One of the reasons Barry Hussein the fear Word Obama is opting out of the public financing is that he has some Rezko bundlers. Of course, wait, what am I thinking? We can't mention Rezko because it is just a case of guilt by association, even though Obama got them sweet deals and took money from them that could have gone to heating tenements as detailed elsewhere on WMD:An event Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) headlined last week has prompted head-scratching among Illinois ethics experts and drawn sharp rebuke from Republicans because one of the main organizers participated in Antoin “Tony” Rezko’s old fundraising network.
John W. Rogers Jr., the chairman of Ariel Investments who gave $22,500 in contributions to Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) through Rezko, hosted a top-dollar special reception with Obama Thursday to raise money for the Democratic White House Victory Fund.
Rogers has also pledged to raise over $200,000 for Obama’s campaign. He was one of many political players whose name surfaced during Rezko’s recent trial. A federal jury convicted the Chicago political fixer of mail and wire fraud, aiding and abetting bribery and money laundering.
Rogers gave contributions of $10,000, $7,500 and $5,000 to Blagojevich through Rezko, according to a chart of contributions the Department of Justice (DoJ) presented as part of its case.
You know, I would say that Obama's opting out of the public financing and breaking his pledge further shows poor character and judgement, but evidently that is just trivia. I guess breaking promises made is just trivia too.
