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.

"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."

Hello, hello? Is that you, Hillary? Did your minions arrange for this sleazy shakedown artist to get caught, or did you merely ensure that his prosecution and connection with Obama would get wide publicity? Funny, Hillary, how this thing gets so much more attention than your own fundraising scandals.....

"Furthermore, his father is Muslim--"


If his father is Muslim, Obama's sympathy must be with CAIR, ACLU and other unsavory organizations. If he ever becomes POTUS this country's goose is cooked.

"He should be referred to as the disgraced Barack Hussein Obabama, Jr."


How about Osama bin Obama, as Ted kennedy once named him?

Obama has as much chance of becoming POTUS as Robert Kennedy...HINT...

From the attached article, it looks like Obama has already learned the most advantageous timing and the appropriate rhetoric to "distance" himself from "Tony" Rezko....by the way, could ANYONE named "Tony" Rezko EVER be anything but a sleazy crook? Doesn't the name just drip and ooze seediness and larceny?

<< Hillary likes you or she doesn't. >>

Wrong.

Missus Cli'ton has any use whatever for you or she doesn't.

Narcissistic Personality Disordered and Psychopathological Projection Syndrome suffering, Missus Cli'ton, doesn't like anyone.

Beginning with her own manifestation-of-evil self.

Expect to see him on Oprah soon.

"Miss Oprah, I don't know nothing about no land deals!"

Funny you mention that . . . he did make an appearance on her show a week or two ago. The few minutes I saw made me ill.

--Every story should be edited to include his full name: Barack Hussein Obama. --

It has a nice ring to it. Hey, Barack Hussein, how's it hangin'?

Now if Rush, Hannity, etc. can do the same, it will irritate the $#!t out of the leftist crowd.

--So much for the Clinton/Obama ticket. Jon Carry is a political "dead man walking".

Clinton/Lieberman--

That one will last until someone brings up her 'dirty Jooo' comments about Dick Morris.

--has anyone seen this yet in the MSM? didn't think so....--

The linked article is from the Boston Globe - a subsidiary of the NY slimes (via Associated w/terrorists Press). That's quite MSMish, and it serves to clear the path for the Queen Hildebeest's coronation.
