Category: Politics | 2 Comments
BREAKING NEWS: Chicago Tribune 3/14/08
Barack Obama comes clean for the very first time about his private real estate transactions with Antoin “Tony”Rezko by declaring that they were not simply mistakes of judgment because Rezko was under grand jury investigation at the time of their 2005 and 2006 dealings.

Let’s be candid here… Tony Rezko has made alot of money and there are many dark secrets along the way that most common people like you and I are not privy to. But, somehow, some way Barak Obama became briefly part of his inner circle. That in itself ought to raise many questions about Obama’s motivations. Obama’s reaction to being found out - “IT WAS A MISTAKE” … “I consider this a mistake on my part and I regret it,” Obama told the Chicago Sun-Times back in November 2006.
In June 2005, Obama and Rezko purchased adjoining parcels in Kenwood. The state’s junior senator paid $1.65 million for a Georgian revival mansion, while Rezko paid $625,000 for the adjacent, undeveloped lot. Both closed on their properties on the same day.
Last January, aiming to increase the size of his sideyard, Obama paid Rezko $104,500 for a strip of his land.
The transaction occurred at a time when it was widely known Tony Rezko was under investigation by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and as other Illinois politicians befriended by Rezko distanced themselves from him.
In the Sun-Times interview, Obama acknowledged approaching Rezko about the two properties being up for sale and that Rezko developed an immediate interest. Obama did not explain why he reached out to Rezko given the developer’s growing problems….
