Old friend ?This guy Rezko is the sleaziest slumlord Ive ever heard about .Hillary was not exaggerating .He is a huge slumlord!
If there is no dirt involving Obama and Rezko it will be a miracle.
But regardless ,how can Obama sleep at night knowing that his "old friend" keeps his poor tenants in Chicago below freezing cold for 5 weeks with no heat?
How do people literally survive ?
How does Obama clean the slime off of himself after having a fancy dinner with Rezco?
Dont bother saying Obama didnt know about the conditions ,the LA times article in another post said Obama worked on one of the Rezco cases defending him for turning off the heat.
OBAMA SUPPORTERS READ THIS.

"For more than five weeks during the brutal winter of 1997, tenants shivered without heat in a government-subsidized apartment building on Chicago's South Side.Rezko and Mahru couldn't find money to get the heat back on.But their company, Rezmar Corp., did come up with $1,000 to give to the political campaign fund of Barack Obama, the newly elected state senator whose district included the unheated building."

"By the time Rezmar started working with those community groups, at least two of its earlier buildings were falling into disrepair -- including the Englewood apartment building at 7000 S. Sangamon where the tenants were without heat for five weeks.

The tenants there had no heat from Dec. 27, 1996, until at least Feb. 3, 1997, when the city of Chicago sued to turn the heat on. The case was settled later that month with a $100 fine.

It was during that time that the area's new state senator, Barack Obama, got a $1,000 campaign donation from Rezmar. The date: Jan. 14, 1997. "
"Eleven of Rezko's buildings were in Obama's state Senate district."
"Seventeen buildings -- many beset with code violations, including a lack of heat -- ended up in foreclosure.

• Six buildings are currently boarded up.

• Hundreds of the apartments are vacant, in need of major repairs.

• Taxpayers have been stuck with millions in unpaid loans.

At least a dozen times, the city of Chicago sued Rezmar for failure to heat buildings. "
