POPSObama's Answers To Ties To Indicted Rezko Don't Pass The Smell Test What's on trial is the Illinois Combine. We pay for this bipartisan cooperation in higher taxes, "the Chicago Way". With Rezko's jury being selected, you might think Republicans would feel some excitement running down their legs, the way liberal pundits tingle with Obamamania, or the way teenage girls respond to photographs of Justin Timberlake. Instead the Republicans are subdued. As I've warned before, the Rezko trial isn't about Obama. It is about Rezko and some Democrats, like Gov. Rod "The Unreformer" Blagojevich. But it also involves Rezko and powerful Illinois Republicans with national reach.
