I'm from Chicago, and I really don't see anything to be concerned about whatsoever with regards to Obama and Rezko. This kind of stuff easily gets blown out of proportion in the national media, where Rezko himself isn't a big news story overall. Here, however, it's much more clear that if there's any major politician who needs to be looked at with suspicion when it comes to Rezko ties, it's Public Official A....er, I mean, Governor Blagojevich.
That said, Obama's not squeaky clean...but no one is, politician or not. I'm much more comfortable with his level of ethical imperfection than I am with Clinton or McCain's.
