Obama & Tony Rezko

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2004458521_rezko05.html gives the long version.

In a nutshell.... yeah, they've known each other for a little while. Tony was a fundraiser for Obama. They've never been close-knit pals or anything.

Just a couple of notes about Obama and his suspicious relationships: What politician isn't a freakin crook himself? They're all involved in scandalous deals, some are better at not getting caught than others though.
