If the MSM doesn't report it, did it ever happen?

A mere hiccup to the MSM.

Just a little tree falling in a big forest as far as the MSM is concerned.

"Obama has collected at least $168,308 from Rezko and his circle. Obama also has taken in an unknown amount of money from people who attended fund-raising events hosted by Rezko since the mid-1990s."

Let's see, have any intrepid (sic) MSM reporters tried to get a handle on how much $$ has been raised for Obambi at all the fundraising events held for him by Rezko through the years??? Do we even need to answer that question?!?

It doesn’t matter. I hope they ignore it, because it is a ticking time bomb. Obama may be supported by the 20-something crowd, but I think Independents do not trust him.

From the audacity of hope to soap on a rope.

Well, the “Chicago S-T” is the MSM.

You just wait until all the Rezko stuff comes out about B. Hussein Obama. This is just going to get more interesting.

My little recap of the McLaughlin Report discussing Rezko from the Sunday thread:...James Warren (Chig Trib) must clear the air...seems so put out by this whole affair. Makes the point that Obama should have known not to get involved with this guy. What about the role of the wives in this deal? John asks if Mee-shell should come forward? Monica says she should. Comparing this to Gerry Ferraro, Eleanor is screeching that there is no evidence of wrongdoing here but Obama’s not taking the punch well. What if Obama has to take the stand and pleads the 5th? Devastating, says Monica, but doesn’t think it will go this far. Eleanor is screeching—(annoying shriek) McCarthyesque!!! John insists that the wives executed the whole deal and that Obama should be asked if he has told the truth...he has not leveled with the American people. John keeps suggesting Obama do a “Gerry Ferraro” news conference and clear the air. The Trib guys insists there is nothing illegal going on here. Pat says it’s suicidal for Barry to hold a presser. Sorry, folks, the shouting is rampant; I’m having trouble reporting correctly.

Obama told the Sun-Times his “best estimate” was that Rezko raised “between $50,000 and $60,000″ during Obama’s political career. --- Exactly what does "best estimate" mean? I thought records needed to be kept and reports filed. Since when does a candidate get to flippantly say money received is just a "best estimate?" Oh, I'm not naive. They're just politicians. And what ever happened to Hillary and Peter Paul? Isn't it about time she gets indicted -- finally? And this has nothing to do with either of the above, but does anyone have a link to Bush's serenading the press club over the weekend?

I’m sorry but I’m just having a hard time getting worked up about this Rezko thing. If I understand this right, he accepted some favors from this sleazy real estate guy and accepted political contributions from him and some of his sleazy friends. Is that it? Why is this even news? He’s running against the Clintons, for petes sake. He’s a piker compared to them.

We have not heard how much Hillary got.

For those that say none, I call bull shit.

No Clinton has ever been around where money is flying without getting their cut/share.

...Ali D. Ata...

Amish? Or should we just ignore the obvious elephant in the room just like we do with Obama's other "contributors"?

It appears the Religion Of Peace community is playing both sides of the Democrat aisle. Hillary has Huma, but she is an equal opportunity grifter with her pockets full of Chinese money as well.

None of this, of course, will ever see the light of day except on a few VRWC web sites. Certainly Honest Johnny McEgo and the hapless GOP will continue to ignore it so they can insist they are running a "clean" campaign and nobody will get mad at them.

Well, I guess we private citizens will just have suck it up and gather some money to buy some ads exposing it all before the election. Oh, wait a minute. That's now illegal 60 days out, thanks to McCain/Feingold. Never mind!
