A little perspective on the Rezko business.

[hedgehog]

I am not convinced that there is any "there" there. It is in the nature of being a developer to work with politicians and vice versa. I'm a little more concerned about the quid pro quo between Hillary Clinton and Robert Congel, but then that's it my back yard.

Anyhow, please note that no prosecutor has gone after Obama himself. His deal with Mrs. Rezko is on the up and up.

Finally, Obama wouldn't be the first politician to have a few friends that raise some eyebrows. Robert Kennedy started out working for Joe McCarthy, then later worked against him. Joe McCarthy was godfather to one of Bobby's kids. Bobby felt a certain loyalty to Joe despite their disagreements, and later quietly attended Joe's funeral in Wisconsin.
