The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the FBI is looking into whether or not former Obama pal Tony Rezko -- convicted in June of attempted extortion, mail and wire fraud, and aiding and abetting bribery -- paid for all or part of $90,000 worth work on the Northwest Side Chicago home of Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
Rezko apparently liked helping out his politician pals on their real estate transactions. As you may recall, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Rezko's wife, Rita, bought adjacent properties in a controversial and complicated series of real estate transactions, one of which Obama later called "boneheaded" because it might cause people to think he'd been done a favor in exchange for something untoward, which he denies is the case. Rezko at the time was under federal investigation.
A federal judge Wednesday froze more than $100,000 of Rezko's cash. Rezko's sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 28.

October Surprise, here we come.
Is this the issue that turns the tide?
Or is America and the media too brainwashed?
We’ll soon see.
Well it’s about frickin’ time!
I’ve been assailing the McCain camp for months for not dragging Obama’s dregs into the light.
And just like cockroaches if you can see one by day there are likely tens of thousand behind the walls.
Gee, do you think McCain’s strategy for the next debate is still a secret?
Well, well, I never thought anything like this would come out in the Mainstream Media, especially the media in Chicago.
The MSM will not spend 10 minutes on it.
Which one....there are so many to choose from.....
On another note....IT’S ABOUT FREEKIN’ TIME!
Oh the MSM is going to have their hands full spinning on the Sunday shows tomorrow.
I’d say with our financial system in such bad shape it might be hard to get people to focus on Obama’s associations BUT if ANYONE can do it, Gov. Palin can and WILL!!
I fear the “news” media will cover this up for him. Or the screams of “stop the negative campaigning!” will overshadow the revelations. But just maybe it will have enough of an impact to boost the GOP ticket a little. If they play it smart on other issues they could come from behind and win this.
Oops! The post didn’t show up the first time so I hit the dern thing agin’
I’ll believe it when I see it....

Here is the BILL AYERS ad, pass it around.
I heard an interview with someone from this project last night, it was absolutely CHILLING.
They spent a big chunk of money on lawyers to even get this produced, all of it is true, Obama’s high priced liberal inside D.C. lawyers were all over them before they even released it. They are being intimidated with CRIMINAL prosecution for a political ad.
What is going on with Obama is pure Stalinist tactics. In Missouri, as he said the threat of being CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED for not telling the truth about Obama is enough for 95% of people to Shut Up.
They were threatening CRIMINAL prosecution if you disagreed that 95% of people would get a tax cut with Obama’s plan.
Please also watch this video too and pass it around.

Our only way to fight back is to educate people, about 20-25% of the people are lost in this country, we will win this election.
One of the new oddities here, if you hit refresh after you post you will see that your comment was posted.
Sarah Palin is taking a stand. How about John McCain -- How about you?
Reader: Use your energy ask the tell the truth to the voters. Do it now, while there is time. You do it. Now:
Everyone Web search: "Cloward-Piven AND Obama"
Then send the information you find to every GOP office holder and everyone in conservative media.
Hypothetical Obama: “I’m sure everyone in their life has had business and personal associations with people whose conduct has not been above reproach. You try to help these people back to the straight path, but that doesn’t always work.”
