CHICAGO --Responding to a newspaper report, Sen. Barack Obama said Saturday that arrangements he had with a political fundraiser accused of shaking down companies might have raised the appearance of impropriety.
Antoin "Tony" Rezko, whom Gov. Rod Blagojevich has described as a friend and a fundraiser, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he plotted to squeeze millions of dollars in kickbacks out of investment firms seeking state business. He also has pleaded not guilty to obtaining a $10.5 million loan from General Electric Capital Corp. through fraud and swindling a group of investors.

I guess that, to a Democrat, "diversity" means including crooks and those beholden to them.

Remember Kerry's 2004 comment that
[Republicans] are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen

Folks should take a look at the FEC records for the name Rezko. There was money going to more pols in addition to Obama.

"Heck no. After two years, they're already calling him the New Jack Kennedy."
What was it that Lloyd Bentsen said to Dan Quayle way back in 1988? Same goes for Obama. He is definitely NOT the next JFK. Just another corrupt DemocRAT...just as we always suspected...lay down with dogs, get up with fleas.

You don't think the dems would be making a big deal out of this if Osama Obama was a Republican, do you????
Nawwww.....I didn't think so either.
When the new Senate opens with the Republican Party still in the majority, I pray the new majority leader will DEMAND hearings on the scores of issues democrats have been given a pass on for just the past 6 years !!!

I have thought he was crooked from the beginning. Too "perfect" for reality.

"It was a mistake to have been engaged with him at all in this or any other personal business dealing that would allow him, or anyone else, to believe that he had done me a favor," Obama said in a written statement Saturday. "For that reason, I consider this a mistake on my part and I regret it."
I love how everything crooked is a "mistake" especially after they are caught with their hand in the cookie jar and the sh** hits the fan over it.
