From Politico.com:

'...Washington libs lead backlash against Bill

By: John F. Harris
Jan 28, 2008 07:06 PM EST...'

'...Kennedy has been supportive of both Clintons in the past. But, according to advisers who have spoken with him, Kennedy was motivated to publicly bless Obama in part because he was offended by what he regarded as Clinton’s divisive and distorted arguments against his wife’s chief rival.

Bill Clinton, in other words, botched a big one — at a moment when Hillary Clinton can afford it least...'

OK, Rezko buys the lot for $635K, sells a piece of it to Obama for $105K, then sells it to a second buyer at a $58K profit and now this smaller piece of land is up for sale for $300K more than Rezko originally paid for it? Please tell me how this was a sweetheart deal for Obama? Rezko made money on the deal and this new guy is going to do the same.

Obama bought his house for 300K under market value in the simultaneous transaction where Rezko's wife bought teh adjacent land. Which sounds like something other 5 hours of work for Rezko's cub scout group

Eric, Staten Island, NY — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:00:34 GMT

While there was nothing illegal about the land deal Obama himself said it was "bonehead". But the issue here is Obama states that he did not know about Rezko's legal problems before the land deal and before Rezko was named to his US Senate finance committee but since the investigation was publicly known and in the press how could this be?

CG, NYC — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:00:42 GMT

Let's have an investigative piece on how Bill Clinton is getting paid millions from a public company for seemingly no work (not to mention flown around world in a jet owned by a publicly traded company)? Or how about how Bill Cinton made $20m from Ron Burkle-- with or without an investment? Or what sort of expenses Norman Hsu underwrote in addition to the hundreds of thousands he donated to HRC? Or how about the tens of millions given to the Clinton Library and foundation by convicted felons and foreign despots? Or how about the poverty level dishwashers and cooks strong armed by the Chinese mob into giving HRC hundreds of thousands of dollars?

I guess it's easier to focus when you only have ONE story to write about a candidate.

That Rezko land deal

Nashville_fan — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:00:49 GMT

What an intereresting piece. Thing is, it didn't tell me anything that hasn't already been reported about this situation.

Senator Obama wanted the house. He couldn't afford the lot. His friend, Rezcko, the real estate developer purchased the lot and sold him a small piece of it.

What's the problem again?

P.S. People buy houses for below market value all of the time. It's called negotiating a good deal.

P.S.S. If every deal that every politician did with someone who was later proved to be a crook made the news, that's all we'd ever hear about. Haven't "the Clintons" actually gone so far as to pardon some of the friends who were crooks? Wonder why we never hear about that . . .

Billy, Normal, IL — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:01:36 GMT

If only Barack had thought of taking some sweet speaking engagements overseas for big bucks or being a representative for Arab interests, he might have been able to afford the house and the lot with no difficulty at all. Isn't that how Billary managed to finance a multi-million-dollar NY mansion?

Let's have that much more interesting story about the Clinton's quest for a suitable place of residence in NY. This one is much ado about nothing. In fact, that empty lot next to the Obama abode might be a great deal for something that will eventually be a historical monument next door.

That Rezko land deal

David, NY — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:03:57 GMT

No doubt about it..this is a sweetheart deal. It is clear that that the land was purchased to subsidize obama's purchase next door--easily seen by how the deal was structures--lower the house cost whle increasing the cost of the land paid by rexko thereby passing a cost savings to Obama. But if that wasn't enough--Rezko later sells a portion of the lot next door to Obama--This stinks Obama is a crook and its about time that the biased media starts to be objectective in their reporting. The current price f the lot smaller lot is not relevant. And keep in mind that Rezko was under inditement when this occurred.. Hillary is correct whenever Obama is call on errors or crimes he basically tries to say he made a mistake... I push the wrong button etc he is not fit to be president. he is a crook.

Earth to Senator Obama haters. The Chicago Press has researched this more than ANY political story in Chicago politics. They have done ALL the work and the one thing that comes out of their research and investigative work is:

Senator Obama did NOTHING wrong.

Get it. So this is a recycled story for the benefit of Bill Clinton and his wife because they were whinning about the non-coverage of this very covered story.

Senator Obama said he made a mistake, he has apologized for this numerous times.

This is the only bullet in the Clinton's chamber, they used it and it didn't hit their target. Now, I'm sure they will start making up stories but the public knows them and won't listen because they are like the boy that cried wolf.

MSNBC, I'm ashamed that you are crying the water for the Clintons. STOP IT! We want a change, the Clintons had their chance. We need to move on in our Country, not go back to the 90's.

Chicago Tribune's endorsement of Obama included 3 paragraphs that urged Obama to come clean about his transactions with Rezco. The Tribune is owned by the Dailey's but some of their reporters do have a conscience, and there is all kinds of information coming out about Obama's ties with Rezco over the past 20 years. Rezco is also a member of the Nation of Islam and he is from Syria.
Obama's Black "racist" church supports Louis Farrakhon
who is also a member of the Nation of Islam.
How many ties to the Nation of Islam can Obama have before you people, you Americans should start to wonder about this guy? Remember the lives of your families are at stake here if you vote to put him in as president. He will not win even if he should get the nomination. Though I am a Democrat, at least the Republicans will not let him get away with being who he really is, they will tear him apart and just because he is a whining assed black it will not matter to the Republicans. Democrats are beginning to make me sick and so is MSNBC and NBC.

Frankly, this is nothing compared to all the dirty dealings of the Clintons, Huckabee, Guliani, Edward, Romney, and McCain.

Hmmmm, weren't "the Clintons" basically "under indictment" for 8 years? And yet somehow, they continued living and working in the White house - go figure. I wonder how many tax payer dollars went into all those investigations. . .

P.S. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? I didn't know that being under indictment was the same as a guilty verdict. I seem to remember a certain Duke Lacrosse team where the lesson was that there is a reason that we have the trials first . . .

The Rezko-Obama deal is a "sweetheart" deal because it cost Obama 75% less than it was actually worth. Obama supporters can not stand there with a straight face and say he was a master negotiator and was able to talk Rezko down.
How hypocritical and pathetic. All this nurturing these Obama supporters need should have come from their dysfunctional families, not a figure-head. Obama is a junior senator, with no experience, who is being set-up for failure. When he makes a mistake he will be given the benefit of the doubt - by his supporters and the media, just like now. We do not need this type of double-standard in the White House. Just because there was a double-standard for Bush, does not mean there should be one for Obama. With Hillary Clinton, she can be held to a higher standard, and will also meet these higher standards. Once the damage that Bush/Cheney have done has been corrected, you can have your "experienced" senator Obama bring the masses together. I say to you Obama supporters - lay off of the anti-depressants, and seek help for your lack of nurturing issues.
Hillary for President! Ready to do the job now!
Have courage, "Obama Central" and post this.

I don't buy any of these lies and it's just an attempt by sore Hillary supporters to bring him down. People in glass houses shouldn't be throwing boulders!

If anyone is to bring up 1/100th of the dirt on HRC, well it's the shameful media support of Obama or it's the radical this or radical that. BS. Yo, America, it ALL happened. It's still happening.

He has admitted his mistake publicly and called it "Bone Headed Mistake". After 25 years in public service, his character was not an object of investigation

What else can you guys dig up aside from his Kindergarten essay?

As far as Hillary Clinton is concern, Norman Tsu, Billary connection with Abu Dhabi, Peter Paul fraudulent hit job, and Chinese connection, has not been fully investigated. What about Bill Clinton post president affairs – I mean his sexual escapades? Has that been fully investigated? If I were you guys, I’d rather shot up than yapping like a little dog. What about Hillary Clinton connection to Black Water? Did you guys look at that?

I will worry if Obama pardons him. Oh forgive me it was the Clinton's who pardoned those convicted in their many scandals. And those investigated who refused to testify. And those that donated lots of money to their Library....and those that could help their political life....Yet the Clinton's executed a man who was a vegetable while in Arkansas so they could prove they were tough on crime. Give me a break.....The Clinton's do not know how to lift up anyone much less a Nation. They prefer to drag people down into the muck with them.

I am sick of everyone saying that the media is too easy on Barrack Obama and too tough on Hillary Clinton. I am wondering when they are going to remind the average voter of all the problems the Clinton’s bring with them to the race for the White House. Lets examine some of the facts that the media is ignoring but we can be sure that the Republican’s wont.

Fact: Hillary Clinton DID stand by her man while he publicly humiliated her and made the late night comics slate of jokes.
Fact: Hillary Clinton’s experience is that she married a successful man.
Fact: The records from Hillary Clinton’s “experience” in the White House have been sealed by the Clinton’s.
Fact: Hillary Clinton takes credit for the positive things that happened during her husbands presidency but wants to disown any of the negative.
Fact: Barrack Obama has held elected office longer than Hillary Clinton.
Fact: Hillary Clinton not only defends her cheating spouse (who cares how they want to run their marriage) but also demonizes the women victimized by him.
Fact: The vast right wing conspiracy that Hillary Clinton believes is the only problem really does exist and is salivating at the thought of dragging the Democrats through the mud once again.
Fact: Even Clintonites got sick of defending them and are too tired for another administration.
Fact: Nothing will bring the Republicans and even Independents together like the chance to defeat Hillary Clinton and they will also be voting for House and Senate Representatives at the same time.

Rezko is now in Jail without BAIL cause they fear him as a FLIGHT. Risk. Thank goodness for that. I would like a Biography on Rezko like we did on Abrams. It is about time the press does its work and puts a stop to their vane panderings and racist attitudes. The only place you can get honest reporting now days is on the net from different Countries. and C-Span They should be going through Rezko with a fine tooth comb. But what are they doing instead. Taking pictures of hand shakes. MSNBC is becoming as discusting as FOX. Anything for Ratings. My worst person of the World is people like Chris Mathews, Joe, and Keith who point rediculious fingers at nonsense. Lets have some pointed reporting you talking nonsense heads.

my condolances to you barrack supporters,because if you really believe he is being unfairly attacked now, your world will crumble when the republicans swift boat him in a national election, he needs to show me he can fight back, ted kennedy has some big skirts to hide behind, but they are a bit soiled and he carries his own baggage and when has a far left liberal been elected to the presidency? that endorsement was a negative for me. Like alot of americans, i want change, but that change has nothing to do with race or gender, i think americans talking about change mean getting rid of a irresponsible republican administration. We americans failed twice to accomplish that,if john kerry had been politically savvy and slammed them back immediately he might have stood a chance. Politics is not cum by yah, the republicans will eat him alive and yet again we americans will lose, no matter who wins obama,clinton or edwards, we WIN. No more annointed candidates, if you want to be the democratic nomination, QUIT WHINING.

Fred Dobbs - you rock! I totally agree with you. Teddy Kennedy is one faithful friend (Remember dumping wife joan after he sent her into an alcoholic spin? Remember the poor young gal he left in the water? Teddy Kennedy is one worthless individual and he supports Obama! Birds of a feather... Interesting that Obama never does anything wrong - votes present - because he lacks the guts to stand up for his decisions - fails to vote in the senate on hard decisions (doesn't show up), is against the war and then votes to support it - WAKE UP - Adults take responsibility for their actions, make the hard choices and do the actual work to get things done. I think Obama is an empty suit that has promised hope the lots of people that - at their age - should know you can hope your butt off for better things but unless you work really hard it doesn't happen. God help us if Obama does get elected - we need firm ideas and immediate action plans to reverse the past 8 years. Its Hillary in 08 or whatever republican runs against Obama.

So there was nothing criminal about it? Nothing even remotely morally wrong? The only problem was talking to this guy?

What a stupid news cycle.
