So Obama is shocked that his friend has been convicted?

If he’s this naive and trusting (and clueless) about his close associates, that they can fool him for years as to their true nature, why should we trust him to deal with foreign enemies?

And was he paying Rezko off to keep him quiet? Sixty-four grand is a lot of money, particularly when Michelle is complaining about having to pay off college loans. If he’s just a lousy businessman, who doesn’t know the value of money, is that a good resume for the chief executive of the country?
