Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Tony Rezko

A "gotcha" that wasn't for one candidate, a need to "come clean" for another.

    Missing info

    "...then she turned around and sold him hers for just a fraction of what she'd paid for it."

    I live in Chicago and have been following Obama's career since his Senate campaign. The Chicago Tribune ran a good, detailed critique of the Rezko relationship many, many months ago. One key point is that Rezko's wife sold the Obama's a 10 foot wide strip of their property so the Obama's could enlarge their side yard. It is misleading to say she sold "hers" for a "fraction" of her cost. She sold a fraction of "hers" for a fraction of her cost. The Sun-Times is the New York Post of Chicago. Please look in the Tribune archives for better written and researched articles about Obama. It should also be noted that Rezko has been indicted for shenanigans related to his cozy relationship with our corrupt governor (also a Dem, unfortunately).
