So let us look at Obamas’ earmarks. Let’s begin when he was a state Senator for illinois. I believe he earmarked 14 milllion for renewal of buildings in south chicago. For a reward Reznik gave him 300,000 value in land next to a property he had bought the same day as Reznik.

TS, I think you meant Resko, Judy Resnik was one of the Challenger crew.

It was more than 300,000. Rezko bought the adjoining land for 650,000. When 0bama later wanted to buy 1/6th of it, the 1/6th was valued at 40,000. So Rezko bought the adjoining land for around 400,000 more than it was worth.
