Having a hard time keeping track of the facts? Here are eight things to know:

1. They met in 1990. Obama was a student at Harvard Law School and got an unsolicited job offer from Rezko, then a low-income housing developer in Chicago. Obama turned it down.

2. Obama took a job in 1993 with a small Chicago law firm, Davis Miner Barnhill, that represents developers -- primarily not-for-profit groups -- building low-income housing with government funds.

3. One of the firm's not-for-profit clients -- the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Corp., co-founded by Obama's then-boss Allison Davis -- was partners with Rezko's company in a 1995 deal to convert an abandoned nursing home at 61st and Drexel into low-income apartments. Altogether, Obama spent 32 hours on the project, according to the firm. Only five hours of that came after Rezko and WPIC became partners, the firm says. The rest of the future senator's time was helping WPIC strike the deal with Rezko. Rezko's company, Rezmar Corp., also partnered with the firm's clients in four later deals -- none of which involved Obama, according to the firm. In each deal, Rezmar "made the decisions for the joint venture," says William Miceli, an attorney with the firm.

4. In 1995, Obama began campaigning for a seat in the Illinois Senate. Among his earliest supporters: Rezko. Two Rezko companies donated a total of $2,000. Obama was elected in 1996 -- representing a district that included 11 of Rezko's 30 low-income housing projects.

5. Rezko's low-income housing empire began crumbling in 2001, when his company stopped making mortgage payments on the old nursing home that had been converted into apartments. The state foreclosed on the building -- which was in Obama's Illinois Senate district.

6. In 2003, Obama announced he was running for the U.S. Senate, and Rezko -- a member of his campaign finance committee -- held a lavish fund-raiser June 27, 2003, at his Wilmette mansion.

7. A few months after Obama became a U.S. senator, he and Rezko's wife, Rita, bought adjacent pieces of property from a doctor in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood -- a deal that has dogged Obama the last two years. 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 "boneheaded" because people might think the Rezkos had done him a favor.

8. Eight months later -- in October 2006 -- Rezko was indicted on charges he solicited kickbacks from companies seeking state pension business under his friend Gov. Blagojevich. Federal prosecutors maintain that $10,000 from the alleged kickback scheme was donated to Obama's run for the U.S. Senate. Obama has given the money to charity.

1. So according to your timeline

The last time Obama had any relationship with Rezko was 8 months before anybody knew about the indictment. Then Obama cut off ties and returned the money raised, well before he ran for President. What was Obama lying about again? hmmmm.... I can't figure it out because your timeline doesn't contradict anything Obama said.

Keep grinding that ax.

6. Disingenuous. I mean, PLEASE.

An Illinois state senator, a US senator, unaware that his good buddy is a "fixer"? If he is that naive he should be immediately barred from any elective office, let alone the presidency...and maybe he should have someone with him at all times to make sure he comes in out of the rain.

He's in his forties, not his teens. He knew exactly who Rezko was and what he was good for. So did everyone else in Illinois politics.

That said, it doesn't matter even slightly whether or not he knew or had dealings with Rezko while knowing he was being investigated. That's the straw man. The bright red herring.

What you cannot get around is that Obama paid $300,000 less for a house while Rezko's wife bought the adjoining lot for $382,000 more than the land was worth. On the same day. To the same seller. That's the stinking smelly fish in the moonlight. It doesn't matter if Rezko was being investigated when this happened. It doesn't matter if Obama knew about an investigation. The only thing that matters is $300,000 less, and $382,000 more.

But nobody can prove a quid pro quo so Obama is off the hook. NOT GONNA BE INDICTED. Which is all you care about.

He doesn't bring change. He brings business as usual and a perfectly good ability to look you in the eye and lie. Sincerely.

8. "he is in his forties, not in his teens" ... sounds so darn familiar .... for a moment anyone could

think you are talking about bush , but then bush is in his sixties, though often he sounds more like someone in his teens.

5. Obama seems to be lacking in the accountability department. Good that Hillary

nailed him on his "untruthiness" during the debate.
