  • Ya like Obama never "mis-remembered"

    Reporter to Obama: How well did you know Tony Rezko?

    Obama: Tony who?

    Reporter a day later when more news comes out:How well did you know Tony Rezko?

    Obama: I may have had dinner 1 or 2 times with him.

    Reporter two days later when more news comes out:How well did you know Tony Rezko?

    Obama: Well he might have raised a few thousand dollars for my campaign and my wife and I may have had dinner once or twice a month with him.

    Reporter three days later when more news comes out:How well did you know Tony Rezko?

    Obama: Tdog, that's my name for Tony...May have raised more money than I previously "remembered"...Something like 25,000...

    Reporter four days later when more news comes out:How well did you know Tony Rezko? Tdog actually raised 250,000 for me...Must have slipped my mind. I had dinner with him 3 times last week just like I've done for the last 18 years...But let me set the record straight, he did not help me with the purchase of my house in any way...

    Reporter five days later when more news comes out:How well did you know Tony Rezko? Ya Tony purchased the lot beside my house and sold it to me...If you don't believe me you can ask your self since I'm at lunch with him right now...It was kind of boneheaded but other than that he didn't help me at all...

    Reporter six days later when more news comes out:How well did you know Tony Rezko?

    Obama: Tdog and his wife were actually in the house with us when we bought it...We all had lunch with the previous owners...When I said he raised 250,000 I meant that he rasied that "directly" for me. That doesn't include the money his well heeled friends raised for me...

    Reporter seven days later when more news comes out:How well did you know Tony Rezko? Oh Tony...Ya he lives with me because as you know his tax records show he only makes around 30,000 dollars a year...
