Tony Rezko Convicted of Corruption
Barack Obama’s friend and contributor Tony Rezko was convicted of sixteen felony corruption charges yesterday in Chicago.
This is another crack in the armor of Barack Obama’s vaunted “judgment.” For a man that wishes to be elected President of the United States based on his judgment, he seems to be a really horrendous judge of character. Between his decades long associations with Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers, to his friendships with Rezko and Michael Pfleger, either Barack Obama has very low standards when choosing whom to associate himself with, or his judgment is so weak that these people have completely pulled the wool over his eyes.
This quote suggests that it’s the latter.
“I’m saddened by today’s verdict,” Obama said in a statement Wednesday. “This isn’t the Tony Rezko I knew, but now he has been convicted by a jury on multiple charges that once again shine a spotlight on the need for reform.”
If Barack Obama can’t see through Tony Rezko, why do I want Obama sitting across a table from Raul Castro?
