Religious Resignation

[Jester]

Not 6. One, and at most two with Aiham Alsammarae (a close friend of Rezko).

One is the link to Rezko, but if anyone is arguing that he's not a scumbag, I haven't heard them. That guy is pure sleaze, and Obama having even a passing connection with him is a serious blot on his record. He's a poltician that came out of Chicago, and you don't survive that without a few sketchy connections. As I said way back in the beginning of the previous thread, I don't think Obama walks on water, and anyone who does is in for a hard fall.

But linking from Obama through Rezko to Alsammarae, or any of the others, is two steps. By the same token, we could go through Rezko to George W. Bush, or the Clintons, or to any of a hundred politicians, Democrat and Republican, and to a veritable horde of lobbyists and interested parties. He's an influence peddler. These connections are his job and his life, and you can go through Rezko to practically anyone. Is there anything in particular that connects Obama to any of the nastier people in Rezko's rolodex?

The $2300 donated online by Alsammarae seems to be a non-issue. Obama makes that much in a good minute online, and such a contribution would go totally unnoticed, especially if broken into 6 parts. He did the honourable thing and donated the money to charity, along with most of his Rezko cash, as soon as it was brought to his attention. He's no longer the little kid from Chicago with big dreams, and no longer needs these people to ante up at the political poker table. I just hope it stays that way.

It's much better to expose all the skeletons in the closet now, than to have to derail the nation and it's business for a year going through impeachment trials once again.

As if the Clinton impeachment trials were in any sense necessary.
