FTA:
"The 52-year-old Rezko is accused of scheming to get kickbacks from companies wanting state contracts. He has pleaded not guilty, and defense attorneys say the government didn't prove its case."
hmmm ... "scheming to get kickbacks" for hooking up companies with state contracts. He hooked up Obama with a nice chunk of property for his mansion, and Obama's accepted political funding from this guy - although Obama's accounts about how much change more often than as his stories about his grand daddy's/great uncle's military service.

Add this to his spending plans. Tom Coburn was on The Jerry Doyle Show today and laid out how big the spending plans are. Today, 19% of of GDP is consumed by the Federal Government - an obscene amount for sure, but less than half of the over 40% that Obama's plans will require.

"Boy, from his pastor to his buddies to his neighbor, Obama surrounds himself with racists, terrorists and crooks!"
More lies, half-insinuations and bunk from the Neo-cons fearful that all the BushCo crimes will come to light once a different party is in office.

"It's about a criminal who's ties to Obama are tenuous at best"
Tenuous???
Sen. Obama expressed regret for his 2005 land purchase from now-indicted political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko in a deal that enlarged the senator's yard.
"I consider this a mistake on my part and I regret it," Obama told the Chicago Sun-Times in an exclusive and revealing question-and-answer exchange about the transaction.
Ovama paid $1.65 million for a Georgian revival mansion, while Rezko paid $625,000 for the adjacent, undeveloped lot. Both closed on their properties on the same day.
The transaction occurred at a time when it was widely known Tony Rezko was under investigation by US Attorney Fitzgerald and as other Illinois politicians befriended by Rezko distanced themselves from him.
Obama and Rezko have been friends since 1990, and Obama said the Wilmette businessman raised as much as $60,000 for him during his political career
This is according to rhe Chicago Sun Times
