That is just pitiful. Is there anyone left in the press that is not “in bed” with Obama?! Drudge needs to hang his head in shame.

All federal prosecutors will be standing in unemployment lines by about 1:30pm on Jan 20, 2009.

Except the ones currently investigating the Bush administration for firing federal prosecutors.

Nah, I bet they’ve been expecting this and have a contingency plan. Especially if they’re guilty of something, and they very likely are.

That they serve at the pleasure of the President (except the ones that Bush fired).

Question: Is it better to take down Obama because he was not born here, or because he was part of some corrupt enterprise in Illinois.

Answer: Trick question. Neither will take him down because he is the anointed one.

The MSM newspapers are all filing chapter 11 bankruptcy now. I ditched my local paper when they published a so-called opinion piece about Palin that was not even well-written. I thanked them for finally giving me an excuse to fire them after all these years.

Link to 10/23/2006 Sun Times story that Rezko sent governor wish list: 10 of 19 people Rezko recommends are appointed or has spouses named by Gov. Blagojevich. See any familiar names. We know Rezko is connected to Obama.

Yes, it does all look fishy but the fact remains that the actual crime occurred in the Mutual Bank/Rezko wife deal. That was completed and then the house was later sold to Obama. Since Obama came into the picture after the crimes occurred and had no direct involvement in that crime, he is free and clear. It may indeed be scandalous or look slimy, but that isn’t a crime for which concrete evidence exists.

“Since Obama came into the picture after the crimes occurred and had no direct involvement in that crime, he is free and clear.

But the Mutual Bank/Rezko wife deal was part and parcel of Obama’s acquisition of the property. The sales closed on the same day and allegedly this was important to the seller even though “possibly” there had been higher offers for one parcel or the other. If the “plan” was to get the equivalent of a $2.65 million property to Obama for only $1.6 million, then Rezko’s wife was an integral part of that deal, both in terms of overpaying for her lot and in terms of later agreeing to sell 1/6 to Obama, thereby making the balance of her lot non-buildable. Clearly, establishing the second crime—a sizable gift to a politician in exchange for subsequent political favors—is harder than establishing the crime committed by Rezko’s wife. Moreover, Obama need not have known about the latter crime to participate in the former.

But consider the sequence of events: Rezko’s wife “buys” the property on the same day Obama closes, sells 1/6 of it just months later and then sells the remainder shortly thereafter. On it’s face, it’s sort of obvious that the entire transaction was done as a favor to Obama. So in that sense, the first crime was committed as a means to accomplish a larger crime etc.

Yes, all of that is true. But we are talking about two different events here. One where the bank and Rezko’s wife committed a blatant and obvious crime and can be prosecuted for it. And then two, Obama was involved in a “shady” deal with no concrete evidence that he was a part of the first crime.

My point is that Obama was obviously involved in something slimy here but it was orchestrated perfectly so that he has plausible deniability. These nebulous circumstances will keep any prosecutor from ever wasting time on pursuing Obama’s involvement. Thus Obama’s involvemnt in any criminal wrongdoing is a non-story.

Where are the Obama brainwashed children's choir? They sang he was gonna change the world. They need to learn a new propaganda tune.

Obama's so beautiful to Venice children...he's so innocent. (somethin' like that)
