Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Tony Rezko

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

    What the . . .

    After Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate, he and Rezko's wife bought adjoining pieces of property, then she turned around and sold him hers for just a fraction of what she'd paid for it. According to the Sun-Times, it was "widely known" at the time of that deal that Rezko was under federal investigation; he was indicted less than a year later. T.G.

    If Obama thinks that there is nothing to explain here, he is dangerously underestimating the American people.

    Now if Hillary is such a monster, why hasn't she exploited this fact further? restricting herself to a mere mention in the SC debate. The Chicago Sun Times as told to whomever is willing to listen about this deal and about the fact that on top of Obama's lot there was also a cute mansion.
