What I make of that is that Rezko was indited a while ago and Obama knew the trial was coming so of course he would not include him. We will never know if Obama would have chosen to include him or not but we do know that Obama took money from him before the indictment.
And please understand, I am not saying there was definitely anything funny business going on but after years of things just like this I am skeptical and I tend to think that if there is smoke there maybe fire.
