Developing: Obama's sits down with Chicago papers to quell lingering Rezco questions
Lynn Sweet is the Chicago reporter thats been on Obama's ass about Rezco since forever*

CHICAGO—White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is granting extensive interviews to the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune on Friday afternoon in an effort to get behind him questions about Antoin "Tony" Rezko,

“I want to make sure you guys have it all,” Obama said as he sat down with Sun-Times reporters, editors and editorial board members.

Looks like hes getting it all out there. Good for Obama.

2. Combined with his TV appearances tonight re Wright mess,
this is showing good media management (and just plain good judgment). If he has nothing to hide
(as I believe), then he should be seen as being absolutely and utterly open and candid with the
press, even if it takes lengthy interviews to get all the truth out. THAT will prove he's a
different kind of candidate.

5. Didn't Fitzgerald say there isn't ANY wrong doing from Obama on this case
Then way the fuck people are trying to tie him to a case as if he did some CRIMINAL activity.

6. You'll still see posters claim he was "running away" from questions
at that earlier press conference, even though he really was running late and had already answered eight questions.

This should lay that argument to rest, but knowing how certain posters (don't) think, it won't.
