Comments on: The Rezko Primer http://archpundit.com/blog/2008/01/24/the-rezko-primer/ Illinois, From Misery Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:36:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: ttj http://archpundit.com/blog/2008/01/24/the-rezko-primer/comment-page-1/#comment-19355 ttj Sat, 31 Oct 2009 02:28:08 +0000 http://archpundit.com/blog/2008/03/19/the-rezko-primer/#comment-19355 This "primer" is not convincing at all. It looks more like some kind of patchwork justification for a sweet insider deal. Obama and Rezko clearly coordinated this deal, and to say that Obama didn't do any favors doesn't exempt him from accepting them under the understanding that he might return some in the future. I hope you are happy that your "squeaky clean" candidate won the election. But later, I hope you will use your creative abilities to write a Ph.D thesis on how sleazy Illinois politics REALLY works.

Because that is what an investigator does when they see someone pay a felon above fair value for an asset, they go, "Gee whiz, that sure was silly of him to pay more than fair value. Nothing to see here though, just a bunch of 'dumb things'." Wow, groundbreaking investigative analysis.

No, she was later appointed to a board. Big difference.

Rezko got after the urging of Obama and do you know the Real estate agent got a kushy no show public job ? It took 5 weeks for Obama to respond, and the sellers of the house refuse to talk to press and they referred press to Osamas campaign headquarters. This guy is dirty and will go down, I will be surprised if we don't see Obama in cuffs doing the perk walk, remember where you heard it first... What about the 14 mil.

Obama offered the highest bid for the lot with the property. Rezko paid the asking price for the vacant lot-there was a bid for $25,000 less than Rezko paid. But keep making shit up. If you read the primer you would have noticed these details. Wrong.

He gave them quite a gift. Sounds like quite a benefit to me. One thing that you have left out was the fact that Obama could not afford his house and Retsko paid more
