I don't get the feeling that the Obama's are gonna be staying in this house after the campaign is over... a move is probably coming.
What caught Obama was Rezko's indictment.
Obviously, his intention was to keep using the Rezko land until such time as he could afford to buy the property back from Rezko. At that point, it would have been a shady deal, but it would have been ancient history and, after all, this is Chicago politics.
Rezko's indictment forced Obama's hand.
I wonder when the fence went up between the properties?
ABO... Anybody but Obama. I LIKE the democratic party.
It's easy to Google for the dates, but Obama/Rezko bought the home in 2005 after Obama became a Senator. The fence (aka "window dressing") went up in 2006 when Obama started putting together his Presidential plans.
so the fence didn't go up until the next year. And I am guessing that there is a gate in the fence for people to get to the other property to mow the lawn etc...
Correct. The only access to the Rezko part of the property is a gate in the fence from the Obama part of the property.
Right. Once you see the photos and the fact that Obama's driveway was on Rezko's land, it's clear that the charade of "adjacent properties" would never fly. Obama had to do the second transaction (buying a strip of Rezko's land) to get his driveway back on his land and create at least "plausible deniability" of a sweetheart deal with an indicted "fixer".
Can anyone isolate that photo of the fence and driveway from the video?
