If you look closely, it's plain: Rezko is Obama's problem

January 27, 2008

There was some buzz about it, but it wasn't really a gotcha photo, and it really doesn't help Barack Obama, that photo of Bill and Hillary Clinton sandwiching indicted political fixer Tony Rezko at some forgotten fundraiser.

Billary were like two icy slices of white political bread, and Rezko stood between them like meat. All the Clintons probably knew of Rezko was what they could feel coming through his palms pressed against their backs: some ambitious somebody ready to make some moves.

That won't hurt Hillary. And she's probably got some other images in mind—either real photos or word pictures—about Rezko and Obama that she'll probably drop on the way to Super Tuesday.

One image will surely involve the dream house that Rezko helped the Obamas buy. And another involves Rezko himself, about to stand federal trial in a huge political corruption case involving not only Democrats, but old bull Republicans in Illinois, with Rezko passing through the metal detectors in the federal courthouse.......

1. Peddle this crap on another night. As an Edwards supporter, I find it insulting.

3. No, he's not. More HRCs problem since she's making such a desperate attempt
of minimalizing him.

Look at HRC... Can't even bother to concede in person - sends her husband in her place.

7. Not in the court of public opinion
People are free to make reasonable assumptions and believe whatever they want.
