The McCain campaign is beyond desperate, at this point, and as you might expect, the emails are full of things McCain supporters would like us to know. I had one of those emails cross my inbox yesterday morning...and I thought to myself: “Self...since the author of this email asked me to look up her facts, maybe I should.” So I did. Next thing I knew, I realized I was looking at a giant load of hooey. Follow along, and I’ll show you what I mean. There’s a lot of talk about Obama and Tony Rezko in this email. That Rezko made some sort of special deal when Obama purchased his home. Here’s Obama’s side of the story:
Barack Obama bought his home the same way everyone buys a home, by making the best offer the sellers had. The details are that of a normal, boring real estate transaction by a young family buying the house they expect to raise children in. A couple named the Wondisford's had two properties on the market, a house and an adjacent lot. Barack and Michelle Obama made the best offer on the house, which had been on the market for 8 months. Before the purchase, Obama asked Rezko, a local real estate developer, and for some advice on the purchase. While there, Rezko noticed the adjacent lot and decided to buy it.
