To understand Barack Obama on the issues read the story ( Barack Obama Favors Early Release of Sex Offenders From Prison, Posted February 12, 2008 by Christopher Davies ) at Milwaukee Indymedia.

Here is a summary of some of the Rezko scandal.

Taxpayers have been stuck with millions in unpaid loans.

Hundreds of the apartments are vacant, in need of major repairs.

Six buildings are currently boarded up.

Seventeen buildings - many beset with code violations, including lack of heat - ended up in foreclosure.

To quote from paragraph 2 of ( Obama: I didn't know about Rezko problems by Tim Novak ). "Should I have known these buildings were in a state of disrepair? My answer would be that it wasn't brought to my attention," I find Mr. Obama's comments totally impossible to believe. Apparently Mr. Obama wants us to believe that he does not watch television news, read the newspaper or listen to the radio news. Also that he was never contacted by anyone in the Federal, State, County, or city government and he never contacted them or attempted an investigation. Is Mr. Obama corrupt or was he living in a sealed sarcophagus?
