Obama lying again and again - Rezko

[Clinton Crusader]

Barack Obama also maintained during the interview that is the subject of the Chicago Tribune article I cite that he never intervened on behalf of Rezko's tenement empire.

Asked if he had intervened on behalf of Rezko or Rezmar with any
government entity, Obama replied, "Never. No."

"Never<,> no:" his answer could not be more unequivocal. And yet, he did
serve as an advocate for Rezko when he penned letters on his Illinois state Senate letterhead for New Kenwood, LLC, an enterprise Rezko jointly owned with Obama's former boss Allison Davis.

Obama still answers for old ties to Rezko"

(excerpt)

<< Obama said in the interview Monday that he was unaware of
the scope of properties owned by Rezmar or the problems
surrounding them. He said none of the affected residents
personally sought his help and that aides at his state Senate
district office did not recall any inquiries. Still, he said it was
"possible" that during his tenure in the legislature that a
constituent may have written or called his office "saying, 'We're in
a building, and we're unhappy with the service here.'"

Such problems, he said, would normally be brought to the
attention of an alderman or the city's Housing Department. "Had I
known that there were buildings that were in deteriorating or poor
condition, that certainly would have given me pause. But I didn't"
know, Obama said.>>

"Obama's letters for Rezko"

REZKO's SUCCESSFUL bid to get MORE THAN $14 million FROM
TAXPAYERS to build apartments for senior citizens. The deal
included $855,000 in development FEES FOR REZKO and his

1. I know the issue with Rezko keeps growing and growing

I wonder why it's a non-issue in the MSM?

3. MSM loves Obama

He can do no wrong according to KO and others. I have noticed too that Whitewater has been mentioned less frequently these past few weeks. Before this Rezko thing went to trial it was mentioned constantly.

2. If he wrote letters helping Rezko get this contract, one would imagine

his bringing it up in the course of conversation with Tony, "Hey, how are those Senior housing units coming along?" "Fine, where should we lunch today?"

How could anyone in office not want to know how one of their recommendations turned out? It would be important since Rezko would be going for other state contracts. Common sense? A couple of pop-ins to make sure a good job was done, hello?

"Such problems, he said, would normally be brought to the
attention of an alderman or the city's Housing Department. "Had I
known that there were buildings that were in deteriorating or poor
condition, that certainly would have given me pause. But I didn't"
know, Obama said."

Ignorance is bliss.
