How did we get to this point? This is ridiculous. President?? This guy wants to be President of the United States? Our United States?

Hillary at work. The federal bureaucracy is owned by the clintons. It’s a tool that will be put to good use.

It’s my belief that the federal bureaucracy has no interest in sharing its power with a gang of nobama thugs. Nobama and his Marxist mob would move in and destroy the golden taxpayer goose. That would also the destroy the fat bureaucracy. That will not be allowed.

"Rezko also was friendly with Obama — offering him a job when he finished law school, funding his earliest political campaigns and purchasing a lot next to his house."

Please correct my memory if I'm wrong, but didn't he buy the lot from Obama and weren't there issues with the purchase price? If so, the omission of such an important and relevant fact is yet another sign of the typical AP bias.

Obama bought lot from Rezko, was sweetheart deal, below market IIRC

I am also not sure why we don’t hear anything about another dirty land deal.

If Obama remains five points or more ahead in the polls two weeks out, it’s time to start preparing the impeachment articles.

Something I find disturbing about this is that Bambi, as guilty as he is has people around him that frighten me more then he does.

This is Charlie Manson’s prophecy.

Media is doing every thing in their power to get 0 elected.

Same as when Clintons were the ones, never heard anything bad about Donks, same scenario here.

Difference is that most citizens have access to web now, and can see information that contradicts,LSM reports

This story is absolute garbage for one simple reason, the US Attorney’s Office doesn’t talk about investigations, period. I called Pat Fitzgerald’s office yesterday and spoke to a gentleman in the public relations section. I asked him if Fitz had expanded his investigation to cover ACORN, the Obama campaign, Obama himself, members of his campaign staff and the DNC. I was told emphatically, no cracks, no hints, nothing, that the US Attorney’s Office does not comment on investigations, no how no way. I then asked if I could file a Freedom of Information Request, he then told me that FOI law does not apply to Justice Department criminal investigations. That said, where does the AP come off spewing this garbage when they don’t know?

I don’t quite get it: did Rezko give obama land for obama’s house? You mentioned a strip of land for a fence.

[Darkwolf377]

Not me, the article. Go to the link.

The long and the short: Obama wanted the house but didn't want the land he'd have to buy alongside it. Rezko bought the land, so he basically bought something he didn't want so Obama could get a sweet deal--just the house.

I'd say there's a decent chance the Toons had a hand in this.

The Obama gardens scam. Never heard of it before. yet another buried treasure under the MSM rug. The dirt must be so thick under the NYT msm rug, some of the stuff there is probably fossilized.

[mlocher]

There has been no official confirmation that Rezko is talking

This appears to be another "non-story" by the AP. All rumors. No fact.

"Obama vowed to "work tirelessly" to raise $1.1 million to help Smith's organization turn the City of Chicago-owned lot into an oasis of trees and paths. But Obama lost the congressional race, no more money was raised, and today the garden site is a mess of weeds, chunks of concrete and garbage. The only noticeable improvement is a gazebo."

I guess he's moved on to better killing fields..........

[KentuckianaHeadhunter]

[i]Somewhere in an AP newsroom in America a reporter is rockin’ the prayer beads in hopes Obama escapes this unscathed.[/i]

Prayer beads? Don’t you mean fidgeting with power crystals?

Where can We buy these as yard Signs to plaster the Country with in the Next Weeks??

PRICELESS!!!!

You’d have to get them locally produced. The original was on the website of S.C. Senator Kevin Bryant. He caught a lot of crap from the commiecRATs about it.
