besides, Palin is being investigated for something much more concrete than Rezco. So that closes that book. Shes denying any improprieties occurred of course but there is an investigation which is more significant than anything that ever happened to Obama with Rezco.

Rezko is keeping his mouth shut till after the election. Wait till he finds out there won't be a pardon. Ayers wrote the Annenberg grant and hired Obama to chair the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. He helped launch Obama's political career too. Ayers’ Living Room Posted by Shannon Love on August 27th, 2008 (All posts by Shannon Love) The relationship between Obama and Bill Ayers remains clouded. One thing we do know. Obama’s political career began in Ayers’ living room. In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Many details of the 1995 meeting are shrouded by time and by Obama’s and Ayers’ refusals to discuss it. The exact date is not known, but it was in the second half of 1995, before Palmer’s decision — late in her losing congressional primary against Jesse Jackson Jr. — to jump back into the special election for her state Senate seat. (Her decision produced a rift between her and Obama, who was able to get her thrown off the ballot on technical grounds.) [...] Dr. Young and another guest, Maria Warren, described it similarly: as an introduction to Hyde Park liberals of the handpicked successor to Palmer, a well-regarded figure on the left. “When I first met Barack Obama, he was giving a standard, innocuous little talk in the living room of those two legends-in-their-own-minds, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn,” Warren wrote on her blog in 2005. “They were launching him — introducing him to the Hyde Park community as the best thing since sliced bread.” Heh. They’re not all nuts. I doubt we’ll learn any more. Everybody present was a leftist and its hard to imagine any leftist providing ammunition against Obama at this point. Even so the story shows that Ayers wasn’t some marginal character in the community of leftists that surrounded Obama. chicagoboyz.net
