Letter addressed to convicted influence peddler has president's name on envelope

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.
