I wonder when the news media will ever completely investigate the Rezko scandal and Barack Obama's role in it.

To quote from ( Obama and his Rezko ties, by Tim Novak ). This story is also titled ( Barack Obama and his slumlord patron ). To quote from page 1, paragraph 8. "as Rezko's low-income housing empire was collapsing, leaving many African-American families in buildings riddled with problems - including squalid living conditions, vacant apartments, lack of heat, squatters and drug dealers." Here is a partial summary of the Rezko scandal.
Seventeen buildings - many beset with code violations, including lack of heat - ended up in foreclosure.
Six buildings are currently boarded up.
Hundreds of apartments are vacant, in need of major repairs.
Taxpayers have been stuck with millions in unpaid loans.
At least a dozen times the city of Chicago sued Rezmar for failure to heat buildings.

Read the story ( Barack Obama Favors Early Release of Sex Offenders From Prison, Posted February 12, 2008 by Christopher Davies ) at Milwaukee Indymedia.
Read the story ( PACs and lobbyists aided Obama's rise by Scott Helman ) at ( The Boston Globe ).
Read the story ( In Illinois, Obama dealt with lobbyists, by Scott Helman ) at ( The Boston Globe ). This is a story about how Barack Obama sold out to the health insurance industry and their lobbyists while ignoring the people he was elected to represent.
