This is not the <X> I knew

Obama's statement about his now convicted friend, Rezko.
Link here

"This isn't the Tony Rezko I knew," he said, adding that the charges against Rezko "once again shine a spotlight on the need for reform."

That's not the Rev Wright, I knew.
That's not the Pfleger, I knew.
That's not the Auchi, I once toasted to.
That's not the Ayers, I knew.

Okay. Can you actually make a point, or is implication the whole of your arsenal?

Go away.

I have some news.... (2.00 / 2)

Many will be relieved that Obama addressed the rumor that's been circulating the internet.

Sen. Barack Obama on Thursday batted down rumors circulating on the Internet and mentioned on some cable news shows of the existence of a video of his wife using a derogatory term for white people, and criticized a reporter for asking him about the rumor, which has not a shred of evidence to support it.

We have seen this before. There is dirt and lies that are circulated in e-mails and they pump them out long enough until finally you, a mainstream reporter, asks me about it," Obama said to the McClatchy reporter during a press conference aboard his campaign plane. "That gives legs to the story. If somebody has evidence that myself or Michelle or anybody has said something inappropriate, let them do it."

Asked whether he knew it not to be true, Obama said he had answered the question.

Why is that 'news'? Why should Barak have to answer for any made up stories or allegations about him or his campaign?

What next, does Obama have to make a statement on that nutsack Sinclair and his allegations?

It's news because this the first time you heard about it (new information) and because the media reported it.

Why should Barak have to answer for any made up stories or allegations about him or his campaign?

To put the rumor to rest. If you haven't noticed, it's all over the internet.

Uh, it's all over about three websites that no one in their right mind would read. Not exactly the "Muslim" rumor, here.

Wishful thinking.

The NYT picked up the muslim rumor. THAT was big.

The Whitey stuff is some nazis with too much time on their hands.

I'm voting for Saxby Chambliss!

I mean if people buy it, (1.33 / 3)

all the more power to him. All I say is he better get >269 electoral votes. He is no "new" politician. I'll give him credit, he has found new ways to pretend to be a purveyor of "new politics" and "changing the tone"

You sound like someone who's been chanting "wait for Rezko" and is upset that (big suprise!) Obama hasn't done anything untoward.
