"Obama releases names of Rezko-linked donors"
"Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign on Saturday released a list of 43 contributions totaling $73,900 that it says it will donate to charity because they were linked to indicted fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko.

The list at the end of this report — which includes Rezko’s family members, former employees and associates — brings to $159,085 the total contributions that Obama’s campaign said in a statement "could be reasonably credited to Mr.Rezko's political support."

It doesn’t include any cash Rezko raised for the Illinois state legislative campaigns of Obama, now a U.S. senator running for president, nor does it include all contributions made to Obama’s federal races by Rezko-linked donors."

12. He gave back the 'childrens' donations' too,
I just cannot find the link to the
story right now. It was early on in
his campaign and it was a way around
the donor limits by some people.
