Letter addressed to convicted influence peddler has president's name on envelope
President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Chicago Way
Dear President Obama: Get the Chicago Tribune delivered to your home for only $1 a week >>
It's been such a long time since we talked, and I know you're extremely busy taking command at work, but I hope this letter finds you well.
Chicago hasn't changed much. More Americans are shot in Chicago than in Iraq. The politicians keep getting rich. And you know about Rod Blagojevich's corruption trial.
What's up with that subpoena thing anyway? What was Rod thinking?
The mayor still runs things, but with all you folks in Washington, he gets lonely. He doesn't have anybody to talk to. Maybe you and Michelle should visit and give him some laughs, take him to Spiaggia for the gnocchi with the wild boar ragu.
But I'm not writing about boar ragu. It's something else.
It's a letter with your name on it in big capital letters, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.
It's postmarked June 16, 2010, and was mailed from Richmond, Va., with a 44-cent stamp. And, it's printed in soy ink on recycled paper, so it's eco-friendly.
But the fascinating part is whom the letter from PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA is addressed to:
Tony Rezko.
Yes, that Tony Rezko.
I'm not joking. This is a real letter.
Remember Tony? The "That's not the Tony Rezko I knew" Tony? Your personal real estate fairy who helped you buy that dream house in Kenwood? The Tony of your "boneheaded" move? Yeah, that guy.
Your letter was sent to one of Rezko's old business addresses in Chicago, and I got to take a look at it. I promised not to reveal the address if we could take a picture of it.

Obama to Rezko: you’re doing good Tony. I have a nice pardon waiting for you...just don’t go Prima donna on me.
Dear President Obama: Get the Chicago Tribune delivered to your home for only $1 a weekTony Rezko is spamming the White House?
Good ole John Kass cuts to the Rezko/Obama Godfather fix ...
Didn’t Web Hubble get ‘sick’ in jail/prison?
A copy paste mistake.
They both that ‘look’, don’t they?
Many of the comments at the article say it’s a form letter from the dnc. I have no clue, but zero sending a letter to rezko’s old address sounds unlikely to me.
No, that was Jim MacDougal. Webb got out alive.
From the November 7, 2008 transcript:
Blago: “Now, you know I’m under, you know, what I believe is disgusting federal investigations, with them out to get me and I, I’ve been nothin’ but fuckin’ tryin’ to be very honest in my administration. You know made some misjudgements, but compared to even Obama, you know, I believe I’m more pristine on Rezko than him.”
Obama better have sent a message to his man, Tony, else he may go straight from the White House to the Big House.
There are more Americans to shoot in Chicago than in Iraq.
the “ get the Trib for $1.00 is just an ad inserted into the middle of the column
not that the Trib is hurting or anything
it probably is a form letter but why a stamp?
wouldn’t they use bulk mail?
Of course even 0dumbo isn’t stupid enough to send a letter , is he?
Several of the comments mentioned receiving the same letter. Heck,,, for some reason, I got one from Willy Clinton last week. I figure one of my lib musician buddies signed me up as a joke. Tweaking my nose, as it were,,,,,
-Thank You-
The idea he sends letters is absurd.
