The Real Story of Rezko and Obama: 10 Myths Debunked

Note: I'm the author of a new book, Barack Obama: This Improbable Quest, but I'm not part of the Obama campaign.

There’s been a huge amount of misinformation and rumor about Barack Obama’s dealings with Tony Rezko. This is not a new story. At the first Democratic debate in 2007, Brian Williams of NBC asked Obama about his connections to Rezko. The same thing happened on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos. But it’s a complex set of charges, and a lot of details have been falsely reported on blogs and in the mainstream press.

Here are 10 myths debunked about Obama and Rezko:

JohnKWilson's diary :: ::
Myth #1: Obama did legal work for Rezko

Claim: Hillary Clinton during a debate denounced Obama for "representing your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner city Chicago."

The truth: According to Factcheck.org, "Obama was associated with a law firm that represented the community groups working with Rezko on several deals. There's no evidence that Obama spent much time on them, and he never represented Rezko directly. So it was wrong for Clinton to say he was ‘representing ... Rezko.’ That's untrue."

1. Good post. And as a bonus...

Here's the link to the Chicago sun-time interview with Obama where he answers more than 20 questions on the issue straight on. Doesn't read like a guy who's afraid of giving a direct answer.

2. And let's not forget.

Just to get some perspective on the ground that Hillary stands on when leveling this attack, let's not forget about Chicago-based Turkish businessman Mehmet Celebi.

3. This should be permanently pinned to the top of the forum.
