Obama ducks the questions
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 4-25-07 | Carol Marin

For five long weeks, Sun-Times' investigative reporter Tim Novak called, e-mailed, requested, practically pleaded with Obama's press people to provide information about the senator's relationship to Rezko when it came to the development of low-income housing in Chicago. In an abundance of fairness and an excess of solicitousness, Novak sent a list of questions.

For five weeks, no answer.

Jointly, on behalf of both the Sun-Times and NBC5 News, Novak and I sent Obama's campaign requests to interview the senator for both print and television.

Again, no answer.

I hope you’re right!

The MSM will never ask the important questions and is complicit in the fabrication of the “fairytale” that is Barack Obama.

While he’s at it, Timmy should be preparing a list of questions for Hillary about Peter Paul...

Don't count on it

A spokesman for U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald declined to comment.

Scooter Libby says this smear / leak / innuendo smells of Clinton Inc.

I’ve read somewhere that Rezko is from the middle east — Lebanon I believe, but haven’t seen anything about him being a Muslim..

Does anyone know if Rezko is a practitioner of the ROP?

“But Novak’s reports this week raise new questions about just how much attention Obama, a self-described activist, was paying to the critical issue of affordable housing in the district he used to represent as a state senator. It again involved Rezko, his longtime patron, who had 11 failed or failing buildings in Obama’s district.”

Ouch! Savior Obama in bed with a slumlord.

That’s gonna leave a mark.

I would say the MSM is starting to split like the dems. They won’t work exclusively for either side.
