Former Obama Fundraiser Convicted Of Corruption (Obama On Wright & Rezko 'This Isn't The Man I Knew'

Washington Post ^ | 6/5/2008 | Peter Slevin

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Antoin Rezko, a Chicago businessman and longtime fundraiser for Sen. Barack Obama, (D-Ill.), was convicted of 16 felony charges Wednesday...

... The 16 counts included fraud, money laundering and abetting bribery ...

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Obama caught saying the same thing for two different people.

Obama said of Rev. Wright "this isn't the man I knew."

Now, Obama says - concerning Rezko - "this isn't the Tony Rezko I knew."

Those excuses that Obama gives are getting old.

Either Obama is a liar or he lacks good judgment.

So after Iran Nukes Israel..He can say IMANUTJOB is not the man I knew!

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Or both - he is a liar and lacks good judgement. I go with this.

Rezko is a longtime friend of Obama’s and has held fundraisers for him.

Wright, ayers, Rezko, Pfleger, Pfarakhan (WARPP)

Typical of the GOP media, just reporting snippets from the guys accomplishments.

Obama caught saying the same thing for two different people.

Now, Obama says - concerning Rezko - "this isn't the Tony Rezko I knew."

Obama is the Sargent Schultz of politics...

I know nothing!!!

"I'm saddened by today's verdict," Obama said in a statement Wednesday. "This isn't the Tony Rezko I knew, but now he has been convicted by a jury on multiple charges that once again shine a spotlight on the need for reform."

Translation: We need to find people who are better at not getting caught.

Obama after Iran bombs Israel: “This isn’t the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad I knew.”

“This Isn’t The Man I Knew”

Another one under the bus. da da dump dump dump.

[socal_parrot]

He said basically the same think about Bill Ayers, calling him a guy who lives in his neighborhood who is a college professor, and Father Pleger.

[Miss Didi]

Rush reading great piece on Obama and Rezko as we speak.

[Merta]

GET THE BUS GET THE BUS! SCOOP EM UNDER FAST!!

[Beatthedrum]

Is it the same Tony Rezko who did the WH photo-op with Bubba & The Beast - cut them some nice big checks back in the 90s.

Seems to always be missing from this story, same way the Clinton's are never mentioned as past clients of Tony Pellicano, when they talk about his recent conviction..

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Yep.

Both, though, are longtime friends of his.

Rev. Pfleger (according to a 2004 interview by Cathleen Falsani in the Chicago Sun Times: “Obama: I Have A Deep Faith”) shows that Pfleger has been a spiritual advisor to Obama for at least 4 years, and a friend for at least 15 years.

[Merta]

That must be one big bus. Hopefully before the election Michelle will get a turn to ride under the bus along with Ayers and other associates. Man Obama isn’t suited for a dog catcher, he is suited to be a bus driver.

All this means will the voters who voted for him in the primaries, will they be dumped under the bus? Stay Tuned.

P.S.: Remember Obama disassociating himself with Wright? If he can no more disown him than the entire black community, guess who got a free bus ticket besides Jeremiah?

Coming soon: “That’s not the woman I married...”

[shooter223]

Rush is talking about this as I type ........ love it !!!!!!

[Miss Didi]

Rush saying that Barry’s character is off limits, just like Bubba’s. The Drive-Bys are in full cover mode. We can’t talk about his character—we can talk about his race. RUSH: Wonder what Dr. King would think.

[Jeff Head]

Since Wright, Pfleger, Rezko, etc. turned out not to be the men you thought you knew Hussein (and I call that Bravo Sierra...you knew exacly who they were), but just the same, perhaps you are not the man these idolaters think they know.

Nothing you can say or do will convince these people otherwise...


Because I am the one they and I have been waiting for...and I am lovin' it.

But, I believe this, you ARE the man I think I have figured out, and that is the apex of the hate-America, domestic enemy in this country. His election as president would be the greatest coup any enemy has ever scored against this country and could easily lead to the worst, horrific disaster in our nation's history.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

[Bluebird Singing]

Dear Obama, if you didn’t know this about this guy, you are way too stupid to be President of the United States. Of course, you are not this stupid. You are a liar.
