Obama Should Come Clean On Ayers, Rezko And the Iraqi Billionaire

Obama Should Come Clean On Ayers, Rezko And the Iraqi Billionaire - WSJ.com

Even as Barack Obama gave his soaring speech Thursday night, his campaign was playing hardball with its critics.

Team Obama has launched an offensive against WGN, the Chicago Tribune's radio station, for interviewing Stanley Kurtz. Mr. Kurtz is a conservative writer who this week forced the University of Illinois to finally open its records on Sen.

These stories will not go away until Obama is completely honest about them. I don't think Obama is a terrorist. Nor do I think he approves of Mr. Ayers' actions. But until he stops lying about how much they worked with each other - it will not go away.

It's sort of like the John Edwards story. He John had come clean and admitted to everything, he would have been left alone like yesterday's news. But now the tabloids still have information on him and he won't come clean.

Tony Rezko and Nadhmi Auchi are different stories. There is only a wisp of smoke right now but there is definitely fire here.
