JOSEPH CARI - 30-year friend of VP pick guilty in kickback scheme
No matter what help Barack Obama might get from Sen. Joseph Biden, his newly named vice presidential running mate won't give Obama much cover on the Tony Rezko front.
Biden has described himself as a 30-year friend of a key figure in the Rezko trial who's pleaded guilty to a federal extortion charge in Chicago and is awaiting sentencing.
Well just whe you think it can't get more interesting, IT DOES.
Well Obama-Biden have one thing in common, influence peddling felons!
Politics as usual!
An early pardon for Rezko?
I have to wonder what the vetting committee was thinking? That this wouldnt be news. Makes you wonder if Binden "passed" what tehy found out on the other potential VP picks?
I mean bad enough Rezko gets sentenced next month but this Biden tie just really doesnt help Obama at all!
I know that I am wrong but I still suspect that Bayh did not accept the invitation and Biden was the last hope.
I think that Caroline Kennedy could be better. However, an Ambassorship is more palatable.
I think I know why Bayh didnt get it. Biden was clearly the last choice. I am beginning to wonder if tehre will be a floor fight for VP. The first night of teh convention, clearly eth clinton people werent applauding except two times, For Kennedy's speech and when Michelle Obam mentioned Clintons name. There was a lot of tension in that room.
