Obama Should Have Known Better: Ethics Watchdog Blasts Rezko's Obama Relationship

The L.A. Times has a quote from Jay Stewart of the Better Government Association:

"Everybody in this town knew that Tony Rezko was headed for trouble," said Jay Stewart of the Better Government Assn. in Chicago. "When he got indicted, there wasn't a single insider who was surprised. It was viewed as a long time coming. . . . Why would you be having anything to do with Tony Rezko, particularly if you're planning to run for president?"

Obama really is part of the Chicago Democratic Machine.
