During the debates Hilary made a point of accusing Barack Obama of working for a slum lord in his past. Just one of MANY exageratted claims she's made on the campaign trail in an effort to bring him down.
Now a photo turns up with her and Slick Willy standing next to the guy. Of course, this doesn't mean they were involved with her, but it sure makes you think she might want to be more careful with her mud-throwing campaign.
As a Republican I am so torn on this whole Democrat Primary process.
I want Obama to win, because I think he'd be the best thing for this country in several ways. Most importantly I think a black President might change the way the black community sees itself, and I think overseas it would be a good thing too. I'm pretty sure we're gonna lose the White House this fall, so Obama would be bearable to me.
On the other hand, the ONLY chance the Republicans have of winning back the White House is if they're going against Hilary. I think she would have no chance in hell of winning the general election.
NEW YORK - Democrat Hillary Clinton denied knowing Tony Rezko, an indicted Chicago businessman, on Friday after being told of a photograph that shows a smiling Clinton and her husband standing next to the man she called a "slum landlord" earlier this week.
"I don't know the man. I wouldn't know him if he walked in the door. I don't have a 17-year relationship with him," Clinton said, referring to her charge that Barack Obama, a rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, has a longstanding relationship with Rezko.
"There's a big difference between standing somewhere taking a picture with someone you don't know and haven't seen since," Clinton told NBC's TODAY show, "and having a relationship that the newspapers in Chicago have been exploring."
Clinton made a point of raising Obama's connection to Rezko during Monday's Democratic debate. In a heated exchange over who did or did not support Republican policies, Clinton said she had been challenging Republican ideas "when you (Obama) were practicing law and representing your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner-city Chicago."
