Title: “BarackBook”
VO: Over the years, Barack Obama has built a social network of shady political patrons and his list of friends continues to grow.
Tony Rezko is his top friend.
Obama was able to purchase his house $300,000 below list price, while Tony’s wife, Rita, purchased the lot next door for full market value on the same day.
As it turns out, Rezko was also linked to Joe Biden.
Both Biden and Rezko are longtime friends with Joseph Cari, who pled guilty to a federal extortion charge in the Chicago Rezko trial.
He’s been in Biden’s list of friends for 30 years and was his Midwest field director in ’88.
Cari took part in an $850,000 kickback scheme – part of the political fundraising operation for Governor Blagojevich led by Rezko.
And after a few friends posted some links, Biden wrote this on his own wall, “All I know is Joe Cari is a friend, and he’s an honorable guy, but I don’t know anything beyond that.”
Barack Obama’s social network has quite a cast of characters. To read about the rest of them, go to BarackBook.com. Paid for by the Republican National Committee. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.
