Are you posters being paid to trash Obama or are you doing it because you think it will help your candidate (McCain)?
Here’s the tell: No one is bringing up anything about Whitewater except supposed “Clinton supporters” who say that others are bringing it up. Most Obama supporters were on the front lines defending the Clintons against the unfair prosecution and silly impeachment.
And how come no one mentions all the money Rezko raised for G. W. Bush? He actually contributed to the Clintons as well. This guy is just trying to buy influence by throwing money out there and see if he can get some pay back. He did not buy Obama’s house. He only seems to have gotten a photo from the Clintons. Did he get stuff from W? Is anybody checking on that? I didn’t think so.
As for Hillary Clinton, she brought up Rezko in a debate. I did not hear Obama or his campaign say a word about Whitewater or Lewinsky or any of the nightmare pseudo-scandals of the Clinton years. He has too much class.

It is nice to see that the negatives about Obama are being shown to the American people. Why is it that we need to search this information out for ourselves. It is as if the media is afraid to report it.
Let’s face it, the media, especially MSNBC has been Obama’s puppet. It is sickening to see that the media has abused its power.
I am sure that if the people knew about this before, they may have taken another look at Obama, up, down and around all of the “change” signs.

Hillary has 30 years of service, Obama is a neubie, and he still hasn’t got a clean closet? He is a hypocrite of worst sort! Not a man to take charge in the middle of a war when thousands of soliders are risking their lives and dies every day.
What is unbelievable is the horrible job US media done covering this campaign. Excerps from the lifestory from the Obama book and superficial critizism of the man’s middle name just doesn’t cut it. (Note: Hussein is not a negative!)
Nobody wrote on how the Dems oldguard was running Obama like a puppet, doing their bit to hide the fact Hillary is winning votes. Every day they drip Superdelegates to rain on her fantastic achievement.

Missouri: I don’t know where you got your information at but Rezko only donated to Obama $250,000 and Obama did not return $100,000. Everyone knows that and it was in the news. Rezko also bought Obama’s house for him. The donations that Obama got were from cooked organizations like Rezko. Hillary did not get donations from people like that. Besides that Obama couldn’t write out a check for 3 million because he only has less than 2 million but the Clinton’s can write out a check for 25 million and they wouldn’t be broke. Hillary loaned herself 11.4 million therefore debt is 10 million not 20 million. You can’t include her own money.

Nia: I believe Obama knows all about Rezko’s wheeling and dealing and the courts appear to be afraid of a scandal because he is campaigning for the presidency. Obama is no saint when it comes to being crooked. He probably did a lot of favors for Rezko that’s why Rezko bought him his house. And his closes ties to Ayers that bombed this country three times. What true American would be friends with a person that hates-america? Obama!!

James: Obama is no match for McCain and I believe McCain will win the election if Hillary is not the nominee. If Al Gore would endorse Hillary she would surpass Obama and go on to win the nomination but he isn’t endorsing anyone at this time. I believe he should because Clinton used him as his running mate. Hillary would win by a landslide.

Everyone… Please
I’ve read all of your comments. Some right and some very wrong.
I read where the FBI investigated and still found nothing implicating Obama.
First and foremost, please remember, the FBI really has little to do with Obama’s investiagion and Rezko’s as well. We’re talking Department of Justice and Homeland Security. The media, you and I have no idea what they know. And, rightfully, we shouldn’t at this time.
But, common logic says, “money crossed the water,” and “going to and from what country?”
I’m no comspiracy theorist, but I see a waking giant. And, we should begin thinking hard about Senator Obama and his judgments.

“OH WHAT WEB WE WEAVE, WHEN FIRST WE PRACTICE TO DECEIVE”. True to that. Expose Obama! We deserve to know the whole truth!!!! And then make your judgement call! EXPOSE HIM!

What about Rezko’s ties to Karl Rove? Karl Rove tried to have Fitzgerald, the prosecutor, pulled off a case at the urging of Tony Rezko. Why isn’t Rove being dragged into this? Why the favortism toward the Bush White House?

This man has no values! He doesn’t deserve to hold ANY office. What is wrong with the Democratic party?
He does have more skeletons than boot hill.
