REZKO SINGING: OBAMA SWEATING?
I think you have the direction of the payment/bribe in the Rezko-Obama house deal. The Lisa Myers MSNBC report discussed in this mydd post is no longer available online. The discussion by the poster is accurate. The "adjacent lot" that Rezko's wife purchased was not some undeveloped piece of investment property, it was the yard for the Obamas' house. It was the surrounded by the same fence as the Obama house, you could not enter the lot any other way. And it remained like this for months until Obama realized he had to remedy the optics of the situation. He did this by buying back one-sixth of the lot from Rezko (the above market purchase). Obama needed to make this purchase because otherwise he would not have been able to fence off the "Rezko lot" from the Obama lot. I think there is little doubt that the purpose of Rezko's involvement in this purchase was to allow the Obamas to buy a house they could not otherwise afford (sounds topical doesn't it). As Obama became a more serious presidential candidate, someone said "hey, we need to fix this, because it looks like this guy Rezko bought the yard for your house." But whether I am right or wrong about that, there is little doubt the press has been covering for Obama on this one. This guy Rezko is about to bring down the governor of Illinois because of corruption. And it is just a coincidence that he has this relationship with Obama? Let's have a national discussion.
