Reply #61: the "rezko scandal" [View All]

[Maribelle]

Today, Europeans are talking about this across the pond:

Should Mr Obama win the Democratic nomination for the presidential race, the attack dogs of the Republican Party will be all over the "Rezko scandal". Mr Obama will be attacked for actions which though perfectly legal have left him vulnerable on one of his campaign's key selling points: his good judgement.

He now describes as "boneheaded" a financial deal he made with Mr Rezko to buy a strip of land, just 10 feet wide, from the plot Ms Schwan is now trying to sell. His difficulty is that he made the property deal at a time when his political sponsor and former close friend Rezko has been indicted on federal corruption charges, an affair that was blasted all over the Chicago media.
