**INTERNET EXCLUSIVE Photo surfaces of smiling Clintons with Tony Rezko... MORE... Clinton injected the indicted developer's name this week in heated debate with Obama: 'I was fighting against those ideas when you were practicing law and representing your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner city Chicago'... Clinton tells NBC 'TODAY' show on Friday: 'I probably have taken hundreds of thousands of pictures. I don't know the man. I wouldn't know him if he walked in the door'... Developing...
Phew... I feel alot better now, thanks for the thread.
Sorry for the rant FRiend, I had to vent :)
“Its obviously photoshopped.... There is an American flag in the photo.”
True, but the American flag was the only thing added or edited in the photo. They didn’t want anyone to know what flag was really there when the photo was taken.
“I am surely not a Clinton supporter. In fact, I despise Hillary. However, I could give the benefit of the doubt about her not remembering taking picture with someone.”
If it were that simple I think many would agree with you. But this type of thing has happened before (John Huang, I think) and it always seems to be a big donor that is in trouble that they can not remember.
“Name one other couple you know of that is this cozy with criminals.”
Al and Tipper Gore?
Every black Democrat ought to be worried that their anointed saint Obamarama is hooked at the (fundraising) hip with sleazeball corrupt Rezko here in the Chicago political machine. We’re talking real estate deals and all that.
Which one(s)?
Ugh. Little did I know this sleeeeeeeeezeball is a "neighbor" of mine. Kind of like FReeper Ken5050 is a Chappaqua "neighbor" of Hillary's.
Antoin "Tony" Rezko is a real estate developer and close advisor of Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Rezko has been linked to dozens of top Blagojevich staffers. Professionally, Rezko and his business partner, Daniel Mahru, own The Rezmar Corporation, a real estate development company founded in 1989 and based in Chicago. It offers property acquisition, planning, development, management, and sales and marketing. Rezmar has developed over 1,500 residential units in Chicago, including River North's Hudson Tower, River West's St. John's Park Town homes, River Walk Town homes, and the Commonwealth Single Family Homes. Rezko is also connected to Rezko Concessions Inc. The Rezmar Corporation is a career patron of Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn (D).
From January 1, 1993 through June 30, 2006, the Rezmar Corporation, Tony Rezko, and Rezko Concessions all gave a total of $207,000 to candidates for Illinois statewide constitutional and legislative office ($85,000 from the Rezmar Corporation, $75,000 from Tony Rezko, and $47,000 from Rezko Concessions Inc.). 97% of these funds went to Democrats.
Mayor Daley's Contributions
Mayor Richard M. Daley has become a fundraising juggernaut. In the eight weeks leading up to the Feb. 27 election, he collected more than $3 million in campaign cash, one of the reasons he is all but assured an easy victory. Using data filed by Mr. Daley's campaign committee with the Illinois State Board of Elections, Crain's created a searchable database of the Mayor's contributions going back to 1999.

Uhhhh....okay....so how is it, exactly, that you knew he was a slumlord and that Obama had ties to him?
The Clintons have an edge over Obama since the Rezko problem is certified by Federal indictments. However, the Clintons (and others) are standing on top of mountains of more serious problems that have been and are currently protected from surfacing. Its sad for all of us since our Election process isnt being allowed to display the needed honesty as it should and thus giving us planned outcomes rather than The Peoples Choice. I dont feel its necessary for me to offer details here since most of this has been in the news.
However the Rezko problem is personal to me since it involves my ex-wifes family along with my second son. I have three children in the middle of this mess. And there are mountains more that link them to others all the way up the line. Since the news has been surfacing scandals and problems that I know includes the family, Ive been desperately trying to encourage them to get out of this mess. This mess also includes many others including Clyde OConnors family. Clyde was one of the pilots flying the Drug Jets carrying TONS of cocaine that was busted in Mexico last year. Clydes family is linked by marriage to my ex-wifes family and Ive been desperately trying to get them out of this mess also.
Guess who also is involved in this mess? Believe me as Obamas problem is nothing compared to someone elses problem!

Rezko was sprinkling money around for YEARS and would not have gone unnoticed by the Toons.
Good one bro ..
With drugs involved it’s also likely that there is a Clinton/CIA/Mena angle to all this too from WAY back when.
Well well...look what an internet search turned up...here’s the URL from Chicago Magazine, Nov 2007 issue.a report in 5 pages...

Seems like Rezko was a big contributor to the Dem party and loved to be around the politically powerful...Hence the picture with the Clinkstones..notice he is the center of the picture, what a power broker..
Oh and he also tried to recruit Obama who was editor of the Harvard Law Review..Obama declined and took a job with a law firm..Later Rezko threw a fundraiser for Obama, just as he did for Gov.Blagojevich...Obama was smart to avoid this guy...but looks like the Clinkstones were attracted to the money and power magnet...
He was also going to build a power plant in Iraq but that hasn’t panned out...guess the war in Iraq busted that idea...Now he’s under Federal indictment with his trial to begin Feb 25, 2008...”...indicted on charges of extorting kickbacks from businesses seeking contracts from the Blagojevich administration”...
Nah, it’s just liberals who have given up thinking and make a high school dare of smoking pot to AMerica. there. Aristocratic spoiled lil’ do nuthin’ brats, all of ‘em.
