Obama..cleverly I might add...appeared at the Chicago Tribune on Friday. In case you did not hear...he admitted he lied about the $ contributed by Rezko...it's 250K. THis did not get much play yet because his hater minister was taking up all the news time...my comments are in parenthesis.
From the Chicago Tribune.....3/16/08 John Kass..Sorry John..I couldn't resist inserting my editorial comments after reading....
..... I was left alone with a problem: Obama asks us to believe he can swim in the sewers of Illinois politics without catching a cold. He tells us that Rezko helped him scope out his dream house, yet Obama never thought he'd get a call from Tony saying his back was itchy.
"No," Obama said. "Because I had known him for a long time, and so I would have assumed I would have seen a pattern [of Rezko asking for favors] over the course of 15 years." ( That's right, it takes Nobama 20 years to figure something out...please see hater minister Wright tapes and excuses on Friday night given by Nobama)
I'm too old to believe in fairy tales.(me too)
At issue is the purchase of the Obama dream house on the South Side in 2005. The Rezkos bought the lot next door from the same owners on the same day, even as Tony was leprous with federal subpoenas. The Obamas paid $300,000 less than the asking price. The Rezkos paid the full list for the lot. Everybody was happy until Tony got indicted. ( natually, he may not have been present when those subpoenas were delivered....come on...give the guy some slack)
Was it a favor, with a bigger payout intended for later?( you do the math)
"No," Obama said again, reiterating that I was wrong for writing that he needed Rezko's help to buy his home. (Shame on you)
Obama said he asked Rezko about the federal investigations, if Rezko had any problems, and Tony said no, and Barack believed it. ( Hey, per Nobama...I never heard my minister in 20 years of conversations utter a discouraging word about whites, the US, jews or any other group....I bet you all feel confident now when he talks to our enemies around the world? He'll simply accept their "word")
What will he say when Vladimir Putin of Russia asks President Obama to believe him? ( See comment above.....Feeling confident now America?)
So I left half-satisfied, thinking Obama more naive than crooked, wondering what the Daleys of Chicago and the Kennedys of Massachusetts will do to him. ( I'm still stuck on the 20 year timeline...no time for trying to figure out this math word problem)
Obama was asked if coming out of the most politically corrupt city in America hinders his image as a reform candidate for the presidency. (I'm sure he soared high above it.....well, with the exception of Rezko, Ayers....picture looking clearer?)
"Look, Sen. [Hillary] Clinton comes out of New York, and there are apparently some issues there as well," he said, chuckling about the flameout of Clinton's superdelegate and soon-to-be-former-governor, Eliot Spitzer. "I think that all of you have been following my career for some time. I think that I have done a good job in rising politically in this environment, without being entangled in some of the traditional problems of Chicago politics. ( We understand Nobama...you are on the 20 year plan to figure potential powder keg problems out..).
"I know that there are those, like John Kass, who would like me to decry Chicago politics more frequently." (You were not in the state senate for 20 years..we understand your lack of frequency)
Just the corrupt parts, I said. (Umm...would that involve Rezko?)
"I'll leave that to his editorial commentary, but I think it's fair to say that I have conducted myself in my public office with great care and high ethical standards," he said. ( Define ethics please)
