While he has released 94 pages of documents relating to the Rezko sale, they don't include the single most important one -- the settlement statement that shows the complete flow of funds that were part of the house sale. When asked why that last key document isn't being released, the Obama campaign issued a boilerplate statement saying, "we have released documents that reflect every one of the final terms of the senator's purchase of the home." But key data are still being withheld.The Obama campaign didn't hesitate to criticize Hillary Clinton for not revealing the names of donors to the Clinton Library, or John McCain for releasing only two years of tax returns as opposed to Mr. Obama's 10 years. Those were proper questions. But so too are requests for information from Mr. Obama, a man whose sudden rise and incompletely reported past makes him among the least-vetted of presidential nominees.
And Clarice Feldman elaborates on the damning details Stanley Kurtz has found so far in the Obama-Ayers Annenberg Challenge Documents. Grants were dispensed for multi-culti programs, but math and science proposals were turned down, which was and is the most pressing need in Chicago's struggling schools. One of the rejected grants was to assist Hispanic kids. Can you explain that Barack? Or will you continue to evade legitimate questions, assisted by a complicit press.
UPDATE: Chicago Sun Times columnist Steve Huntley:Democrats jumped on McCain's gaffe in not knowing how many houses he and his wife own. Don't be surprised if the GOP convention takes swipes at Obama's housing issues -- and not just the expensive property he put together with the help of convicted influence peddler and one-time contributor Tony Rezko. Republicans may point to Rezko's four foreclosed low-income housing buildings in the district Obama represented in the Illinois Legislature and ask how that happened under his nose without his being aware of it.
