LIAR. Obama did nothing wrong with Rezko. Nothing. Not a shred of evidence, just false rightwing innuendos because you bastards have betrayed the country and don't have any positive issues to run on. So quit smearing a good honest man, you lying swine.

Nevada casinos say indicted Obama fundraiser owes them big By Associated Press Published on: 05/29/08 LAS VEGAS — A prominent political fundraiser on trial in a corruption case in Chicago is wanted in Las Vegas on allegations that he rang up hundreds of thousands of dollars in casino debts. Antoin "Tony" Rezko is sought on a felony warrant issued May 20 alleging that he failed to repay 10 casino loans totaling $472,275 dating to 2006 at Caesars Palace and Bally's. Rezko also is named in a lawsuit alleging he owes $331,000 to the Bellagio casino for loans he received in February 2006. The cases were first reported Thursday by the Las Vegas Sun. Rezko raised money from Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who has distanced himself from Rezko. A federal jury in Chicago has been deliberating since mid-May whether Rezko is guilty of charges including fraud and attempted extortion. Prosecutors allege that Rezko used his clout as a fundraiser for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to push for bribes and kickbacks from companies looking to do business with the state. He denies wrongdoing. Rezko lawyer Joseph J. Duffy declined to comment on the Las Vegas debt cases Thursday in court in Chicago.
