The Clintons have their Whitewater scandal, and now it appears the pius, upstanding Hussein Obama has his.....Tony Rezko.
Rezko is the indicted political fixer who helped Obama buy his dream house. The sellers split the parcel in two, one a vacant lot and one with a home. Obama got a $300,000 discount on the house. The Rezkos paid the full asking price for the lot next door. Obama, who keeps insisting he's told us everything, until something new comes out, admitted recently that he toured the home with Tony before that magical sale. So the real estate fairy sprinkles the magic fairy dust on the Obama dream home. Obama becomes the reform candidate for president, to change American politics as we know it -- except of course in Chicago, where the Daley Machine runs things......with Rezko facing unrelated extortion charges for playing politics the Chicago Way: using government muscle to force business owners into funding political campaigns, with extra cash to stuff a few pockets....
But Rezko is not Barack Hussein Obama's only scandalous connection, William "the anarchist bomber" Ayers is also proving to be an anchor around Obama's neck.
Although never convicted of any crime, he (Ayers) told the New York Times in September 2001, "I don't regret setting bombs...I feel we didn't do enough."......Both Obama and Ayers were members of the board of an anti-poverty group, the Woods Fund of Chicago, between 1999 and 2002. In addition, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama's re-election fund to the Illinois State Senate in April 2001, as reported here. They lived within a few blocks of each other in the trendy Hyde Park section of Chicago, and moved in the same liberal-progressive circles.
......Is there anything here that raises questions about Obama's judgment or is this just another example of guilt by association?

The curtain of mystery is being lifted from the candidate of "change", and it appears in reality that Barack Hussein Obama's life is simply dirty politics as usual.
