Obama's Connection to Corruption

At the very beginning of the Democratic campaign, I remember reading something which spoke about Mr. Obama's connection to a man in Chicago named Tony Rezko. Rezko is not a nice man, in fact, Hillary Clinton had a few choice words about him (at the website below) and she ain't lily white herself! The Chicago Sun Times has outlined the whole ugly facts, however, I'm listing the worst of it right here: "A few months after Obama became a U.S. senator, he and Rezko's wife, Rita, bought adjacent pieces of property from a doctor in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood -- a deal that has dogged Obama the last two years. The doctor sold the mansion to Obama for $1.65 million -- $300,000 below the asking price. Rezko's wife paid full price -- $625,000 -- for the adjacent vacant lot. The deals closed in June 2005. Six months later, Obama paid Rezko's wife $104,500 for a strip of her land, so he could have a bigger yard. At the time, it had been widely reported that Tony Rezko was under federal investigation. Questioned later about the timing of the Rezko deal, Obama called it "boneheaded" because people might think the Rezkos had done him a favor." I wonder what "favors" Obama did for the $520,000 free lunch from Rezko? If Obama is claiming he has risen above the norm on campaign contributions, he is sadly mistaken. He's just taken a "back door" approach! Woe to all of us if he gets into office!!!
