Had this arrest happened before Nov 4th the results of the election would probably have been much different wouldn’t they? For those who say “what does this have to do with Obama?” I say the same thing the crashing economy has to do with McCain/Palin and that was the singular event that turned the tide for Obama. Why? Because the media enabled the association.
The mantra “what does this have to do with Obama?” has been repeated so often during the electoral process that it became almost a standard. The names are like a rogues gallery of characters. Rezko (also associated with this arrested governor), Wright, Ayers, the list just grows like the tip of Pinochio’s nose. Eventually some of the crap has to stick doesn’t it? Oh no, not for the Obamessiah! However, substitute that (D) for an (R) and the media would have been on it like sharks in bloody water.
I’m not suggesting that any Illinois politician’s misdeeds are a reflection of the President Elect’s. It’s not a suggestion. There is more of a connection to Obama if you use the simple process of triangulation than there ever was of President Bush’s to his “Ohl buddies”. If I had the time and inclination I’d run a side by side comparison of the despicable allegations made against George W. Bush with no basis in fact, against the complete absence of them against Obama, who has a treasure trove of documented associations available to anyone with a modicum of logical reasoning. Not that it would make a difference to the swooning masses. I used to say Bill Clinton had Teflon coating. He doesn’t come close to Obama’s ability to live in a cesspool of manure and still emerge with nary a dingleberry stuck to his white armor.
For those interested in the recently arrested, future cellmate of Tony Rezko, here are some links. I post them knowing full well the swooning Obama acolytes wont read them and the rest of you have probably read them in depth.
