Rezko's Contributions...
to candidates for office include: (Contributor on top line, candidate follows with date of donation and amount given.) Look at ALL the names on this list, and then ask yourself: Do we REALLY want to keep playing the "guilt by association" game?

1. The issue ain't contributions ... apparently, there are real estate
transactions involved. They're more personal, you know ...

investigation of any wrongdoing.

4. Also, didn't Obama return some favors as well? Quid pro Quo?
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 10:12 AM by robbedvoter
Barack Obama backed the effort by Tony Rezko
and Allison Davis - Rezko's partner and Obama's former boss -
to win taxpayer funds to build the Cottage View Terrace apartments.

11. you hillarians are beginning to piss a whole lot of people off.
perhaps that is your plan.

If he took "cash" as you wrongly allege, how much and when, and in what sized notes?

If, as all reports confirm, he received legal campaign donations, found out who they were from and that they were bundled, SENT ALL THAT MONEY TO A CHARITY, what is wrong with that?

If he did work on behalf of a law firm client, what is wrong with that?

My god, you clintonistas are just like Matt Drudge, except you have more errors in your accusations.

13. He was hired as a lawyer to use his elected post to lobby for 900k for Rezko?
Couple that with the 300k discount...

7. Personal favors from a man Obama threw under the proverbial bus...for convenience?
I'm starting to think Obama has what it takes. Now if he ca just ditch the halo.

15.  "Obama has given to charities $85,000 in Rezko-linked campaign contributions,"
"Obama has given to charities $85,000 in Rezko-linked campaign contributions, including $40,035 last weekend following a published report suggesting that Rezko funneled a $10,000 donation to Obama through a business associate."

5. How many of these people bought property next door for $300,000.00 under value?
and this when Rez was under investigation?

The point is Obama supporters are being hypocrites. Chicago politics is a contact sport. It gets dirty.
Stop Obama from acting like his crap don't stink and he m,ay become more palatable to those of us with more mature reasoning

6. This is sure not a good list for Obama. He is on it more than anyone
else - shows "special" relationship. Also GW Bush is on there a lot, too - good company. I think that the more I see the Rezko-Obama thing, the more I think Obama should just ignore it, because I don't think he has a chance in hell of explaining it well enough to satisfy the electorate, at all...

BTW, I'm voting for Edwards.
