‘In the media, Obama always made it sound like he rarely saw Rezko, saying they met for
breakfast or lunch once or twice a year. However, the FBI mole John Thomas helped
investigators “build a record of repeat visits to the old offices of Rezko and former business
partner Daniel Mahru’s Rezmar Corp., at 853 N. Elston, by Blagojevich and Obama during
2004 and 2005,” according to the February 10, 2008 Sun-Times.’ (Evelyn Pringle, “Curtain for

At the height of the Jeremiah Wright scandal in mid-March 2008, Obama finally gave in to the
demands of the Chicago press corps and agreed to answer some questions about his relations with
Rezko over the years. Obama was obviously seeking to use one scandal to eclipse another, but
Pringle has gone through the relevant articles and found much material which is damaging to the
Illinois Messiah. One aspect of this was the infiltrated FBI spy had testified that Obama was
constantly in the company of Rezko:
During his March 14, 2008 interview, the Sun Times told Obama, Thomas is an FBI mole and
he “recently told us that he saw you coming and going from Rezko’s office a lot.” “And three
other sources told us that you and Rezko spoke on the phone daily.” “Is that true?” the reporter
asked. “No,” Obama said, “That’s not accurate.” “I think what is true,” he said, “is that, it
depends on the period of time.” “I’ve known him for 17 years,” Obama stated. “There were
stretches of time where I would see him once or twice a year.” He told the Sun Times, “when he
was involved in finance committee for the U.S. Senate race, or the state senate races, or the U.S.
Congressional race, then he was an active member.” “During the U.S. Senate race, there’d be
stretches of like a couple of weeks - for example prior to him organizing the fundraiser that he
did for us - where I would probably be talking to him once a day to make sure that was going
well,” he said. “But the typical relationship was one that was fond,” he added. “We would see
each other.” Now the story is that he may have talked to Rezko daily at times during campaigns
but sometimes he went for a whole month without talking to him. “I have to say we’re talking
over the course of 10 years,” Obama said, “there might have been spurts where I talked to him
daily.” (Evelyn Pringle, opednews.com)
Further invasion is useless; Obama was as close to Rezko as the thumb is to the forefinger. One
way to document this is by following the money. Obama himself has confessed to accepting
something in the neighborhood of a quarter million dollars from his convicted felon backer.
‘Tony Rezko was Obama’s political Godfather. Obama received his first contributions of
$2,000, to launch his political career as a state senator on July 31, 1995, from Rezko. Obama
started out saying that Rezko only raised $50,000 or $60,000 for his political career but after a
year of lying his way through the primaries, the latest total he gave to the Sun-Times and
Tribune during interviews on March 14, 2008, adds up to $250,000.’ (Evelyn Pringle,

Rezko and Obama go back a long way together, back to the early 90s when Obama was
completing law school at Harvard. ‘Obama met Rezko soon after graduating from Harvard Law
School. Rezko was well connected in Chicago’s African-American community, in part because he
had worked with Jabir Herbert Muhammad, the son of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad,
