Obama: I trusted Rezko why ?

Gosh, this is like all his other associations. It seems like Obama is incredibly stupid or he has a serious lack of judgment., Every time, something detrimental to his campaign comes out, he wants to distance himself from it. The man has some very questionable close friends, and he says he didn't know about it. That doesn't speak very well for his ability to run a country, now does it.

He buys for 160,000 something that is worth 300,000, sounds like a crooked deal to me.

I find it hard to believe that we have so many supposed 'educated' people who are swallowing his spiel hook, line and sinker. If this is what educated means now, I really fear for the direction of this country. I'm glad I got my higher education when it was truly an education.

You can't trust anything written in a Chicago newspaper about Obama. The newspapers are owned by the Chicago Machine - the ultra-corrupt political machine that created Obama. The fact is that Rezko and Obama saved $300,000 dollars on a crooked land deal.

He didn't know Rev Wright or Pfleger the way they are now, so why wouldn't he throw Rezko under the bus too? Obama has been a liar since day one when he first said he wasn't in the pew when Rev Wright spewed his hate speech and anti-american rants. Then he apologized and said he was there, but never said exactly why he stayed there for 20 years listening to that fanatical, racist, radical diatribe. So he left that up to the voting public and just like moths to a flame, they believed in him and ignored it because they have hopes for a "change". If Obama-boy wins, I hope you can assume the position for 4 years to accept your "change"...LOLOLOLOL

Because Obama is a unprincipled person. He didn't expect to go any higher in politics than Senator, so he took advantage of an offer to purchase property with a corrupt person.

Now, Obama says it's not the Rezko he knew...or the Wright he knew...or the Flegler he knew...or etc....

Poor judgment and greed for money are the reasons why Obama trusted Rezko

This "issue" is a non-starter.

McCain supports Bush and Bush supports McCain; Bush lied to the American people and as a result, 4,000+ of America's finest are dead.

Obama had no control over Rezko but Bush/McCain have chosen their paths. Which association is worse?

EDIT: Sorry Raina H you are not up to speed on McSame. I am a moderate Republican who will not vote for McCain, in spite of waiting 8 years to do so, why?

McCain stood for traditional Republican values: restrained spending, balanced budget, reductions in national debt, individual freedoms and a faith in the American people to do what is right without government interference. In order to appease the extreme right wing/lunatic fringe of the party, he abandoned these principles. He now supports the borrow and spend Bush tax cut giveaways and is in bed with the social conservatives. I will never support a "Republican" who advocates deficit spending, particularly in a time of war, and who abandons trust in individuals to make the right decisions in their own lives. McSame is an embarrassment to the principles he once stood for. I'll vote Obama.

You mean now convicted. Barry is just hoping Rezko doesnt spill the beans on him.

You are beating a dead horse. This is a non-issue. Go try to clean up the substance abuse addiction of McCain wife. Who he cheated his first wife with. And the Keating issue. Or rather, deal with the issues alone.

Just like McCain trusted Charles Keating.

trusted Rezko why
