Obama's dealings with Rezko buy a parcel of questions

Unlike the Times, Chicago papers still occasionally report negative stories on Democrats. This could end up being a serious problem for Osama Obama.

Sen. Barack Obama may have thought a wrought iron fence would give him all the separation he needed from indicted Wilmette businessman Antoin "Tony" Rezko.

But before everything is said and done, our star senator is going to wish he'd done a lot more a lot sooner to distance himself from his longtime political supporter.

On Wednesday, the other newspaper reported to our surprise that Obama and Rezko, in effect, are neighbors, having separately purchased adjoining parcels of the Kenwood estate where Obama lives. Adding to the strangeness of the coincidence is that they each closed their purchase on the same day.

Read it all. Appears to be a moderately veiled payoff.
