The guy in between Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton is apparently the "slum lord" Hillary Clinton accused Obama of being associated with during one of the debates a few days ago.

Isn't it ironic?

The fault, dear Hillary, is not in the slums but in YOUR pictures!!

Having the support of the Ark and NY mafia not enough, she had to meet the Chicago Slumlords too?

Researchers are discovering that Rezko may have contributed to Bill Clinton's re-election campaign, too.

Clinton's remark about Rezko is just one more piece of evidence that she is willing to do and say anything to get re-elected. Just think of the racial issues the Clintons brought up against Obama after black voters had been Clinton supporters for so long!!

I think Rezko himself might have released this photo to the press just to get Clinton back after she called him a slum lord during the national debates, especially if he had contributed thousands of dollars to Bill Clinton's campaign just ten years earlier.

Would you care to provide some proof?

Here is what one of the blogs says. It is never good to rely solely on a blog for information, but a photograph of Rezko sandwiched in between the Clintons raises an eyebrow.

"According to records, Rezko donated $15,000 to the Democratic National Committee in March 2000. At the time, the committee was helmed by longtime Clinton ally Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who endorsed Hillary Clinton on Wednesday. While it's possible that Rendell and the Clintons discussed neither the donation nor the donor, it's not likely."

How could Hillary Clinton have not known Rezko is she appeared in a photograph with him? The Clintons are well known for controlling information just like the Bushes do.

I think it is unlikely that the Clintons would have appeared with Rezko in this photograph if there hadn't been some money involved. The Clintons haven't been the types to stand with people in photographs without getting something in return for it.

You are aware that Presidents and first ladies take hundreds of thousands (literally) of publicity photos, right? This one, apparently, was at a fund raiser for Carole Mosely Braun

I can't find the article right now, but somewhere I read that Rezko contributed around $16,000 to the DNC during Bill Clinton's re-election campaign in 1996. If it is true, than Rezko was pretty much a donor to the Clinton campaign.

Yep, it's been discussed before. So, I'll say it again. I have a pic of me and Bill Clinton from his first presidential campaign but I highly doubt he'd remember. I've never been invited for dinner or received any perks.

And you do know that the DNC funds all sorts of election bids, right? That's a pretty low sum and loose connection to the Clintons, particularly since he donated a LOT of money directly to Obama.
