Obama's ties to Tony Rezko...?
Do you think Obama's ties to Tony Rezko and Iraqi Billionaire Nadhmi Auchi will help or hurt Obama's bid for the Presidency?
Rezko's relationship with Barack Obama goes back to at least 1990, when Obama's law firm did work relating to a Rezko housing development. Rezko was a key early-money fund raiser in Obama's state Senate campaigns and his failed run at the US Congress. In June 2005, when the mansion was purchased, Rezko was widely known to be under federal investigation. Rezko also is a key fundraiser for Illinois Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich.
The sudden emergence of Auchi into this story indicates Rezko's deals may include a money trail leading back to dead Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Auchi's Saddam links trace back to a failed 1959 assassination attempt on the life of then-Iraqi-prime-minister Abdul Karim Qasim.
Below are links to a couple of articles that provide additional information:

Obama's supporters will overlook every bit of it cause they drank the kool aid. But the people who elect Presidents in this country, the great mass of undecided people, are gonna get one look at Obama, this Rezko stuff, his preacher, his wife, his followers ........and run to McBush so fast your heads will spin.
I hope it's clear that I'm a Hillary supporter. This nomination's not a done deal yet!

together with his ties to Tony Rezko do no longer discredit his ties to Wright's agency and those who Wright endorses. Obama used this agency for his political progression in his state attempt and also for the Senate seat. Now he makes a stand purely at the same time as significant flow media forces him to. extra will be disclosed..The vote casting American and significant flow media are not any more by with him yet.

In conjunction with his ties to Tony Rezko do not discredit his ties to Wright's Organization and those who Wright endorses. Obama used this Organization for his political advancement in his state attempt and also for the Senate seat.
Now he makes a stand only when main stream media forces him to.
More will be disclosed..The voting American and main stream media are not through with him yet.

If people think that Obama's ties to Rezko should disqualify him from the presidency, then Bush should have been impeached for his ties to close friend, Ken Lay, of Enron. And let's not forget about Hillary and the fugitive donor, Norman Hsu (now in jail).Think about the hypocrisy here.

Hey, B.O. is for "change", it's ok for him to behave in unethical ways and have shaddy and questionable associates. Be nice.
