I still feel like I do not know the man behind the charming smile.
Two things bother me even more than Mansion Gate.
What disturbs me most comes from the LA Times on January 23:
Obama has said repeatedly that he did nothing in exchange for Rezko's early and consistent support.
But in 1998, then-state Sen. Obama wrote to state and city officials urging them to provide funding for New Kenwood LLC, a company formed by Rezko and Allison Davis. Obama wrote the letters, first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times, on Illinois Senate stationery, saying: "This project will provide much needed housing for 4th Ward citizens."

But I am also bothered by this
During his 12 years in politics, Sen. Barack Obama has received nearly three times more campaign cash from indicted businessman Tony Rezko and his associates than he has publicly acknowledged, the Chicago Sun-Times has found.

I am concerned because it seems like Obama is not forthcoming, and if so, what else could be around to fly in our face at the General Election?
I am also bothered by how the Trial date has continued to recede until it will take place just as our primaries draw to a close. Hard to believe that it just happened that way.
I just hope that if Obama is our candidate, that Rezko isn't going to be the Swiftboat that cruises McCain ito the whitehouse.
