Did anyone see this before?

Have we seen stories like this in the US press and I've just missed them or is Obama facing a different level of scrutiny from the international press?

I think that's an old story. (or old news) They (MSNBC and Fox) did a story on that a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, after I posted it, I saw this link.

My bad, but I hadn't seen any coverage before, and it see ms like it would come up in conversations about how squeaky clean his record seems. Maybe I need to watch more Fox or MSNBC. Or apparently listen to Hillary Clinton in debates.

LOL. I am really getting tired of the dems acting like children. The republicans are probably enjoying it though. No wonder people are choosing to be independent.

Well, I wasn't really enjoying it. I don't have anything againt Obama really. I was just surprised that I completely missed a story that I would have expected to get more play.

Of course some of the coverage was when I was still wearing my Fred goggles, so that may be why I didn't care.

The trial's just started and even the Chicago Tribune has questioned why little of the Rezko case has stuck to Obama. I think it's a case of being aquaintances with the wrong guy but we'll see. That said it reads very tabloidish ( "Mr. Obama's bagman?" ).

^^^ Definitely not only you. I am sorta concerned that this has been glossed over in my media outlets.
