Tony Rezko

Here we go . . . yet ANOTHER of Obama's associates, this time a SYRIAN . . . Tony Rezko. Did you REALLY think that Obama could fly through the political ranks in Chicago that quickly without a little "help?"

"Rezko had quietly played a role in Obama's purchase of a new home. Obama bought the house on Chicago's south side in June, 2005, after he had been elected to the U.S. Senate. According to Obama, the owner wanted to sell the house together with a next door vacant lot which Obama apparently did not want. Instead, Rezko's wife bought the empty lot for full price. 625,000. And according to Obama, he bought the house paying $1.65 million, for $300,000 under the asking price, all on the same day. Obama says the price was dropped because the house had been on the market for some time." So the price of the HOUSE was dropped $300,000 . . . but the empty lot went for FULL ASKING PRICE. Yeah, that makes sense.

"Obama says no lobbyist would be permitted to work in his White House. And as a state senator in Illinois, and now in Washington, he has pushed new ethics reforms laws. All of which makes his relationship with an accused Illinois political fixer and influence peddler all the more unusual. His name is Tony Rezko, known in Illinois politics as a back-room operator who did favors and raised campaign money for politicians and benefited in return. Rezko will go on trial next month to face charges growing out of a three-year long undercover FBI investigation involving bribes, kickbacks and extortion."

OBAMA'S LIES: Obama has given a series of various explanations about the deal. First, he told the Chicago Tribune that he didn't recall what his conversations were with Rezko. Four days later, he told the Chicago Sun Times that he did recall telling Rezko about the property. Last May, as a candidate for president, Obama acknowledged to George Stephanopoulos that Rezko could become an issue, even though everything had been above board and legal. So would you REALLY consider electing a man who is so OBVIOUSLY dishonest???

"Rezko and people in his circle have given Obama more than $120,000 for his U.S. and state senate campaigns. A spokesman for Obama says the Senator has donated the 44,000 of that to charity since the indictments in Chicago. And the senator insists no favors were asked of him by Rezko and none was granted." Yeah right. This man just HAPPENS to buy the empty lot next door for FULL ASKING PRICE on the SAME DAY as Obama's purchase for $300,000 UNDER asking price. How stupid does he think we are!?!??! This man, who now stands convicted of bribing politicians did everything with Obama completely on the level, right? Of course it was on the level! That is why Barack was so FORTHCOMING when asked about it!!!!

Here is what Wikipedia had to say . . . "Antoin "Tony" Rezko (born 1955 in Aleppo, Syria) is an American political fundraiser, restaurateur, and real estate developer in Chicago, Illinois convicted on several counts of fraud and bribery in 2008. Rezko has been involved in fundraising for local Illinois Democratic and Republican politicians since the 1980s. He focused primarily on Chicago-area Democrats; for example, Rezko was one of Barack Obama's first major financial contributors."

William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Michelle Obama, and now Tony Rezko . . . how much more evidence to you need?

No way, no how, NOBAMA.
