Good old Chicago . Barack's money man Tony Rezko's still singing so his sentencing has been postponed, even as the FBI takes another look at the Obama/Rezko loan files. But we've got one--not The One, it's Fast Eddie Vrodolyak who pleads guilty : Former Chicago Ald. Edward Vrdolyak long enjoyed a reputation for always being a step ahead of federal investigators, but Monday his past caught up with...

Remember that little land deal "Favor" that Tony Rezko did for his friend Barack (Don't Say My Middle Name) Obama. As you can see from this google earth picture. It wasn't an adjacent "undeveloped lot" it was for OBAMA'S BACKYARD. A former bank officer involved in the loan for the property says that the appraisal was tampered with, before the property was purchased. He sued because he was fired for...
Sun Times , "Rezko, pals made millions on Home Depot Deal": It was a quick $4.6 million profit for Tony Rezko and his partners. And it happened because Mayor Daley told them no. The mayor wouldn't let Rezko, Dan Mahru and Ali Ata build townhomes at Addison and Kimball on Chicago's Northwest Side. Rather than fight City Hall, Rezko and his partners sold the 10-acre site to Home Depot — represented...
Did she get one of those great slum deals from Obama's pal Tony Rezko? I guess the Messiah Lord Barack Hussein Obama (the most merciful) loves to spread that wealth around, 'eh? Gateway Pundit Stop the ACLU TimesOnline
I just don't understand how anyone can't grasp this: Tony Rezko did a six-figure favor for Barack Obama in connection with Obama's house purchase. The only other explanation requires one to believe that Obama is a brilliant real estate pro and that Tony Rezko is stupid enough to pay full asking price at exactly the same time. But I go...
The RNC released a 2-minute web video titled "Lapse in Judgement." It targets Barack Obama and his dealings with convicted felon and close friend Tony Rezko: This is a great ad that explains Obama's relationship with the Chicago crook. The RNC should keep throwing mud at the wall this week... Some of it is starting to stick. And, this is exactly the information voters need to be aware of the last few...
In 2005, Barack Obama bought the mansion that can be seen through the adjoining lot. It's that piece of property that interest we're going to focus on this morning. Tony Rezko's wife Rita, a woman of modest income, purchased the "Rezko lot" on the same day the Obamas purchased their Georgian home. Obama paid less than the asking price for the stately residence, but what about the strip of land next...
Chicago developer Tony Rezko provided the bridge that made it possible for Barack Obama to buy his $1.65 million dream house by arranging for the price to be lowered by splitting the acreage and having his wife pay full price ($625,000) for a 9090 sq. ft. portion of the side yard accessible only through the [...]
A whistleblower lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court this past week by a former bank official for Chicago's Mutual Bank alleges that the bank over-valued an adjacent vacant lot to Sen. Barack Obama's home purchased by Rita Rezko, wife of convicted influence peddler Tony Rezko, to assist Obama in the contemporaneous purchase of his South Side mansion for $1.6 million, which was $300,000 less than...
In Saturday's " Attacking Obama's Associations ," New York Times reporter Michael Cooper reviewed a John McCain campaign ad emphasizing Barack Obama's ties to controversial Chicago political figures like the radical Bill Ayers and the felonious fundraiser Tony Rezko. He wasn't impressed, which is no surprise from the McCain-mocking Cooper. But did Cooper really compare domestic terrorist Bill Ayers...
