Time for Obama to come clean (Rezko story isn't going to go away)

Chicago real estate developer and fast-food magnate Antoin 'Tony' Rezko leaves federal court in Chicago in this Oct. 19, 2006, file photo. Rezko spent years pouring thousands of dollars in campaign contributions into Barack Obama's climb from the Illinois legislature to Capitol Hill, and helped him raise tens of thousands more. But these days Rezko is snared in a nasty political scandal and facing a federal corruption trial that begins next month. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh, File)

This is minor league stuff compared to what the Clintons have been involved in over the last 3 decades. I’m no fan of Obama but I would like to see just as much attention paid to the Clinton’s shady dealings and associations.

[libh8er]

Why doesn’t Barry go on the counter attack ? It’s called Offense !! For ever Rezko there are dozens of Norman Hsu’s, Vinod Gupta’s.. and what not. If Barry continues to play defense he may as well quit now.

[hometoroost]

That’s fair enough, now then Mark, when is it time for HillBilly to come clean? Those two have done far worse.

[mrmargaritaville]

I’d like to know ALL of the politicians who have received money from him-has Durbin? has Daly?

[saganite]

This is so transparent and sleazy on the part of the media. Clinton has so much baggage she needs a train to move it around and the media completely ignores it.

[ken21]

if there were a democrap president,

which one would you prefer?

[libh8er]

Hahaha !!

Absolutely. Compared to the continuing criminal enterprise of BillHillClinton, this story is total BS.

It just goes to show how much the media is in the Clinton's pocket. Which makes them so, so dangerous.

I think the author needs to check Drudge as of a couple of minutes ago. Hillary might have a new headache.

[Scarchin]

Ba-zing!

[an amused spectator]

LOL!

Mark Brown goes on the "I Love Hillary!" jernalist list. Wouldn't you love to see a "hard-hitting" piece like this on Her Fraudness?

Alas, they're too busy licking Her stilettos...

[an amused spectator]

I'm going to coin a new phrase to describe pro-Clinton "journalists":

A sHillary.

[GOPRaleigh]

I think it’s time for Hillary to confess as well!

See Drudge Report...

[Libloather]

Fox News is covering it now...

[OCCASparky]

Penny-ante crap compared to selling the Lincoln Bedroom, Norman Hsu, and Peter Paul.

[OCCASparky]

I still haven't seen anything so far that should disqualify Obama from being president

And if that doesn't tell you the media has a liberal bias, nothing will. There are so many red flags which should eliminate Obama from serious presidential contention it's not even funny.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Boomerang for Hillary and Bill Clinton in raising the issue of Barak Obama’s relationship with Tony Rezko. It’ll be a challenge to figure out which of them - Barak, Hillary, or Tony - is the most dishonest in this evolving story.

It's way past time for Obama to come completely and entirely clean about his Rezko dealings (preferably, of course, in an interview with this newspaper.

In other words, we've been so good to Obama, hyping him even before the primaries, that he ought to throw us a bone and give us an exclusive. The hypocrisy of this paper calling out Obama (correctly) yet willfully blind of their own quid pro quo.

I thought Osama was clean. Joe Biden said so.
