In your neigborhood, people lay down $625K to help a fella buy a house? It's just a friendly neighbor thing Thats crazy. Even if the Rezko's had been neighbors, which they weren't. They still aren't. Maybe it's a 'Jeez, this guy may be the next President, I think I should be nice" thing. He'd only just been elected to the Senate. No hint of a Presidential run. Even so, putting down $625K to buy a 60' wide strip of a possible future Presidents yard is inappropriate buying of influence. I am amazed at what Democrats will rationalize. Here's the still unmet challenge: No liberal can explain why Rezko's wife bought part of Obama's yard. I think I can explain it though. I think Obama didn't know he would be under national scrutiny or that Rezko would be in prison in a few years. So he went along with a scheme to lower the price he paid for his house by letting a part of the property be bought by a corrupt crony who would quietly deed it over to Obama in a few years for a dollar or so. If anyone knows of an explanation that makes more sense.
