How close were Barack Obama and Tony Rezko?
It was almost inevitable that Obama, as a Chicago politician, would spend a lot of quality time with someone like recently jailed Rezko. But that doesn't excuse bad judgment.
By Edward McClelland [2008-02-01]

  • I'm not an "Obamabot".

    I'm a lifelong Democrat who'll probably vote for Hillary, but I just don't see the scandal here. This story has been around for a few months now and nothing new has been uncovered. It just seems like people who want to bring Obama's aura down flailing their arms.

    The biggest implication being that Rezko didn't get the chance to call in his favor yet. What the hell is that? It's a scandal because it could have been a scandal some time in the future? Find something new. Picking up and dusting off the same tired story over and over smacks of desperation.
