Obama and Rezko Reality

Sweet was backed up by Jim Warren today on “Tucker.” He, too,
thinks Obama’s got quite a few questions left to answer.
On Sunday, the chief strategist for the Obama campaign disagreed with my
conclusion where I wrote that Obama has not talked to reporters who know the
Tony Rezko story the best.For more than a year, that has been a pretty small group of investigative
journalists—from the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune. I checked
with the Sun-Times reporters before I wrote my column and rechecked again.
They all said they have never had a chance to discuss Rezko with Obama.
Jeralyn’s got the transcript from “This Week,” as well as some analysis on the back and forth going on between Wolfson and Axelrod.
But this is interesting, from “Nightline” tonight:
MORAN: If Tony Rezko called you as a witness in the trial would you testify
for him?OBAMA: Well, I don’t know what my legal obligations would be. And so yeah,
I would leave that up to lawyers.
Not exactly the back and forth you want to have during an election season, now is it.
