CHARLESTON, S.C.--A photo has surfaced that shows Hillary and Bill Clinton posing with Chicago developer Tony Rezko, a Barack Obama contributor whom Hillary Clinton condemned as a "slum landlord" supporter of the Illinois senator earlier this week.

Clinton was shown the photo during an interview on NBC's Today Show this morning but told host Matt Lauer she did not remember meeting Rezko.

"No, I don't," Clinton told Lauer. "You know, I probably have taken hundreds of thousands of pictures."

During a presidential debate Monday evening, Clinton blasted Obama for his relationship with Rezko, telling Obama she had fought Republican policies as first lady during the 1990s while "you were practicing law and representing your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner-city Chicago."

The photo is undated but Lauer said NBC News believes it was taken during Bill Clinton's presidency.

According to a database of campaign contributions maintained by the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, Rezko made a $15,000 contribution to the Democratic National Committee in March 2000, the last year of the Clinton presidency. Rezko also made a $1,250 contribution during the Clinton re-election campaign in 1996 to a Democratic party account that funded activities in Illinois to help win the election.

With Her...

I better not run for office...

This is so pitiful. It also shows how worried Obama's people are about Rezko. When you can tell me that Rezko helped the Clintons buy their house, we'll talk. We KNOW he helped Obama buy his.

I think the Obama campaign should remind America that Rezko will likely be in jail for the whole of an Obama administration so he can't possibly influence the presidency.

Maybe Obama can promise not to pardon him.
