Don’t you know that you are not allowed to question, criticize or in any way make a negative comment regarding the Obamamessiah? John McCain and the RNC have said so!

You can discuss this but you can’t mention “Hussein” when noting Obama’s name.

I wonder who the lawyer is that bought the garden from Rezko’s wife in 2006?

Mewonders if McAztlan has also met Rezko...just like Hillary has. He was the only R among the 5 Keating Five

The GOP and McSoros are gonna get hammered in November

I guess the lawyer that works for Rezko needs to knock a hole in the fence and put in a double-wide. If it won’t fit, then go with the single-wide and rent it out to some unfortunate American with a lot of hope and in need of some change.

The notion that the remainder of the lot is under Obama’s exclusive control has never been made all that obvious in the Chicago press. My,my,my, that looks a lot more like a bribe to me.

If you are a Democrat in Chicago, it is not a bribe. This is how friends take care of each other .

No sarcasm intended

Barak Noname said this was a bone headed mistake.

Looks like a good deal to me. He gets a full access to the property and only owns 1/6 of the property. Rezko and his buddy then own Congressman Barak Noname. Its a win - win.

Can it be assumed that the seller of the house (to obama) and the seller of the garden plot (to Rezko’s wife) were one in the same? (Would have been much more complex for a different seller of the house to somehow drop the asking price by $300k). If so, then can be nothing less than a $300,000 bribe as an incentive to gain a desired portion of the adjoining lot not to mention other special interest favors to this crook. No doubt that the Obama’s have use of the entire Garden plot. This is a huge scandal for such a junior senator.

You may compliment the Senator from Illinois. Handsome, good legislator, hard worker, inspirational, he would make a good president, Honorable, distinguished Senator, etc...

In fact, to show bipartisanship, McCain is requesting that we have an Obama and McCain bumper sticker on our cars.

Some reporter needs to check whether the vacant lot is still buildable according to the building codes. If it is too small to build a house on, then it is virtually worthless, and a $500,000 bribe was given to and accepted by Obama. Seems simple to me.

More info on Auchi, BHO and Rezko here:
Did Saddam Figure’s Millions Influence Obama? (There’s more to Rezko than just slumlording...)

Auchi “one of Britain’s richest men, has a long history of shady financial dealings as well as numerous connections to Saddam Hussein, who he helped to power. According to the Times, Auchi sent a lot of money to Rezko just before his wife bought property adjacent to the Obamas in a land deal that has already raised a lot of eyebrows”

Since Obama is not a Muslim it sure is strange how much love Muslims are showing him. This is because they still view him as Muslim, the religion he was born into and still is because he was never baptized. Obama learned Koran recitation in Arabic when he was a child

Obama- If you are Christian then prove it!

I read somewhere that it became too small to build on after the Obamas bought the 100 ft strip of it.

Nope. Looks like a straightforward statement of fact to me.

Obama explained why he purchased a piece of the garden - wanted more privacy. What I don’t get is the connection you’re trying to make between the piece that Obama purchased at 104,000 and what the other lawyer purchased at around $500,000.

Rezko is in trouble for his shady dealings. What does that have to do with Obama? If Obama benefited from Rezko’s criminal enterprise, it does not mean he was a party to it. I think the state justice dept. already clarified that issue. I know smeone that was being investigated. They put their house on the market. A friend purchased it. Even though the person may have gained something, it does not mean that the person had any kowledge of or involvement in the friend’s criminal activity.

If you want to make Obama into a criminal then you have to prove that he is engaged in a criminal enterprise. Guilt by association only means something in the court of public opinion.

I must say that I like the Obama residence. The price suggest that it was fair.

So you haven’t been on FR for 4 years, then show up to shill for Obama?

Interesting.

There are any number of reasons why the Rezko thing represents questionable dealings. The way the deal was structured, it looks like the seller got pretty much his full target price, while Obama paid a very lot price for his piece, and someone else pretty well bought his side yard for him, at full price. I expect that adjacent lot is now not buildable. It wouldn’t be in many places.
