``A former Chicago fundraiser for President Obama, Antoin "Tony" Rezko, was sentenced to ten and a half years in prison after a U.S. judge found him guilty of corruption and extortion... According to a Chicago Tribune report, Obama purchased a new home in the Kenwood district of Chicago, in 2005, for $1.65 million which was $300,000 below the asking price but represented the highest offer on the property. On the same day that Rezko's wife, Rita Rezko, bought the neighboring empty property from the same sellers for the full asking price. However, Obama denied a coordinated purchase deal, but acknowledged that he had discussed with Rezko his interest in buying the house.'' -- Other Obama "money men" (to use the term in a neuter sense) include Jon Corzine and Penny Pritzker. Look them up.
