The RNC released this web video titled “Lapse in Judgement” back in 2008.

The ad revealed Barack Obama’s dealings with convicted felon and close friend Tony Rezko.
This great ad described Obama’s relationship with the Chicago crook. Unfortunately, the left-wing media didn’t do its job and protected Obama from any honest attacks during the 2008 campaign.
Today Donald Trump went after Obama’s 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 Obama’s birthplace. Now, it’s the latter’s 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 Rezko’s offenses took place), two companies owned by Rezko gave the first ever contributions to Obama’s Illinois Senate campaign. In the 2000s, he served on Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign finance committee.
In 2005, Rezko’s 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 Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.
Reverend Jeremiah G-D America Wright… You’re on standby.
Well, Donald did time as a spokesman for Pizza Hut, and Herman Cain was the CEO of Godfather's. I could go for a two pie ticket, with extra toppings ;-)
How about Death Panels etc?? the list is long of the things that Sarah has had the courage to say.
Alpha Male or bust...
Just in case you are forgetting??? Sarah Palin is the one who said that Obama pals around with terrorists, wanted to make Rev Wright the focus of the 2008 campaign but was over ruled by the top of the ticket.
How about Death Panels etc?? the list is long of the things that Sarah has had the courage to say.
Or how about this? Will the true Christian/Social Conservative please stand up!
Trump is OK for bringing these things up, I appreciate it, but he is no Christian or Social Conservative! You can fool some of the people some of the time...
He is not putting one over on the GOP primary voters, at least not enough of them to come close to the nomination...I HOPE.
Talk about pandering, Trump is really something. Just wait until he loses the primary and then have a listen to what he has to say.
Sarah wanted this brought up when she was running with Juan McCain,, he would have no part of it
The GOP is complicit in getting us in this mess. We went bankrupt back when the debt hit 5 Trillion. Now it is 15 and climbing with over 100 Trillion in unfunded future obligations. They will have to print their way out of this mess sooner or later. Meanwhile they are looting and plundering as much as they can while they can.
If he runs the government like he runs his business, he’ll definitely shake things up. I watch his show on the golf channel....and it is very interesting on how he gets things done and makes sure the best, smartest people are doing their jobs. They respect Trump very much!
Don't blame it on Trump. The GOP makes complete fools of themselves with no help whatsoever.
...and lets remember how they “caved”...I mean “compromised” on the budget deal with the Democrats.
No doubt about it.
I remember when I bought a home in N. Cobb County GA in 1981, someone had put a fairly large billboard on the side of Shallowford Rd. that said, “Say No, no, NO to Trillion Dollar national debt!”
Just 30 years ago. So, since then our debt has gone up nearly half a trillion dollars a year, most of that time under GOP administrations.
That’s what Trump said about his donating to Rahm Emmanuel.
Went on Rush’s show to tell us it’s all about business.
Stinks to high heaven no matter who is doing the donating.
Sorry, but Trump is likely to turn into our worse nightmare.
Good rant. And you’re right: we may be witnessing Common Sense II writ large on TV screens all across the country.
The GOP is part of the problem. Now look what they are up to. The 2 party system has failed.
Is this showing anywhere besides you tube?
What the press hould have done years ago.
The Brown Clown has picked the wrong person to fight with. He comes into the arena unarmed while The Donald has lots of more for him. The Brown Clown has an army of lawyers and a willing media to sheild him from such unpleasantries that Trump has bestowed upon him. Trump has guts and a boat loat of cash to get to the truth. Money is a great lubricant to gain answers to long ignored questions.
