Clinton's Rezko Attack Put to Rest

now, if we can just get to clinton stop trying to distract everyone with her "kitchen sink" we can we get back to issues: healthcare, the war in Iraq, foreign policy.....

Two things already are clear in the $7 million federal fraud trial of a fundraiser for some of presidential hopeful Barack Obama's earlier political campaigns.

The fraud, attempted extortion and money laundering charges against businessman Antoin "Tony" Rezko have little if anything to do with Obama. But they have a lot to do with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and allegations of an influence-peddling scheme within his inner circle.

Even so, as a presidential contender, Obama was guaranteed to feel the heat when a longtime friend and supporter went on trial in a political scandal.

Neither Obama nor Blagojevich are accused of wrongdoing in the trial, which began with opening statements Thursday and took a break Friday. But Obama's Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton has raised questions about his long ties to Rezko, and if the Illinois senator wins the nomination Republicans are likely to do the same.

"I think the national and international press have repeatedly done a calculation that says Rezko gave to Obama, Rezko was indicted, hence Obama is implicated, and that's a false calculation," says Cindi Canary, head of the nonpartisan, foundation-funded Illinois Campaign for Political Reform.

Reporters and Rezko, blah, blah, blah

Reporters and Rezko Blah Blah Blah

here's what i'd like to know, if obama really did something underhanded with this tony rezko guy, why haven't the newspapers gotten to the truth of the matter? it seems a whole lot has already been written about it but no one has shown that obama did anything illegal. it seems several months ago, obama answered everyone's questions.

so why do they just keep writing stories, insinuating that obama has done something wrong? to sell more newspapers? to rile people up? they write the same old blather.

it doesn't seem like it would take a whole lot of effort to get to the truth, write it and then that would be the end of the story. but i suppose it's better to not investigate it and continue to use it as daily fodder because that is easiest.
