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

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.
as long as you have a pair of balls you make the GOP look like fools (the only one’s with a pair in the GOP are the gals and Trump)
I don’t think the dem hit squad had The Donald on their radar. When they begin their counterattack, which they will, it will be a game of catch up and seen for what it is.

This article is a year old but asks some good questions.
According to wiki Rezko was raised in Syria as a Catholic.
Does anyone know where Rezko is? I think I remember hearing that he was not in the jail that he was supposed to be in and no one knew where he was. Never heard any more about it.

Many of the GOP folks have more money then Trump. They don’t have his backbone though.
“he is too damn ignorant to have gone to Columbia and HArvard wthout generous help.”
I’ve worked with folks from those places. The majority of their students get in because of money or connections, not because of smarts.
Now why would you say he’s “making fools of the whole GOP”? Since when are facts “foolish”? I just don’t get people like you.
That’s not a hard task to accomplish.
He has contributed to both parties and political candidates on both sides... and many have benefited from his support. I hope he just continues his investigations and "outting" of the dark truths about Obama. He can serve the GOP and our country best this way. Maybe that is his plan? I think he is doing the most patriotic job anyone can do by bringing Obama's past to light before any GOP candidate actively starts down the road of a campaign against the imposter in the WH.
Trump does have one thing that he hides and will not admit to. That hairpiece on top of his head. That rug is a fake!! C’mon Trump, you have to come clean yourself before you demand it of Obama. Admit that thing on top of your head is a rug!!! LOL!!!
I’m a tiny businessman compared to Trump but we deal with millionaires all the time. The true American businessmen & women recognize that this country is about to financially collapse from all of our debt and unfunded entitlements. I won’t get hurt too bad but people like Trump, they will big time, and he’s pissed. People like Buffett tried their best to lick O’s back side and hope to sway that absolute ignorant punk. But! he still keeps driving his socialist dream off a cliff. Trump may not be a Thomas Paine but he is what is needed at this time and let us all pray that this countries people wakes up. We need Bill Gates and many other billionaires to get out of their compfort zones and at the very least do what’s best for their employees. Stop Socialism and remember the low taxes and freedom that put them where they are today. We have a government spending problem, not a a revenue problem. And while I’m ranting!!!! Get rid of the IRS NOW.

I agree - big folks like Trump will be hurt badly. He knows it and he’s attempting to wake this country up while we still have a country!
I say GO DONALD! I don’t care if he wants to run for President or if he just wants to help bring out all the stuff that the MSM should have been bringing out about Dumbo all along. Either or both work for me and we know there are people in this country that will not listen to this from Palin or Beck or Hannity or Limbaugh so maybe Trump can shove some knowledge down their throats. Or at least open their eyes so they check some things out.
I don’t know as much about this deal as some...how is this different than simply getting a good deal on real estate?
Trump provides the blueprint for how conservatives should oppose Liberalism in general: No caveats, no outlandish statements (stick to the facts, do not speculate too much), no whimpering, straight talk about the facts.
The strength of Liberalism (the non-Christian secular doctrine of universal human equality) is that it is ubiquitous, in that it dominates the thinking of all elite institutions. In practice, liberalism is enforced by media control and public shaming of dissidents (I.e. “PC”).
The weakness of Liberalism is that it is built on lies on every front and that it lacks any internally consistent moral doctrine.
Hence, if you oppose it steadfastly, without apology, it crumbles. Brave men like Trump or Terry Jones show us the only way towards defeating Liberalism and breaking through PC: Speaking the truth, calmly, in a reasoned fashion and without regret.
I would never vote for him for president...and hope it never
becomes a serious issue...but I do appreciate all this useful information
that he’s digging up.
How is it that it has taken Donald Trump and three years for anyone in the national GOP to raise any of these questions? It’s getting more difficult to believe that the GOP actually opposes what Obama is doing.
The so-called “budget showdown” of the last week lacked any semblance of substance. Pretending to stand for a measly 2% reduction in spending that increased $700 billion from that of the former President (who also spent way too much), and then backing down, was as meaningless as it was futile.
The Republicans’ actions over the last three years (including the 2008 campaign, during which John McCain acted as if he was in mortal fear of his opponent Obama) appear to be those not of a loyal opposition, but of a collaborator. The Vichy Republicans, if you will.
