  No.

  Christine,

  Rezko and Obama are two different people, despite what the Right-wing media might want you to believe. I once had a roommate who got busted for a DUI - that didn't make me guilty of DUI just because he was my friend.

  What is "political crime" anyway?

  There's no shortage of corruption in Chicago politics, but anybdoy who knows anything about politics here knows that Obama was not a favorite of the local Democratic "Machine" - his appeal to Illinois voters was that he was, to the extent possible, largely independent of that scene.

  "I read that Obama was deemed not able to visit the Capitol because his background disqualifies him from getting security clearance and yet even though this is public knowledge he is still trying to run for president." - This is insane. Why would a Senator not be able to enter the Capitol? What background does one need?

  "How can anyone apply for the job of president..." - In America, one does not "apply" for the presidency, one conducts a campaign to try to convince voters to vote for oneself. In case you haven't noticed, that's what all this primary business is about. You should do yourself a favor and get yourself a high school civics textbook - it's all in there.

  Can you please provide the sources of your misinformation or do you just make this up? Who do you think you're fooling?
