I highly doubt Donald Trump is presidential material, but he sure makes for one great Republican attack dog. Finally a celebrity big enough to get the attention of Americans outside of the conservative community is speaking out against Obama’s shady past. After once again raising legitimate concerns over Obama’s sham “birth certificate” during an appearance on the Fax News program Hannity, Trump expressed alarm over Obama’s real estate dealings with convicted Chicago influence peddler Antoin “Tony” Rezco.
For those of you who still haven’t heard, Obama’s Chicago home that he bought in 2005 was located on a property split into 2 parcels; one with the house and the other an adjacent side yard. The owner was willing to sell the properties separately, but only if they were purchased at the same time. Since Obama couldn’t afford to buy both, he had to find a sugar daddy to back him or he could kiss his dream home goodbye.
Obama did exactly what you would expect out of a sleazy Chicago politician, he turned to his biggest campaign contributor, Tony Rezco, to purchase the side yard for him. On the same day that Obama closed on his home for $1.65 million, $300,000 less than list price, Rezco’s wife bought the adjacent parcel for the full asking price of $625,000. A year later Rezco sold a 10 ft. strip of the land to Obama for $104,500, which rendered the remainder of Rezco’s property too small to be developed and, for all intents and purposes, worthless. To this day the land remains empty.
Obama would have us believe these transactions, made with a man who later went to jail for fraud and bribery, were some sort of cosmic coincidence that had nothing to do with Rezco’s purchase of influence in an up and coming State Senator. Common sense indicates otherwise. As Trump pointed out on Hannity, other politicians have had their careers destroyed for far less an indication of impropriety.
Trump has done a great job breaking through the MSM iron curtain to publicize the facts surrounding Obama’s birth certificate, or more accurately the lack thereof, and I can only hope he will do the same with Rezco. While liberals may be able to chuckle away the “was he born in Hawaii or wasn’t he” deal, a convicted slumlord’s involvement in Obama’s purchase of multi-million dollar home is no laughing matter.
Man, I wish I had loads of money - I’d buy that lot, put up a Pro-Life Christian Center and invite everyone in for weekly revival meetings and minister to those in need!
But Trump, how can we trust a single word coming out of your mouth?
You can trust this. He's going to be bringing up Rezko Rezco Rezco at the media and Obama.
You got a problem with Trump speaking out about the BC and barry’s associates?
The “Republican Establishment” is about to get whacked. What part of Constitutional Conservative do they not understand.
Who said he was conservative? Why the angst against someone speaking out about things that NEED to be addressed?
If you have any energy left - you might be wise to use it for those on the left - take your pick.
I’m sure Eric Holder will get right on it.
Frankly, I’m surprised someone hasn’t already put a hit on ol’ Tony.
Not much. Maybe only the parts they perceive that benefit them.
People here who watch TV enable and empower Obama. They think Fox Al Waleed and ball games don’t count. The NBA. NFL, NCAA, MBL and the sports channels love Obama and run endless dumb white guy commercials. until idiots get the connection - forget them having a clue about the Constitution. A nation of idiots.
Prove it. Lawyers have been trying for two years with no results. I don’t want to disillusion you but the birther claims are ranked right up there with the truther claims and the UFO claims. We’ll have to take Obama on based on his record. That alone is enough to see him out the door in 2012. This is a distraction.
Get lost with ‘we will have to take Barry...crapola. I don’t want to disillusion you but you aren’t too sharp on this conservative board.
the thing with donald trump is he A) he attacks and B) he can put sentences together with stuttering, cowering, or wilting under MSM pressure.
That’s an intelligejnt response. Thank you! LOL
Well, they are soon to hear from the electorate.
The Bush’s and Rove dislike anyone who is not solid beltway society. You can bet Herman Cain will soon be on their list, too.
Rezko started giving Urkel money in he was still in college.
Can you imagine how loud and how long the media would have screamed if Bush had gone on a junket to Rio with the CEO of Halliburton and the CEO of G.E. and then appointed the G.E. head as a Czar to oversee creating jobs in America after he had fired 27,000 of our citizens and moved their jobs to China?
Yeah that’s it. Investigate past shady real estate deals. That worked so well against Clinton. /s
