Clinton-Rezko DNC Connection?

GLAMOUR SHOT Clintons, Rezko
As Hillary Clinton continues to insist that she has "no relationship" with shady indicted real estate investor Tony Rezko, the facts seem to indicate otherwise.

According to records, Rezko donated $15,000 to the Democratic National Committee in March 2000. At the time, the committee was helmed by longtime Clinton ally Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who endorsed Hillary Clinton on Wednesday. While it's possible that Rendell and the Clintons discussed neither the donation nor the donor, it's not likely.

This morning, on the Today show, Clinton was caught off guard when NBC's Matt Lauer showed a picture of herself, Rezko and husband Bill. Asked if she remembered meeting the man she accused of being a slumlord, she sad no.

"No, I don't," Clinton told Lauer. "You know, I probably have taken hundreds of thousands of pictures. I don't know the man, I wouldn't know him if he walked in the door. I don't have a 17-year relationship with him," Clinton said Friday. "There is a big difference between standing somewhere taking a picture with someone you don't know, haven't seen since, and having a relationship."

this picture was taken at a fundraiser for senator carol mosley braun...YEARS AGO...taking a picture with someone at a fundraiser is very different from obama's relationship with rezko...obama has alot of questions concerning rezko that need to be answered...such as...rezko's involvement in obama's house purchase...OBAMA IS TRYING TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT...face facts...rezko and obama had some shady dealings...rezko will destroy the democrat party in nov '08 if obama gets the nomination...there is alot we don't know about rezkogate...

Rezkogate? Are you crazy? The major difference between them is that the Clintons have had longer to perfect their craft, (not a compliment). Obama is interesting, charismatic and a temporary distraction. He may actually mean well but he will not be POTUS. Hillary, on the other hand, is a sociopath. That she partnered up with another sociopath is a tragic irony for America, because she may actually get away with this.
