but we are talking about Illinois . The feds have been hacking away at political corruption here for almost 90 years and have not made a dent in it. The number one way of getting rid of a political opponent around here is to have a mole rat him out to the feds or have him killed. Corruption is written into the laws of this state. obama did nothing wrong.
Rezko has ties to presidential candidate Barack Obama. The senator says he had no indication of any problems with Rezko when he accepted thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from him. So Obama tells ABC News he had no indication of Rezko’s mounting problems when he accepted over $180,000 from the notorious kickback artist...
(The image is a copy of a letter that Obama sent to the Illinois Department of Housing Commissioner. Obama supported a lot of New Kenwood's Housing proposals which is operated by Rezko.) **Click on the link below for more info.

You are worried about Rezko hell what about the Keating Five and the National Savings and Loan scandal of John McCain?????
You really do not know that Bob Bennet ,Bill Clintons lawyer cleared MAC over that with a very accepted investigation
But he still wins against McCain in my book.
The memo you cite, I notice that there's a total lack of Rezko's name, so the question is, did he get the contract rewarded to Rezko, as a favor, without a bid. Did he get gain any projects for Rezko. Or if he called a prosecutor's office and told them to lay off his friend Rezko.
That's what you haven't written. That's what you never say.
All this letter says is that he's all for the project. No, not that he thinks Rezko should be the one who does it. There's not too many people who shouldn't like to provide housing for seniors-- except Republicans, that is.
You might not know this, but there have been Presidents who had very tainted backgrounds in corrupt politics, but who changed their ways once they were in office, and angered their old cronies by how honest they became. Chester T. Arthur and Rutherford B. Hayes.
Thanks for the insightful research. It's always helpful to know the full story.
...then you would've found out that NBC 5 Chicago investigated it, and found out that the project was awarded to Rezko for more than $100 million. The truth hurts yet again...
...and others are scums of this earth. They are corrupting elected officials like Senator Obama, so they can make tons of money on the taxpayers' account. Elected officials who are in bed with this scums should also be held accountable and be put in jail.
