All I ask is that you watch and listen to what this News reporter has to report about Barack Obama, and to read this quote from writer Larry Johnson:

"beyond the corrupt influence-peddling and Obama’s exploitation of the associations mentioned in the video for his own personal and political gain -- there were poor people in Chicago who did not get decent housing (as shown fairly graphically in the video) even though Rezko got millions in government monies for supposed rehabilitation.

So why didn’t it infuriate Obama? Why did he hang around Rezko, giving him a tour of his prospective new home and getting Rezko to buy the adjacent lot, knowing that this man misused millions and denied people decent housing – including heat in the winter?

How could Barack Obama bear to be in the same room with such a man who’d put his OWN consituents through hell? Let alone cook up a cozy home purchase with him since he couldn’t afford the home and lot on his own — when there were surely other wealthy patrons and friends who might have helped instead? Why choose the man who’s under active federal investigation? Does such a man have any morals?

In my book, such a man does not have morals and is only interested in the influences and monies that a 'fixer' like Rezko can bring him."
