Certainly he has some ties to sketchy people (though this is true of many people in politics), but I've seen no evidence that he's actually corrupt in a way that even approaches many Illinois politicians such as Blagojevich.
Wow. I just saw him on TV and he looks young. Is he even old enough to be governor....lol. He is going to have a very rough time in jail.
I think most states only require the governor to be 25 years old. I don’t know how old this scum is.
Not corrupt? He made the 10 most corrupt politicians for 2007!
“Senator Barack Obama (D-IL): A “Dishonorable Mention” last year, Senator Obama moves onto the “ten most wanted” list in 2007. In 2006, it was discovered that Obama was involved in a suspicious real estate deal with an indicted political fundraiser, Antoin “Tony” Rezko. In 2007, more reports surfaced of deeper and suspicious business and political connections It was reported that just two months after he joined the Senate, Obama purchased $50,000 worth of stock in speculative companies whose major investors were his biggest campaign contributors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that benefited from legislation Obama pushed just two weeks after the senator purchased $5,000 of the company’s shares. Obama was also nabbed conducting campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law.”
You know the media is spinning this big time by telling us that Obama did not like the Governor and was not close to him....lol. How long did it take for them to say something like this.
He either is or is not... I want the TRUTH newb.
LLS
Spin Doctors... hate ‘em
Mike Church is having a heyday with this on Sirius
Busted ittttt
That list is from Judicial Watch and thus has virtually no credibility. Given their inclusion of Larry Craig, it’s apparent that they don’t even know the meaning of the word “corrupt” in the political sense.
Are you saying that sweetheart mortgages and insider trading (all made available due to the individual’s position of power) is not corruption in your mind?
I guess the Grand Jury might agree. Mr. Obama is corrupt!

Fasten your seatbelts and get out the popcorn—this is just the beginning of what we are going to see over the next four years. Obama’s time in office is going to make Clinton look like he was teaching Sunday school lessons to Monica in the Oval Office.
It will be interesting to see how that plays out. So far I haven’t seen much evidence of anything, but Fitzgerald is an ambitious and aggressive prosecutor and if there’s anything there he’s as likely as anyone to find it.

I am sure, we will hear all these crap. Hope, will wake up to this stupid old “Cook Count” politics
Quit insulting third world governments
This is impossible!!
Queen Pelosi promised to rid us of the corruption in politics well over two years ago.

After this he might be vacating on his seat.
