Complaint hits Rezko land deal

Washington Times - Complaint hits Rezko land deal

A former Illinois bank official, now claiming whistleblower status, says bank officials replaced a loan reappraisal that he prepared for a Chicago property that was purchased by the wife of now-convicted felon Tony Rezko, part of which was later sold to next-door neighbor Barack Obama.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move on. This "just a guy" in Obama's neighborhood. Probably never even spoke to him.

Never mind the fact that he purchased a piece of property that Obama couldn't afford and then sold him the usable portion of it for way less than market value.

Never mind the fact that he raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Obama.

Never mind that Rezko has been convicted of soliciting kickbacks from companies wanting to do business with the State of Illinois (remind me, who was a state senator there?).

Never mind all of that. We've got a picture of President Bush and you can actually see Jack Abramoff in the background - he's the real criminal, your honor...

If America manages to elect this character (or lack thereof), the people that voted for him will get exactly what they deserve. The rest of us will just have to suffer along with them.
