The amusing part of this whole mess, though, is the similarity between Obama's "president-electancy," and that of Bill Clinton.

Bill Clinton, of course, was quickly burdened by the Whitewater deal. What with the mess in Illinios, and Rezko's ubiquitous presence there, it's becoming likely that Mr. Obama will be similarly tarred by a real estate deal.
