Tony Rezko Guilty On 16 Charges

CBS News Reports:
A prominent fundraiser for Sen. Barack Obama (and Democrat Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois) was convicted Wednesday of fraud and money laundering after a high-profile federal trial provided an unusually detailed glimpse of the pay-to-play politics that has made Illinois infamous. The jury delivered a mixed verdict against Obama's one time Chicago backer that found Rezko guilty of scheming with the government's star witness to get kickbacks out of money management firms wanting state business. Rezko was found guilty of 16 of 24 counts.

Rezko has known Obama since he entered politics and was involved in a 2005 real estate deal with the Democratic presidential candidate. So here we have it, ladies and gentelman. Another Obama associate from Chicago was neck high in corruption while being a financial backer of Barack Obama. How many dirty associations can this presidential candidate have before people are totally fed up?
