Rezco Literally is a Slumlord Hillary wasnt exagerating

The tenants there had no heat from Dec. 27, 1996, until at least Feb. 3, 1997, when the city of Chicago sued to turn the heat on. The case was settled later that month with a $100 fine.

It was during that time that the area's new state senator, Barack Obama, got a $1,000 campaign donation from Rezmar. The date: Jan. 14, 1997.

1. He got more than $1000, they were just about business partners.

3. The Obama campaign donated something like $150,000 in Rezko donations to charity
That's a fairly significant connection between the two.

5. I don't think Hsu gave Obama nearly as much as Rezko did.

12. Yeah, because you say so.
Don't let facts get in the way of a good sliming. You couldn't refute that article if you wanted to, and God knows you don't even have it in you to try.

9. That'd make Obama the dumbest guy in Chicago, which I don't believe.

10. A donation which Obama has donated away, a man Obama has rejected and denounced.
But drive-by Hillary-automatons will still slime away.
