Again, Obama really showed a disturbing lack of judgement by going into a deal with Rezko...

Which judgement would you prefer; one that costs thousands of American lives and the treat of terrorism as alive as it was on 9/11 or that of an individual who did not do his homework in his personal dealings.

Talking about judgement,, what judgement did Clinton show a la Lewinsky versus his judgement ion running the country.

They are separate issues my friend (Disclaimer: not a McCain supporter :-)

Obama's Rezko deal was morally equivalent to Hillary's cattle futures deal in Arkansas.

The difference is that Obama admitted he was boneheaded, while Hillary insisted there was nothing wrong with what she did.

Again, Obama really showed a disturbing lack of judgement by going into a deal with Rezko at a time when rumors were already swirling. It doesnt look like the press will find much here, but I dont have a problem with them asking questions.

Definitely a lack of judgment. I'm not yet certain how "disturbing." But, I agree, the press should do what the press does. The timing of the trial is seriously unfortunate.
