At best, it is a gamy story of a presidential hopeful displaying a lack of judgment by getting involved with Rezko in a real estate arrangement in which the Obamas benefited.Read the whole thing.
At worst, it could be a few steps along the Chicago way.
Part of that deal took place in January, as Obama was becoming the Democratic poster boy to highlight Republican corruption, just as all of political Illinois figured Rezko for a federal indictment.....
But Obama felt comfortable lecturing Africans and Republicans about corruption, while privately dancing with Tony Rezko. That's what will hurt him.
He couldn't bring himself to lecture City Hall on the deals there, and he skipped a recent anti-corruption address to the Chicago Better Government Association. Did he miss the BGA dinner because this story was coming down?
Oh, and Obama endorses the ethically challenged party pick Stroger. Eric Zorn "Letter to voters a letdown for Obama idealists".
