But Obama just knows Tony in passing…uh huh…oh, well but they were neighbors and Tony only raised a few hundred thousand bucks for Obama…hmmmm
.
And I freaking quote:
Fox News - 5:49 central time - “People expect some corruption in a candidate, I dont think this will hurt Obama in the long run as it is not the worst thing we have seen”…WHAT? While I agree that Obama and Tony are not the worst thing, what IS the worst thing is the thought that as Americans we EXPECT our elected officials to be corrupt…
But really…we do. Pathetic, shame on us.
Cthulu for president, vote for the lesser evil
Republicans for Voldemort

Firstly, you shouldn’t quote Fox News. Even though it was found on a recent academic study to indeed be the most fair and balanced, in terms of equal coverage for both sides, it’s widely known here in the LR that’s it’s nothing but a tool of the evil and vast rightwing conspiracy.
Secondly, the Dems are so desperate to win back the White House, they’d overlook everything short of one of their candidates being caught on videotape smoking crack in some hotel room. Oh, wait. A Dem WAS caught doing that at one time. Hey…maybe they’d crack down on their own candidates if, maybe, one of them was caught steering earmarks totaling a million dollars to their spouse’s employer. But I doubt it.
I love watching the Dem electoral trainwreck, I must admit.
T.
I love watching the Dem electoral trainwreck, I must admit.
It is somehow satisfying to watch a party that makes hay on divisions and identity politics, struggle to choose between two of the groups they play to. Would have been a much better outcome for them if it was Hillary or Obama vs one of the, actually somewhat qualified, old white guy dems.
RC10, got to hand it to you, you did point out the sliminess that is attached to Chicago politicians many moons ago, before Obama was considered a factor.
Please inform us specifically what Obama is guilty of with respect to Rezko.
lieing about what his actual relationship with Tony was lieing about the fact that Tony was getting cash for Obama lieing about what was going on in his district as pertaining to properties that Springfield was subsidizing playing stupid when asked about his wifes relationship with Tonys wife
And that is just so far…like I said months ago. Blago will be the first to fall, there will be a chain to Obama - there has to be, this is “The windy city” after all.
Oh, I see, “there has to be”. Guilt by innuendo and geography…
Oh, I see, “there has to be”. Guilt by innuendo and geography…
Actually, I think it is more “Guilt by tradition and geography”, just like here in New Jeresy.
Ah, I remember this gem from Art and Sphere…
“I didn’t join the Limbaugh thread earlier since it was just the same old name calling, but Limbaugh had a fundamental point about his desire to continue the Democratic campaign that was, of course, not mentioned. The Republicans have decided on self censorship for this campaign. They won’t criticize the woman for fear of being called sexists and they won’t criticize he who shall not be middle named for fear of being called racists.”
You’ve done a pretty good job going after Obama. Anybody on here called you a racist about it yet?
LOL…no, just that nothing has “changed” in Chicago.
Dont let the facts confuse you then. Tony is in jail…there are more than one “Elected Official A, B, C”. All we know at this point is Blago was Govt Official A.

Obama however is for change…and he was not the same as all other other Chicago folks…he is as pure as the blown snow…
You haven’t given any facts at this point. You are convinced that Obama is guilty because, well, he just HAS to be…
Neither was OJ…
Uh, what?
The problem with those little lose threads is that people keep picking at them:
Obama: Rezko raised up to $250K
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Presidential candidate Barack Obama said on Friday an indicted Chicago businessman raised up to $250,000 for his previous political campaigns, a higher figure than he previously reported, according to two Chicago newspapers.
The Illinois Democratic senator’s campaign has previously said it donated to charity more than $150,000 in contributions traced to Antoin “Tony” Rezko.

Also on Fox News tonight, Obama stated that he was aware of a couple of the reverends staements, but wasn’t that concerned about it. Hmm.
And that is illegal because?
