Illinois Democrats want to impeach Gov over Rezko
 
http://www.newsmax.com/us/illinois_c...11/103489.html

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- The speaker of the Illinois House is circulating a memo outlining how legislative candidates can call for impeachment hearings against the governor, calling corruption during his tenure "a tumor."

Interesting, the Democrat Speaker, wants to impeach the Democrat Governor over Rezko and corruption, but this has nothing to do with the Senator from that state does it!

Rezko was a big wheel fundraiser for him, he (obama) did favors for Rezko while in the Ill. assembly (whatever they call it) and Rezko helped (supposedly, depending on who you believe...he's a politician in Chicago, I believe the worst) Obama buy his house. So Obama was in hip deep.

IT's one of those stories that if it Rezko was best friends with GWB or McCain or McConnel, it would be all over the news whether there was any truth to it or not. Remember "the seriousness of the charge" stuff?

Rezko's wife bought the piece of property next to the Obama Mansion, then gave him a sweetheart deal on a strip of said property adjacent to the Obama property, both peices were purchased from the same seller...

He also gave BO over 250K in campaign donations. People like Rezko expect to be compensated for their generosity..

Rezko-
They don't want to talk about this or Barry's Uncle Jeremiah, they would rather attend a "Prince Speech" and faint.

Dick Cheney is related to Prince Barack, I wonder if he ever went to church with him, can you just picture Dick Cheney yelling and jumping around with Uncle Jeremiah's "flock"--------:singing:

Praise Jesus
God Damn America

I hear that.

Wish I had friends like that.
I'd help them build their deck or pick them up when their truck breaks down.

Obama seems incredibly clean. The owners of the house he bought said he made the highest bid; he paid fair market value for Rezko's piece of property. He was friends with the Rezko since Harvard. What could he have possibly been up to? There's no evidence that Obama did Rezko any favors or otherwise even came close to breaking the law. After the scandal broke with Governor Blagojevich, Obama gave the $10,000 donation he received from Rezko for his Senate campaign to charity.

What do you think the real story is?

What about the other 240K given over the years? I'm sure it is just a big cooindence that one of the biggest fixers in Chi town did a land deal with BO and even helped him evaluate the home before the purchase.

Didn't know what Wright was about was selected for a paying position by a terrorist, and did a land deal with a political fixer, but he was oblivious to it all.

If the guy is this dense should he be running for president?

Patters, if you don't think Obama is a product of the Daley machine, check out how he won his first seat:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...,1843097.story

Basically he had his henchmen go into a backroom, and dislqualify all the other candidates for the office that he wanted. This guy has never had to actually win an election, he has either stolen them, or ran unopposed by a legitimate candidate. I can only hope he comes out and starts talking about "disenfranchising" talk about the pot calling the kettle black!!!
