Time for Obama to come clean

To dismiss Rezko as 'somebody who I knew' just isn't going to cut it

January 24, 2008

BY MARK BROWN Sun-Times Columnist

Barack Obama just keeps bobbling the Tony Rezko hot potato, and if he doesn't get a handle on it soon, his campaign for the presidency is going to be badly burned.

On Wednesday, the Illinois senator fumbled again as he continued to try to minimize his relationship with Rezko while making the rounds of the morning news shows.

"My relationship is he was somebody who I knew and had been a supporter for many years," Obama said on CBS in response to Hillary Clinton's "slumlord" attack from earlier this week. "He was somebody who had supported a wide range of candidates all throughout Illinois. Nobody had an inkling that he was involved in any problems."

...If Obama has nothing to "hide", why the mysterious inconsistencies?

1. He gave a canned answer in the debate and everybody knew he was trying to shut down questions

he went on too long. Now it's a story.

Funny about that.

3. Bill Clinton needs to come clean about Marc Armand Rousso

from the NY Times:


Misgivings Spoil Plans of Start-Up

Three years ago, at a news conference at Tavern on the Green restaurant that featured a free-flowing bar, former President Bill Clinton helped introduce a new Internet search engine, Accoona, which was said to be powered by innovative artificial intelligence technology.

The event in Manhattan was meant to build interest in the company, founded by Marc Armand Rousso, who had promoted penny stocks and sold stamps.

The $80.5 million initial public offering, managed by a little-known underwriter, moved forward despite the long history of Mr. Rousso, who has had several brushes with the law. He pleaded guilty to stock fraud charges in the United States in 1998 and was convicted of stock fraud in France in 1999. He has settled several suits brought by investors who claimed stock losses.

On Monday, Maxim Group, the underwriter, pulled out of the offering, though it did not cite any specific reason for its change of heart. “After completing our due diligence review, we have chosen to disassociate ourselves with the company,” said Edward L. Rose, the firm’s vice chairman and general counsel.

4. BILL IS NOT RUNNING

How many times does this have to be pointed out?

[HeraldSquare212]

5. But the great thing about the Clintons was supposed to be that they are vetted.

But there's plenty of new stuff about Bill out there. You don't think Hillary would get hit with that, too?

[Occam Bandage]

6. Claiming the Clintons are "vetted" is like

spending a day with a bucket and a coffee filter at the seashore, and then claiming "the ocean has been filtered."

[William769]

8. Has BO been vetted like the Clinton's?

[HeraldSquare212]

13. The Clintons have not been fully vetted.

There's plenty more to come from Bill from after his presidency.

[William769]

16. As compared to Obamas vetting?

[Occam Bandage]

14. As a proportion of dirt in the history of the candidate? Probably more so.

[Tellurian]

10. The great thing about the Clintons is they are exposing Obama as a Fraud and a Crook!

Just Like:

[William769]

15. He's doing a good job of that himself.

[aquart]

18. Three years ago? When he was NOT president?

Are you saying Bill was paid to show up at that party, like Paris Hilton? I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Let me know when that is illegal.

[William769]

9. K&R!

[Double T]

12. BO appears to be hiding several things about his past.

Enough of the fabricated sanitized PR crap; let's get down to the damn truth. The Clintons sure have been dissected over the years by the RW-MSM for their alleged past; THEY had NOTHING to hide except a blue dress.

[Occam Bandage]

20. Would that include, in your estimation, a "Muslim" past?

[Double T]

25. You might have read Obama's own book about his early life.........

and interpreted the historical facts differently. I'm certain that if BO becomes the Democratic nominee, the RW-MSM will uncover EVERYTHING about his past. In the meantime, I think we have beat THAT ONE to death, don't you?

[Occam Bandage]

27. I have. He never once claimed he was a Muslim. Do you believe he was ever a Muslim? Yes or no.

[Double T]

29. It appears, according to BO, in his childhood he was raised a muslim both at home and in school.

I have a feeling that the story has been changed for his campaign's purposes. It should NOT matter what his religion was/is then or now. If he is covering up the factual truth, THERE is his problem.

[Occam Bandage]

30. His book said neither. Why are you lying?

19. Billarys BS!! Obama spent 5 hours preparing paper work as was instructed to do so as an employee..->

nice try -> get something real like Hillary's Whitewater dealings which should hit the boards by tomorrow.

[CyberPieHole]

22. Barack Hussein Obama is tied to Rezko, the Syrian Slumlord...

I'm glad the fool B. H. Obama opened the door to this story at the last debate. Senator Clinton kicked him in the teeth with it.

[Occam Bandage]

23. Edging closer...

[dionysus]

24. sad thing is you're not even good at being a troll...

[CyberPieHole]

31. You're the embodiment of one.

[dionysus]

32. poor try n00b, really poor try.

[Alexander]

33. Shut your CyberPieHole.

I'm glad you don't live here. You'd pollute our country.

[Sadie4629]

26. And in return,

Rezko got him a sweetheart deal on a multimillion dollar home.

Please. :eyes:

[donheld]

28. It wouldn't matter to you if he did or not

If he did you'd have find something else to bitch at him about.

[jackson_dem]

34. Does anyone know what happens if Obama is the nominee and is indicted?

Will he have to run from the courtroom or can we replace him? We have to take this into account before picking a candidate.
