While the Clinton's were posing for a picture, Obama was giving a job to a Rezko-connected person.

A story that slipped between the cracks in the Obama-Rezko scandal.

John Aramanda served as an intern for Obama for about a month in 2005, said Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs. His father is Joseph Aramanda, a Rezko business associate who was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a federal corruption case against Rezko. Aramanda has contributed $11,500 to Obama since 2000, Gibbs said.

"Mr. Rezko did provide a recommendation for John Aramanda," Gibbs said. "I think that it's fairly obvious that a few-week internship is not anything of benefit to Mr. Rezko or any of his businesses."

It's obvious that a few-week internship is not anything of benefit to Mr. Rezko or any of his businesses? Really?

While the Clinton's were posing for a picture, Obama was giving jobs.

3. Is it a good idea to invite an intern comparison?

This is exactly why the Clinton campaign should just cut this out.

Every mistake a public figure can make, they've already made it and it can be turned around and used on them. They have nothing to gain from the low road.

4. Unbelievable...

Obama gave an internship to the relative of a political supporter with ties to some unsavory people. Will the corruption ever end? Obama sounds like the sort of person who, if governor, might have appointed the son-in-law of one of the biggest criminals in his home state, and a law partner of his wife's, as chief justice of the state's supreme court, and then become president to make that same person associate attorney general. You can't trust people with such unsavory connections, as they usually entangle the politician in a WEB of lies. You don't need the HUBBELL telescope to see it either.

5. Rezko paid good money for that picture

Next question is, how much?

6. From Talking Points Memo:

But some might say that the alleged crimes aren't what make the story so disheartening. Rather, it's that Obama, who is seen by many as a modern-day Horatio Alger -- "proof that this country affords equal opportunities to anyone who works hard enough," as New York magazine described him in October -- would apparently give a such a coveted position to a kid on the basis of how much his rich dad ponied up for the senator's election.
