The doctor sold the mansion to Obama for $1.65 million -- $300,000 below the asking price. Rezko's wife paid full price -- $625,000 -- for the adjacent vacant lot. The deals closed in June 2005. Six months later, Obama paid Rezko's wife $104,500 for a strip of her land, so he could have a bigger yard. At the time, it had been widely reported that Tony Rezko was under federal investigation. Questioned later about the timing of the Rezko deal, Obama called it &amp;quot;boneheaded&amp;quot; because people might think the Rezkos had done him a favor.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The days when a politico is bribed by the briber handing him a white envelope filled with hundred dollar bills is long gone. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The politicos are much more subtle. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;If I wanted to bribe you I would not give you a red dime. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I would however employ Elizabeth, or Benjamin. &amp;nbsp; If it was a serious bribe I would engage Larry so that my payout would not be questioned. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This device is 'old hat' and Fed is 'wise' as to this device. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The fed also knows about my buying your product, your car, your house etc. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The latest is the discount game. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; It works as follows: &amp;nbsp; The briber purchases a parcel of land. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The person who is to be bribed purchases n what appears to be an 'arms length' transaction the parcel from the briber. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The bribe can be in the form of a discount in the price - such as occurred in the Obama situation, or in favorable terms. &amp;nbsp; (Ryan prosecution). &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The public official never signs anything - it is his wife, mistress, child, brother in law et al that completes the transaction. &amp;nbsp; Obama used his wife, Ryan used his children. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The investment that rises in value is the method that the Clintons lean toward. &amp;nbsp; Hillary purchases an option, and by a series of manse transactions the value rises from $1000 to $100000.00. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;All that said the attraction of Obama is that he is 'likable.' &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; He comes across as a 'nice person.' &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; His wife is a charmer, and appears to be a 'real person.' &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;He does not come with a history of divorces, he has never lost his law license, never enabled amoral conduct, is not a rich son of a rich father, and he does not wear his religion on his chest as a badge. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;He could fit into our family and most families as one of the 'kids.' &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The big downside is the fact that he is 'approachable' by the criminal elements i.e. our State politicos and their ilk. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;He should be prosecuted for the bribe and sent to jail. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;It will not happen for the same reason that it did not happen to Hillary. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; If it had been you, you would be on your way to jail. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;It is a lead pipe certainty that Obama this time will not get the Democratic nomination. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;He will not get it because of the 'hue' of his skin pure and simple. &amp;nbsp; In a not so subtle manner, Hillary and Edwards' pitch is purely racial. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Yes they have a right to comment on Obama's indiscretion (criminal activity) but you have to be blind and deaf not to recognize the appeal to racism that is being engendered. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Obama in recent weeks have been reacting to the racism but it is sooo like the racism that Larry and Debra Curry encountered at Discover. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Some of my best friends are 'Jewish!' &amp;nbsp; I just have as little to do with them as possible.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Stallone endorses McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/24/605716.aspx#606134</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Jan 2008 22:27:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:606134</guid><dc:creator>Rick, Ws, NC</dc:creator><description>I played a pow and now I'm endorsing one...so hollyweird...and mccain wil still start wars with his hair trigger attitude about things</description></item><item><title>Stallone endorses McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/24/605716.aspx#606161</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Jan 2008 22:34:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:606161</guid><dc:creator>al, in Arkansas</dc:creator><description>McCain......being a POW doens't qualify one for leadership. &amp;nbsp;Seems to me the hardship would skew your sense of judgement a little. &amp;nbsp;Who else served honorably in the Military? &amp;nbsp;Seems like Dr. Ron Paul was a flight surgon in the USAF for about 5 years. &amp;nbsp;There's a leader! &amp;nbsp;Go Ron Paul.
