5. Awe, If Only Political News Went Away That Quickly
I'd say it simply proves that she did meet him although she denied it. Here is some more interesting information:

"Tony Rezco has long been a supporter of the Democratic Party and has donated several thousands of dollars in campaign money to the Democratic Party, including Bill Clinton's re-election campaign.

Hillary Clinton is claiming ignorance and states that she does not know Tony Rezco. Clinton further goes on to say that, she has posed for hundreds of thousands of pictures, and that some times she does not even know who these people are. This is in fact, an understandable excuse. There are many politicians that pose with donors and they do not know who they are, and it cannot be expected that they investigate every single donor before they take a picture with them.

Nevertheless, this is not the first time that the Clinton's have been caught posing with people that would later become known as charlatans or undesirable in their political aspirations. In 1996, a photo surfaced of Hillary Clinton at a White House Christmas Party. The person in the photo with her is a convicted drug smuggler by the name of Jorge Cabrera. It is reported that only three weeks after the event Mr. Cabrera was arrested for smuggling 6,000 pounds of cocaine into the U.S."

6. So Do I But It Doesn't Seem To Be Going Away
And I am not claiming it means anything other than that she is a hypocrite to be using it against Obama. I think that is fair.

10. I doubt Obama ever posed for a photo with Rezko but he had a long
friendly relationship and lucked into a great real estate deal.
