'whaddya think Barack...whitey gonna vote for ya?'
'sure hon..we got'em fooled!'
Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, 52, showed no emotion as the jury delivered a mixed verdict that found him guilty of scheming with the government's star witness to get kickbacks out of money management firms wanting state business, but acquitted him of charges that included attempted extortion.
The jury delivered its guilty verdict on 16 of 24 counts after a nine-week trial.
Rezko has known Obama since he entered politics and was involved in a 2005 real estate deal with the Democratic presidential candidate, although testimony barely touched on their relationship. Most of the focus was on shakedowns prosecutors said Rezko arranged when he was a top adviser to Blagojevich.
Neither Blagojevich nor Obama has been accused of wrongdoing.
Rezko's defense attorneys maintained that the government had little evidence tying him to corruption and that the star witness, admitted political fixer Stuart P. Levine, was not credible because years of drug use had damaged his memory.
The only American leftist that is, as far as I know, more honest than Barak Obama is Senator Bernard Sanders, Independent, Vermont.
//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders
Senator Obama's Chicago heritage besmirches him, to be sure. But at least has has made no attempt to hide what he believes. He has clearly espoused his beliefs with every speech he has made during this campaign season.
On the whole, he has bee far more honest than any of his Democrat colleagues, save Bernie Sanders. And, it must not be forgotten, that he has been vastly more honest about his core values and beliefs than has Senator John McCain.
The Democrat Party should, for the sake of honesty, change its name to the Socialist Party of the United States, or, better yet, 'Partido Socialistas del Estado Unidos.'
The Republican Party on the other hand, would do well to declare itself the 'Fascist Party of the United States'. I say this because the Republicans are adamant about maintaining corporate and individual property rights, but are obsequiously willing allow the Democrats to have full say in how any and all American property may be disposed.
The road into Hell is paved with good intentions, but the name of that road is Altruism.
Good night, and good luck.
Yup. Let the racism and vitriol begin. It's gonna get ugly. Hard to say where crackers like the commentors here will end up....hopefully, you won't go completely postal when Obama is elected.
Just F'in sad people still have no brains and coy Fox Feces Toilet.
Really?
yep he has everyone fooled. I can't believe this happened. Now ...I give you all permission and you have my blessings to bash America all you like. Because at least 3/4 of the country are morons.
I think the funniest thing about it all is....HIS PEOPLE all relate and liken themselves to him...meanwhile there aint one in the whole group he can look at like a peer.
