The RNC released this web video titled “Lapse in Judgement” back in 2008.
http://youtu.be/Aj4_rtyfFu8
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.

I loved the way he worked the ‘ladies’ on the View.
He had them tied into screeching knots -
He is not afraid of anyone and I find that admirable -
Thank you for the ping Lucy. Had the MSM not covered the Rezko connection up, we would not have a Muslim Marxist Halfrican usurper in the WH.
Mansion? 6400 square feet it a mansion/ LOL That house is ugly and it’s NOT a mansion.
These are mansions:

The Donald DOES NOT CARE what the hit squad does. Right he does not and that is why he is their worse nightmare.
When I said it will be seen for what it is, a catch up attack, I meant the Dem smears which are going to come, bet on it. Trump will not back down from the heat but I really do not think he is actually going to run. He is doing the work that the GOP refuses to do for whatever reason. If they don’t take up the cause soon, they will become irrelevent.
I am loving, LOOOVING this! Trump not only saying the emperor has no clothes, he’s also pointing out where the warts are. And if the left retaliates, what does he care? There are no skeletons in his closet because he himself drags them out. Oh sure, he may abrasive, and lacks a pretentious finesse sometimes needed when doing the foreign schmoozing, but dammit he’s gonna drill in my backyard, go after the debt, shine spotlights on the shysters.....its what we need now.
Its just a perfect setup, its almost too good to be true.
You know it will be either Donald Jr. or Ivanka.
No, they are letting Trump do the legwork and make the accusations, while they sit back and watch. Then when its time to start the campaign, they have the dirt they dirt they need without having spent the time and money to get it. Trump is the unoffical useful idiot.......unless he actually gets elected. ;-)
Trump was on Rush a few weeks ago...touting his new golf course in Florida....they sounded like old golf buddies.
Walking down memory lane to January 2008...ABC news released a pdf provided by Opensecrets.com showing Rezko, Rezmar, employees and associates donated $100,100 to Obama’s campaigns dating from 1999-2007 that was apparently not returned after Rezko was found guilty in 2008. Since 2008, this may have changed, however. <”http://abcnews.go.com/images/Blotter/obama_rezko_contributions080125.pdf";>
Palin has had over two years to make this an issue and go after Obomba. She is letting Trump do the heavy lifting. I’m disappointed in her, because she has no office to protect.
Ivana trumps Moochelle la Belle
I’m not convinced about trump for president, however, any enemy of my enemy is my friend when it comes to 0bama.
Or trying to protect their share of the Loot.
BINGO
Double BINGO!
Wow! The twists and turns to this story are amazing! Thanks for posting this Brown Deer!
There are very few who have (gone on the offensive against Obama) in his entire sordid life. And none seem to have the ability to get covered like this guy. No doubt the Obama/Rat personal destruction machine is being recalibrated to go after Trump with everything it can bring...and that alone is a service Trump is providing. Something tells me that the personal destruction machine is going to blow a few gaskets going after this guy.
A president is not exempted from any crimes he committed prior to taking office. He can be prosecuted. If the crimes occur during his term in office, then he can be impeached.
There is certainly nothing wrong with your eyesight!
Love your tagline!!!
Enough with the copy-paste already.
How many threads have you posted this to?
I no longer answer my home phone unless I know who is on the other end (caller id). My friends and family mostly call on my cell phone. Most calls appear nowadays to be political. An 800 number coming from DC is a real tip off. However a few times they have annoyed me by calling repeatedly in a single day. In those cases, i eventually pick up the phone and explain what harassment is. I will never give to the party again. My money goes to candidates only.
