This is a bit of a superficial perception of what happened. My own grandmother was very racist when her generation was in charge of things, as I understand many people were (she still makes off color comments now and again, which we simply dismiss as leftover animosity from decades ago). Were you alive during the 60s to watch the civil rights movement hit stride? I wasn't, but from what I've had explained to me it seems as if most of white America was at least a bit racist. Which would make a racist attitude... typical. So I hardly think that recounting history is throwing his grandmother under the bus, in fact he has spoken highly of her parenting him. He also said "The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't."
I'm not discussing Rev. Wright anymore. That horse has been dead and pulverized for quite some time.
As for Rezko,
this is the whole story. It's boring and quite frankly implicates Obama in absolutely nothing at all.
