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.

No, I don’t apply rules of grammar, spelling, and composition to posts in public forums, nor do I interact with “post Nazis.” Waste of my time. Perhaps your peer review would be more effective on someone else’s posts, cuz honestly I don’t give a damn.

Then why bother responding?

If you just want to blow off steam and spew baseless arguments, maybe DU would be more to your liking. That’s EXACTLY what passes for “intellectual discourse” there.

Palin did say those things! She was an “outsider”, though. Even unsupported by the GOP.

Career politicians now have a glaring weakness: all they have is politics, with nothing to fall back on. Hence, the live or die by following political correctness. Trump is welathy and CAN fall back on his business, and therefore cannot be bullied by political correctness.

Our Founding Fathers envisioned citizen-legislators who would contribute to the succes of the country, then go back to their businesses. We need obviously need Term Limits when Political Correctness runs rough-shod over common sense and fiduciary responsibility.

All I know is that Obama must think Trump is an answer to his prayers. He is distracting the public from all the mistakes Obama is/has been making as president.

You may think Trump is the answer to Barry's prayers. Many are praying he is Barry's worst nightmare.

The "Distractions" occured over three years ago, when the country was sidetracked from investigating the real history of the liar candidate.

Nice try, but you are seriously over-reacting to someone you disagree with. If you expect everyone to provide references to every statement made that isn't prefaced (by your anal standards) with IMHO, how do you navigate this place without your head exploding?

If we were posting in an academic forum, I would probably worry about discovery, evidence, references, etc. But we're not, so I am free to post my very un-humble opinions.

And if my posts bother you so much, don't read them anymore, because I never qualify what I submit.
