme in 08 as an offset for the actual FBI raids on Repugs like Stevens,, Doolittle, Lewis et al republican politicians SEE THEY ARE ALL THE SAME LESS OF TWO EVILS%u2026%u2026%u2026and with Fitzgerald in charge and no leaks so total rampant speculation run amok aka Swifties%u2026%u2026

This must be one of those Dem shoot in the foot times, how could they not have vetted Senator Obama and if they did how could they have ever thought this would play well in the country %u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026.

Rough and tumble indeed and what does this association say about the man

[gkc99]

"Sorry to all the Obama supporters who believe in him because he is different. The bottomline is he is not any different than any other politician out there. He is a great orater but that is about it. He takes money from anybody he can and that is why he has raised the amount of money he has"--Posted by jjmdisne


Of course he''s a politician. So what? Hillary takes plenty of money from shady characters. Remember Marc Rich and Bill''s pardon of him for tax evasion?

So do all the Repug candidates.

Obama''s different--the man is brilliant, was editor of Harvard Law Review, not an incoherent loser like George Bushit. And haven''t the Clinton''s had a long enough rule? Hillary is so greedy for the power she''ll stop at nothing to get elected.

[nolalou]

The problem is that without some kind of public financing of campaigns, all candidates regardless of party are required to spend lots of time fund raising. As a result, you sometimes end up taking money from people who are not the kind of people you''d normally want to associate with. While nothing so far indicates Obama knew anything about Rezco''s alleged illegal activities, If he does become the Democratic nominee, it''s something he''ll have to deal with, since it certainly would be used against him in the general election.

(Oops! Forgot to proofread) (Let''s try again)

Just another example of Obama''''s lack of experience. Any seasoned public figure would have stayed away from such dealings. What other poor choices would he make if he became president?!

Go back to the Senate, actually vote on some key issues, sponser some bills, get on a few committees and THEN run for president.

[pepperp1]

What crappola payola baloney, the guy has been his main supporter one of his highest bundlers all through his career a sponsor if you will, for 16 17 years., Rezkos wife co bought the listing for Obamas house in 2005 and she paid full price for the empty lot while the Senator got a 300,000 K price cut for his share on the same day, and the Sun Times is reporting that Senator Obama is the unnamed pol who received a political donation of what10,000K from one of the kickback schemes involving tax payer funds at this point unknowingly.....and everyone but Senator Obama it seems knew about the shady alleged corrupt Rezko but not the Senator Obama who would be to much of an Hope man to ever deal with someone so suspicious as Rezko and oh goody the trial will play out during the campaign. Check out his other story last month in hte Wapo archives where he did know Rezko was under federal investigation when they co bought the property in 2005. And the prosecutor is Patrick Fitzgerald Oh my%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026.

Wha wha but I did not know the press is being mean to me..just like Bill Clinton .....and all I wnat to do is HOPE you move on
