Obama's Troubling Friends

By Hugh Hewitt

Chicago influence peddler Tony Rezko's 16 convictions on fraud and related matters would be a major story even if his shady connections damaged only Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, which they have.

But Rezko's criminal activities touch on a much higher level political figure: Democratic nominee for president Barack Obama. Rezko has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Obama, mentored him as he entered politics, and then helped Barack and Michelle buy their current home. The closeness between Obama and his friend financier and now felon cannot be denied, only ignored by the mainstream media.

Over and over again Obama's friends and sponsors turn out to have troubling pasts and presents. From terrorists Ayers and Dohrn to radical preachers Phleger and Wright we now add a crook. The friends of Barack Obama are troubling indeed.
