The RNC released this web video titled Lapse in Judgement back in 2008.
http://youtu.be/Aj4_rtyfFu8
The ad revealed Barack Obamas dealings with convicted felon and close friend Tony Rezko.
This great ad described Obamas relationship with the Chicago crook. Unfortunately, the left-wing media didnt do its job and protected Obama from any honest attacks during the 2008 campaign.
Today Donald Trump went after Obamas close ties to convicted criminal Tony Rezko. IB Times reported:
President Obama never did a deal in his life except with Tony Rezko, said Donald Trump on Fox News.
People should look into that one, he added.
Trump once again went on the offensive against Obama. His previous point of attack was doubts over Obamas birthplace. Now, its the latters long history with Tony Rezko, who Hillary Clinton in 2008 called a slum landlord.
Rezko is am Illinoisan political fundraiser who was convicted for fraud and bribery in 2008. He was accused of using his political position to extort money from businesses seeking contracts from the Illinois Teachers System Board and the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board.
Back in the 1990s (before Rezkos offenses took place), two companies owned by Rezko gave the first ever contributions to Obamas Illinois Senate campaign. In the 2000s, he served on Obamas U.S. Senate campaign finance committee.
In 2005, Rezkos wife bought a lot adjacent to a house Obama purchased for $625,000 and subsequently sold a part of it to Obama. The deal generated much controversy back in Obamas 2008 presidential campaign.

Youre on standby.
OK Donald...you’ve got my attention now.
By the way, Tony Rezko is a Muzzie. Funny that.>>>>>>>>>
He is a Christian Arab but he does business with anyone including Chicago black Muslims and Arab Muslims. IIRC he had one of Louis Farakkan sons as his right hand man. It was helpful for doing business in Chicago

He is not Donald. He is not a Donald. He is The Donald and don’t you forget it!
It never got the media play. Outside of the GOP websight nobody saw it.
Trump is a media and PR king. He says it people listen. He brings it up, buz occures. It is the classic death by a thousand cuts. Yesturday it is the long form, what is on it, why hide it, today it is Rezko, wow that deal is shady, Could you get a convicted slumloard to buy a property for 3/4 of a million and sell you 40 % of it for 100K and not go to jail? Obama can. Tomorrow it is Write the bigot, then it is colleg e transcropts. You know damn well Obama was a mediocre Afirmative action student, he is too damn ignorant to have gone to Columbia and HArvard wthout generous help.
It is all good. The more he denegrates Obama the better. It makes him look shifty and stupid. So let Trump beet up on him.
Trump may have gone into bankruptcy, and have been saved from bankruptcy another time by his father, but he was never a convicted slum lord.
All I know is that Obama must think Trump is an answer to his prayers. He is distracting the public from all the mistakes Obama is/has been making as president.
I highly doubt it bad publicity is still publicity in Hollywood, but it is death to a politician.
Anything that makes him look bad is good. Besides, who doesn’t know that the economy sucks and gas costs $4 on its way to $7. Trump is hitting that as well.
Remember it doesn’t reflect badly on the Republicans because they don’t like him either.
I never said that Trump was a slumloard, RezKo is the slumloard, obma’s buddy and campaignbundler, his friend who helpedhim buy a $2 million house for 1.5. That’s a good friend to have.
You know the house. The one he hasn’t been to in a couple years.
Were you politically aware in the later 90s? Look at what happened with Clinton. There was proof of any number of things he did. It didn’t make a bit of difference. Clinton was great at having one scandal distract another scandal.
Bill Ayers next?
Exactly! The GOP must like abuse. They called me right after the shooting in AZ. In light of the brutal attacks by the democrats and the media, I asked if they could point me to just one offical statement that was made in defense of themselves, the Tea Party and/or Sarah Palin. The woman on the other end made some remark about not having that sort of information available.
In an amazing show of self control I did not say what was on my mind, but asked them to put me on their no call list. Haven’t heard anything since - but did give $25.00 to Bachman.
There was a time when politicians were automatically held accountable for criminal ties.
It’s very strange that we’ve reached a point where a person gets credit for holding them accountable, like Trump is doing to Obama.
The Rezco thing was no secret before the 08 elections, yet Trump had nothing but praise for Obama then. The only person Donald liked more was Hillary Clinton.
Rezko is a Muslim? I’d never heard that before. Not surprising, of course.
This article makes me want to cry that a people could be so duped.
