Is Obama's Letter For Rezko Going to Be a Campaign Issue?

Here's a June Chicago Sun-Times article on Obama and Rezko:

As a state senator, Barack Obama wrote letters to city and state officials supporting his political patron Tony Rezko's successful bid to get more than $14 million from taxpayers to build apartments for senior citizens.

The deal included $855,000 in development fees for Rezko and his partner, Allison S. Davis, Obama's former boss, according to records from the project, which was four blocks outside Obama's state Senate district.


Obama's letters, written nearly nine years ago, for the first time show the Democratic presidential hopeful did a political favor for Rezko -- a longtime friend, campaign fund-raiser and client of the law firm where Obama worked -- who was indicted last fall on federal charges that accuse him of demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state business under Gov. Blagojevich.

The letters appear to contradict a statement last December from Obama, who told the Chicago Tribune that, in all the years he's known Rezko, "I've never done any favors for him.''

Would Obama do you a favor if you weren't one of his constituents and you didn't give him money?? Anyway,this is probably one of the most significant articles on Obama and Rezko.Simply,Obama hasn't told the whole truth about his relationship with his close friend Tony Rezko.
