Obama refused to say how many fundraisers Rezko held for him or who attended.

"These requests, I think, can just go on forever," he said. "What we've just tried to do is respond to what's pertinent."

Then, Obama provided a brief synopsis of his 2005 real estate transaction with Rezko.

"That was a mistake because at that point there was already a cloud over Tony Rezko," he said. "I've been very open about what I have called a bone-headed move. On the other hand, there have been no allegations that I did anything wrong. There have been no allegations that I in any way betrayed the public trust. There have been no allegations that I did him favors…That is the extent of the story."

I might consider voting republican if this was the extent of their transgressions.

What a laugh.
