The Rezko Bomb
- Once Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton uttered the name "Rezko" at a Democratic presidential debate last Monday, she moved to center stage and shined a spotlight on Tony Rezko, facing a Feb. 25 trial on federal corruption charges. Sen. Barack Obama's long relationship with Rezko is a major political problem for him in the primary, and in the general election if he wins the nomination.
Until the debate, Rezko's complicated ties with Obama mainly were contained in the pages of the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune, with the national press only occasionally visiting the story of a career patron of Obama who raised money for his state and U.S. Senate campaigns.
Once Hillary brought this up, someone leaked a photo of her and Bill standing with Rezko at some 1996 fundraiser. So the missiles flew both ways.
It remains to be seen how in depth the national press is willing to go to see where Rezko raised money, who he funneled it to and what ties Obama has to the Chicago Machine. Hillary has her own fund raising problems with Hu in California and an entire laundry list of contributors tied into China.
Obama's South Carolina trouncing of Hillary was too soon after the Rezko allegations surfaced to see if they stick and weigh down Obama going into Super Tuesday. There are eight days until that primary and that should cut the field down to two when Edwards drops out. How long the rest of the bloodletting goes on, who knows?

Anyone notice how many Obama bumperstickers have been showing up in Bridgeview, Burbank, and Oak Lawn lately.....with what appear to me mid-eastern drivers?.....
A vote for Obama is a vote for Allah.
A vote for Clinton is a vote for MORE TAXES.
Was watching 10 o'clock news yesterday, they had about 10 minutes of kissing Obamas ass as if he were the second coming, then 30 seconds about the republican primaries. Makes me sick.
It just shows ya that there's no real "mob" anymore. Thirty years ago he'd never make it to trial w/all the dirt he has on everyone.
Im sure though, he doesn't like starting his car......

Until there is a genuine push for publicly funded elections in this country nothing will change. Gentlemen, what will it take to get you to recognize that it’s our system that’s fucked?
Clinton will do anything to try to destroy Obama! when billy clinton was president he was told by the defense dept. not to allow russia to receive the ibm super computer technology, old bill being paid off as usual then gave the task over to the commerce dept headed by bills friend ron brown (now decesaed in a strage plane crash). now with that tech russia has developed a huge new set of bombs with triple warheads that can evade any radar. then russia gave this tech to china which is on a massive military build up campaign! thanks bill for helping ruin Amerca even more, hey pal thanks for nafta also. God bless us if hillary gets in we will be worse off than we ever have been. as far as rezko he is another goof who the clintons will use to get to obama, many strange things happen will the clintons what will they try next? more lies and issues?

This is from Obama's church's website:
THE BLACK VALUE SYSTEM
Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System, written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee, chaired by the late Vallmer Jordan in 1981.
Dr. Manford Byrd, our brother in Christ, withstood the ravage of being denied his earned ascension to the number one position in the Chicago School System. His dedication to the pursuit of excellence, despite systematic denials, has inspired the congregation of Trinity United Church of Christ. Prayerfully, we have called upon the wisdom of all past generations of suffering Blacks for guidance in fashioning an instrument of Black self-determination, the Black Value System.
Beginning in 1982, an annual Black Value System – Educational Scholarship in the name of Dr. Byrd was instituted. The first recipient of the Dr. Manford Byrd Award, which is given annually to the man or woman who best exemplifies the Black Value System, was our brother, Dr. Manford Byrd.
These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They consist of the following concepts:

Simple Solution:
VOTE REPUBLICAN
IF YOU ARE A TRUE CONSERVATIVE AND A REAL REPUBLICAN VOTE FOR RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT.
IF YOU VOTE REPUBLICAN YOU ARE DONE IN A FLASH AS THERE ARE NO JUDGES TO VOTE FOR!!!
SCREW THE MACHINE!!!
RON PAUL IN 2008!!!
What gets me about all this presidential posturing by these candidates are the programs they propose that will benefit everyone who isn't going to pay a dime for them. Thats really tough to digest when you hear about the astronomical amounts of money these guys are dropping (Romney -40Million of his own money) to get themselves elected. I wish the hell someone like Warren Buffet or Bill Gates were running. At least they're taking their own money and doing something with it that these other phoney bastards are expecting us to pay for.
osama obama just blew hillary out of the water in south carolina. plenty of "good ole boys" to go around and he still got the nod by a landslide. the rezko thing is just a blip on the radar. obama does seem to be sensitive to the rezko thing though-- will media exploit it.
Im sitting here wacthing Ted Kennedy confirm himself as one of the biggest pieces of shit of all time I actually felt sorry for the Omama, he has crossed HILBIL and he will be destroyed by them, adding a killer to your list of miscreant backers and hackers wont help.
but you will be okay Baracks, you will look just like a big eared Uncle Ben one day and you will still live in a big house, be a millionaire, and still be famous..........unless Reszko get you put in the joint.
I gotta go now, Omama is tossin' Kennedy salad, yum yum, that sho is good
Who cares? Stop voting DUMMYcrat!
rezko was arrested by the feds today great job, now will he talk! lets put blago and his wife where they belong in prison asap!
VOTE REPUBLICAN!

Are you just as sickened by the current state after 7 years of Republiclown leadership??
I was wondering when Hillary Clinton would play the Rezko card, who by the way had his bond revoked and was taken into custody today. I wonder when and if the national media will ever investigate this. That being said, and I hate to say it because I am a Republican but now it looks like 2008 will be a Democratic year. (I hope I am wrong) If that is the case, Obama is the lesser of two evils.
Barack Obama Bin-Laden says---
Not even the mention of my Syrian brother-in-Allah Rezko could slow down the jihad. I won in South Carolina and I will win every future Islamic state after that.
Soon, Hillary will only be a bad memory in a burqua.
If Omama gets in then Mayor asshole Daley will be in the white house and Fitzgerald will be gone. I don't care for Hillary yet I have to vote for her over your boy Omama, if he get in we are fucked.
Obama in bed with The Machine.
Clinton in bed with lobbyist's.
I'm voting for John Edwards but so what if he got his girlfriend knocked up!

I second that! Ron Paul knows his business. He is not a religious wacko. He is not a cross dresser. He will not be asleep at the switch. He has had only one wife, they are still married. Good old fashioned conservative republican!

Obama has all you goofs snowed.
Obama is the lesser of two evils.
Well sir I suspect you must be in love with Daley as we all know Obama Omama is in Daleys pocked. We police officers have to keep Obama out at all cost as he is to close to home, if you think Daley has all the power now just want until his president gets in the white house.

Really 3 Billion dollars every month being spent in Iraq, countless American lives ruined, banks going under, recession, your children along with your great grand children will be paying for the ungodly mistakes of this administration. let us not forget the decline of this country, insofar as our infrastructure. Oh we need another 8 years of Republican's God help us.
I find it odd that Obama was endorsed by the Kennedy's.
Seems that as I remember anyway that B Clinton snubbed the old established Democratic party, by ignoring them.
Hence, a hatred for the Clintons. My money is that we shall see Obama and Romney in the general election. McCain? Dont think america will elect someone that old.
I really dont look at Bush as a Republican just more of a Democrat in Republicans clothing. The Democratic Party is the Party of War. Consider- WWII, Korea, Viet Nam all had Democrats in the Oval Office.
Bill Clinton is a rapist sex offender, Hillary Clinton is satan. neither can hurt Obama with Rezko, he only worked for groups with ties to soon to be jailbird Rezko. Bill and Hillary are closet "white supremists", Bill's unprovoked attack on sister soulja, fairy tale that lyndon johnson was the leader of the civil rights movement and another fairy tale that bill can dance, ha. Toni Morrison recanted and said Bill Clinton is not the first black president.
Vote in the Democratic primary AGAINST Obama, then vote your conscience in November.
Whoever said if Obama gets in then we will have a prez who owes Daley big time is absolutely correct, that's not a good thing.
Patrick Fitzgerald will be gone and it is back to normal for the political scum who have ruined my beloved City.
A vote against Obama is a vote against Daley.
Ron Paul is the Republican party's version of Dennis Kocinich.
Two very strange little men.
if obama gets in daleys crimes will increase even more! Lets hope that rod and patty are jailed soon will if also ensnare patties father alderthief dick mell?

You sir are uneducated. During the Clinton Gore years the economy surged yes? Well that was left overs from Reagan and Bush Sr. Then the economy fell flat on its face near the end of the Clinton Reign of Terror. Policies take time to go into effect, they are not over night like most uneducated mopes think. the Democrats are poised to take more of our Constitutional rights away, for example smoking ban it should be a right, we are the land of the free the home of the brave so if you want a non smoking establishment open one, or switch yours over. Who are they to impose the law of such on citizens? Firearm ownership, everyone should have one (minus convicted felons and what not) it has been proven that the right to carry deters violent crime. We live in a State that is broke, a city that is poor and a County that will take years to rebuild, amazingly all run by Democrats. We have a corrupt political machine in this city from the mayor to the aldercreatures, all Democrats. Name one thing a Democrat has done that is good. Please, just one thing . All I have seen is a bloated government on a state, county and municipal level. I have seen the poor getting more while the working get less. Keep on voting democratic asshat.
Now that Rezko is in jail, Obama must be very nervous.
Maybe Rezko will talk about how Obama got his house for 300K under the asking price and Rezko's wife picked up the adjacent vacant lot the same day from the same buyer for the asking price. Rezko's wife then sold a portion of that lot to Obama and dumped the rest.
Coincidence?
Rezko's trump card.

I am the poster who said that compared to Hillary Clinton Obama is the lesser of two evils. No I am not a fan of Richard Daley. Eugene Sawyer and Harold Washington treated us better and with more respect. Daley has ruined this city and is trying to destroy this police department. I understand the concept that all politics is local, but there is a big world out there besides this city, county and state. The Clintons are bad people, pure and simple, and Hillary is worse than Bill. Obama is no prize either, but on a national level he will be easier to beat than Clinton, and that is more important. If the Democrats win, which unfortunately I think they will, Patrick Fitzgerald will be out of here. With his brains and expertise on terrorism I am surprized he is still here. I am no fan of Daley, Clinton or Obama, but look at the big picture, and vote Republican in the fall.
Chapaquidick Kennedey helped kill the Teamster Unions with his regulations on the trucking industry. At the time the teamsters affiliated with the trucking industry voted for Reagan the democratic party had no use for us.

Take a pill! Your wrong on all counts. I'm disgusted with this Administration and that moron in office. You sir are delusional, open up your eyes and see the cesspool of filthy garbage we are dealing with in Iraq because this Moron Bush and company got us into a war by telling lies about freedom .Yet we have a communist country called Cuba that is 90 miles away.Don't get me started about communist China they own the USA, we owe them Trillions of dollars. You Sir need to get your head out of your ass and wake the fuck up. We are the lower Middle class and we are fucked.
When Obama becomes President Barack Hussein Obama, you can count on the Feds kicking in a lot of money for the Richard M. Daley Olympiad. SOoooo its not necessary a bad thing. He might save those of us who live in the city from having to pay so much for it. Besides, I'll be retired and moved out of the city just before that bill comes due.

No way, make sure Obama is not on the ticket. My world is right here I don't want Daley in the white house, too close to home.
Obama did take a bribe from Rezko in the plot of land next to his house. He is a felon and nothing more.
It is simple in November, it is Americans (rep) against anti-Americans (dems), it is that simple.
Don't get me started about communist China they own the USA, we owe them Trillions of dollars. You Sir need to get your head out of your ass and wake the fuck up. We are the lower Middle class and we are fucked.
The way I look at it. The USA is a sub prime mortgage that is owned by communist China and they are ready to foreclose. Yes boys and girls China is the new USA.
Are people so stupid? All Obama does is talk about change and hope. What's the fucking plan Barack? The only thing I have learned about him is that he seems like a little prick if you cross him. He's arrogant and really believes he's worthy. Now Rezko is accepting money from someone with ties to Afghanistan? Maybe this Muslim thing isn't so far-fetched after all.
Follow the money, follow the money.
Looks like HELLARY Clinton, the Shape-Shifting Wombat-Queen darling of the Commie-Crat Party, is losing quite a bit of ground lately. Could it be that it is finally starting to sink into the Dim-Witted Publics minds that HELLARY and her Huckleberry [pussy] Hound husband are really just a couple of America - hating flim-flam con-artists from BumFuk?
A Communist Party called Cuba 90 miles away? We have another one right here in the USA, far more dangerous,it's called the DemocRAT Party. Both are made up of Communists.

Cuba might be 90 miles away, but City Hall/Crook County Building is full of Commie Leaders much closer.

You're worried about big bad Cuba? You better start worrying about China. Their navy is growing and they are flexing their muscles in the Pacific and Indian oceans. As far as Cuba is concerned its all BS. Let's see how many Cuban "exiles" return to Cuba when Fidel dies.
