Chicago Columnist: Obama Just Another Chicago Politician.
Politics • March 2008 • Views: 168
I was focused on Obama and Rezko. I wanted to believe Obama, and almost did.
…
Obama asks us to believe he can swim in the sewers of Illinois politics without catching a cold. He tells us that Rezko helped him scope out his dream house, yet Obama never thought he’d get a call from Tony saying his back was itchy.
“No,” Obama said. “Because I had known him for a long time, and so I would have assumed I would have seen a pattern [of Rezko asking for favors] over the course of 15 years.”
I’m too old to believe in fairy tales.
