Do you really think that someone with the middle name of Hussein and a last name that rhymes with Osama is going to be elected President? A little Manchurian Candidate don’t you think?

When will the media come forth with the Obama connections to Chicago political corruption? Anyone investigating this? How many people nationally have heard of Tony Rezko, the Chicago developer and restauranteur who is currently up on charges of corruption and bribery?

In November, 2006, Barack Obama drew media scrutiny because he had purchased his house in 2005, on the same day that Antoin Rezko purchased an adjoining empty lot. Obama subsequently bought from Rezko an adjoining strip of land from the empty lot. There is no evidence that Obama broke any laws or did anything improper. However, Obama acknowledges that the exchange may have created the appearance of impropriety, and stated “I consider this a mistake on my part and I regret it.”

In June, 2007 the Chicago Sun-Times published a story about letters Obama had written to city and state officials in support of a low-income senior citizen development project headed by Rezko and partner Allison Davis. The project received more than $14 million in taxpayer funds, including $885,000 in development fees for Rezko and Davis. Before the Sun-Times discovered Obama’s letters in support of Rezko, Sen. Obama had told the Tribune, “I’ve never done any favors for him.” In response, Obama spokesman Bill Burton said “This wasn’t done as a favor for anyone, it was done in the interests of the people in the community who have benefited from the project. I don’t know that anyone specifically asked him to write this letter nine years ago. There was a consensus in the community about the positive impact the project would make and Obama supported it because it was going to help people in his district.” Rezko’s attorney responded that “Mr. Rezko never spoke with, nor sought a letter from, Senator Obama in connection with that project.

Also in June 2007, The Chicago Sun-Times discovered that Obama had collected at least $168,308 from Rezko over Obama’s 12 years in politics, approximately triple the estimate that Obama had provided of Rezko’s donations. Obama had told the Sun-Times that Rezko raised “between $50,000 and $60,000″ during Obama’s political career. However, Obama has since donated all campaign contributions from Rezko to charity.

Questionable political and business ties. No business experience. Very little government experience. No foreign policy experience. No military experience.

If it wasn’t for an African-American experience, he wouldn’t even be considered as a national candidate.
