Sorry, I do give you credit for posting the link, but this story goes WAY beyond Obama and his wife wanting a bigger yard. It clearly demonstrates that Obama has been associated with Rezko for a very long time, that Rezko has been a major fundraiser for Obama, and that Obama has apparently lied outright about (at the very least, completely misrepresented) the nature and duration of his relationship with Rezko. I have sat back for some time now, wondering how on earth Obama expected to keep this story under wraps in perpetuity, wondering why on earth no major media had put any effort into investigating it. After all, the Rezko story goes to the very heart of Obama's campaign - his claim to represent an entirely new kind of politics. I get no joy from this, believe me. But I am relieved to see a measure of my faith restored in the Fourth Estate. At least for today.
