Another Body Blow… Trump Goes After Obama’s Close Ties to Crook Rezko
Gateway Pundit ^ | 4/12/11

Posted on 04/11/2011 10:38:53 PM PDT by My Favorite Headache

The RNC released this web video titled “Lapse in Judgement” back in 2008.

http://youtu.be/Aj4_rtyfFu8

The ad revealed Barack Obama’s dealings with convicted felon and close friend Tony Rezko.

This great ad described Obama’s relationship with the Chicago crook. Unfortunately, the left-wing media didn’t do its job and protected Obama from any honest attacks during the 2008 campaign.

Today Donald Trump went after Obama’s close ties to convicted criminal Tony Rezko. IB Times reported:

President Obama “never did a deal in his life except with Tony Rezko,” said Donald Trump on Fox News.

“People should look into that one,” he added.

Trump once again went on the offensive against Obama. His previous point of attack was doubts over Obama’s birthplace. Now, it’s the latter’s long history with Tony Rezko, who Hillary Clinton in 2008 called a “slum landlord.”

Rezko is am Illinoisan political fundraiser who was convicted for fraud and bribery in 2008. He was accused of using his political position to extort money from businesses seeking contracts from the Illinois Teachers System Board and the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board.

Back in the 1990s (before Rezko’s offenses took place), two companies owned by Rezko gave the first ever contributions to Obama’s Illinois Senate campaign. In the 2000s, he served on Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign finance committee.

In 2005, Rezko’s wife bought a lot adjacent to a house Obama purchased for $625,000 and subsequently sold a part of it to Obama. The deal generated much controversy back in Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Reverend Jeremiah G-D America Wright… You’re on standby.

I wish Trump would bring up the doctored photo with Obama surrounded by his white grandparents.

This more than anything shows why the long form needs to be released.

Donald Trump is the bull in the Political Correctness China Shop. He’s telling the Emperor he has no “clothes” when everyone else has been ignoring it, turning their heads the other way, and cowering on the sidelines. I hope he keeps it up.

Palin/Trump would be an interesting ticket.

How could it possibly be any worse than what we have? And it sure beats a Romney/Barbour/Gingrich/BobDolePartDeux/anyoldgeezer ticket.

She would have to be #2 again.

Trump would never be anyone’s #2.

On the other hand, I’m curious who he’d pick himself...would give insight into how he thinks.

Especially, if the President was named Hillary...

By the way, Tony Rezko is a Muzzie.

So, was Barry's Rezko deal compliant with the principles of Shari'a finance??

I think not.

Not at all. It’s not in his blood. It’s not who he is.

I wonder what set Mr Trump off?

That's a good question, and an interesting one. I would love to know the answer. Some are speculating upthread that it's because he sees his own considerable wealth being threatened by the Obama agenda. I'm not sure that explains it, as he's a smart enough business man to have seen that coming before zerO was elected in '08. Then, as you speculated, Limbaugh has confirmed that he and The Donald are friends. Yet, that seems to have been the case for more than a little while, so nothing new there. I hope we find out someday, because it is curious.

LOL! The only thing I’d add to the cartoon, in honor of the subject of this thread, is to show a weird bright orange hairdo on the back of the head of the guy asking the question.

The Rats’ plans were perfect. Pick a “clan articulate black man” who was as far left as they come and the GOP would be to cowardly to call him out for fear of being called racists.

That’s the problem. The people like Rove, Huckabee and others are steering the republican party away from the tea party influences. Damn them for keeping Rinos in charge. But we should be careful not to follow the Pied piper.

How many threads have you posted this to?

All of them I find.

FReeper encouragement is running about 15:1 in favor of my postings which are reminders of the NATURAL BORN CITIZEN requirement.

You ask ..why is that?

Have no idea what you are asking me?

I said I am glad Trump is doing what he is doing. I also said to someone on this thread that Sarah Palin had mentioned all these guys, Wright, paling around with terrorists etc.

I did not just fall off a turnip truck either. It is VERY OBVIOUS that Trump has no real connection to the Christian/Social Conservative lifestyle...Yes I pray that he does, but it`s clear he is just pandering, he hasn`t a clue in that regard.

That`s basically the jist of what I said on this thread. I also said wait until he loses the primary, and see what he then has to say about Tea Party/Social Conservatives.

Just today Trump said he would consider running as a independent should he lose the Republican nod IF HE RUNS.

Who would that hurt /help if he did that?
