But there are many other aspects of Obama’s relationship with Rezko – legal work done for his slumlord management company, favors done for Rezko while both a US and state senator, and Obama’s connection to some of Rezko’s shadier associates – all of these questions must eventually be addressed by the candidate himself with the press. It won’t happen on the morning puff shows nor will it be satisfactory if some worshipful reporter were to interview Obama without any knowledge of the ins and outs of Chicago politics and the Rezko-Obama relationship.

The candidate’s press availability was starting to become an issue and I surmised that with the Rezko trial beginning yesterday, sooner or later Obama would have to bite the bullet and face some tough questions.

All traveling campaigns have a bubble-like quality, but Obama seems unusually insulated. One moment of absurdity came Tuesday, when reporters on the press bus were asked to dial into a conference call in which Obama announced a congressman’s endorsement—even though the candidate was nearby and just as easily could have delivered the news in person to the bus captives. Obama answered a few questions, but reporters are generally placed on mute after they speak so there can be no follow-up. (Clinton held a news conference the same morning.)

As the Rezko trial begins, reporters, who care more about a "scoop" and less about protecting the 'new' Messiah, will start asking the hard question about Senator Obama's past ties with not only home grown terrorists, but what was his part in the relationship between Rezko and Nadmi Auchi. Someone will start digging, wondering what the "real" history of Obama is. Here is an interesting artice (although I will admit that it comes from Larry Johnson's web site it is none the less, quite thorough) about Michelle Obama's involvement in the purchase of the historic Georgian mansion the Obama's call home: http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/02/04/how-to-buy-a-mansion-you-cant-afford While everything is moonlight and roses during a honeymoon, that honeymoon eventually comes to an end.

He was kind of evasive. It was on Good Morning America (this morning I think). Terry did a good job of staying on point but Obama was slippery in his answers. Rick,

That's the killer. Since the purchases of the two lots were connected, the discount should have been allocated between the two properties. Instead, Obama got 100% of the discount. That means he paid less than what the value of the house was AS CALCULATED BY ALLOCATING THE DISCOUNTS BETWEEN THE TWO LOTS. Since Rezko did not help in the transaction out of the goodness of his heart, Obama almost certainly incurred taxable income. Obama's real purchase price was probably somewhat north of what he paid in cash, and Rezko's was probably south of what he paid. Tax issues. That’s the killer.
