Rezko cash triple what Obama says

[ccpup]

During his 12 years in politics, Sen. Barack Obama has received nearly three times more campaign cash from indicted businessman Tony Rezko and his associates than he has publicly acknowledged, the Chicago Sun-Times has found.

Obama has collected at least $168,308 from Rezko and his circle. Obama also has taken in an unknown amount of money from people who attended fund-raising events hosted by Rezko since the mid-1990s.

But seven months ago, Obama told the Sun-Times his "best estimate" was that Rezko raised "between $50,000 and $60,000" during Obama's political career.

and not one mention of Carol Mosely-Braun in the whole article. It's all Barack's mess.

1. This isn't good for Obama.

The closer the trial gets, the more articles are printed. Not good for Obama.

3. and the articles are in those Super Tuesday States

Barack is trailing in and absolutely needs in order to be competitive for the necessary delegates. If you live in CA and see his smiling face on TV promising this and that and then hear the water cooler chat about his dealings with a hood in Chicago who's under Federal Indictment, he's just lost a vote.

Barack's first mistake, in my opinion, was trying to sell himself as a "new politician" who was running on "Hope and Change". That assertion, with his easily discovered by Googling history in Chicago, was painfully simple to knock down and, unfortunately for those people who bought into the Obama Myth, intensely disappointing. How angry must people be when they realize Barack, in essence, lied to them and fooled them? And will they be able to not hear what he says in the future without suspicion?

Hillary never sold herself as someone wearing a halo. Barack did and that was a foolish mistake to make. Or, as he would say himself, a "boneheaded decision".

2. An Ex-Republican Operative Talked about This Tactic as Well

he mentioned that a comapny, etc will donate money to one candidate and then donate anonymously to another so that when a candidate points it out, he/she puts themselves in the same mess.
