ABC: How much did fixer raise for Obama? (DAMNING Rezko article)
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4192358&page=1

Other news organizations have reviewed Obama's campaign finance records and have also found Rezko-linked contributions that are more than double what the campaign has publicly acknowledged. The Chicago Sun-Times, which published its review last June, found that "Obama has collected at least $168,308 from Rezko and his circle," and earlier this week the Los Angeles Times reported that it had found that Rezko and his associates had given "Obama more than $200,000 in donations since 1995."

was elected Senator.

5. Obama knows it has been looked at thurougly before
by other news organizations. If there was anything earth shattering there it would have come out by now.

17. Are you referring to Norman Hsu?
Better read this, from the Washington Post:

Hsu Steered Major Fundraiser to Obama
Campaign Acknowledges Link to Democratic Donor Who Is Now Under Arrest
