Curtain Time for Barack Obama

To understand how the Combine works in Illinois it’s important to recognize that the state is divided into three levels of political clout, beginning with Chicago, Cook County and the state of Illinois, according to Chicago columnist Ray Hanania.
It’s also important to remember that in December 2004, when Obama went house-hunting with his real estate fairy Tony Rezko, he did not consider the adverse effects on his presidential bid because Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was still the candidate.
“Your Honor,” he said, “officially we were never told; but, over a year ago, maybe two years ago.”
“Okay,” the judge said, “You were not told well, they may (not) have told you that you were a target, but you have had Mr. Duffy for a while.”
“Two years now,” Rezko replied. Duffy clarified the situation stating: “I believe it was ‘04, your Honor. Sometime in ‘04.”
