Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy"About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition."

"Duffy also challenged Ata's testimony regarding what Rezko told him about Karl Rove and an Illinois GOP operative, Robert Kjellander, plotting to replace Chicago U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald. Duffy asked Ata, "you believe Tony Rezko could actually influence President Bush?" Ata, replied, "No." Duffy followed by saying, "Well, the president chooses the U.S. attorney, right?" Ata replied, "Yes."
"So you're suggesting that Mr. Rezko had the influence and power to influence the president?" Ata replied, "Tony Rezko informed me that Bob Kjellander was working with Karl Rove to change the U.S. attorney in Chicago." Karl Rove's attorney denies this claim." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,335592,00.html#ixzz17VHTxitz
