Rezco Political Corruption Trial set to begin Feb 25
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-tony-rezko_webfeb01,1,2765450.story

Antoin "Tony" Rezko turned down a federal judge's invitation Thursday to delay the start of his trial by a week, at least for now.

U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve offered to move the opening of the trial to March 3 because Rezko's legal team has been unable to prepare for trial this week while fighting unsuccessfully to keep him free on bond.

His political corruption trial is currently set to begin Feb. 25.

1. If it gets to ugly Obama will become unelectable
His whole "change" matra will be exposed as a farce. There are two other stories about him brewing too.
One involves buying stock in companies he voted legislation through for and the other is another donor scandal.
So much for "change"

2. He isn't change. He won't be change.
But he won't be indicted, either. So his supporters will be able to say there's nothing there. OR that it's just like Whitewater. Whichever. Don't you know better than to buck the tides of HISTORY? Oh, yeah, and newness and change.
