Is Obama telling a lie when he says he never did any favors for Tony Rezko?
Obama’s letters for Rezko
NOT A FAVOR? | As a state senator, he went to bat for now-indicted developer’s deal
June 13, 2007

As a state senator, Barack Obama wrote letters to city and state officials supporting his political patron Tony Rezko’s successful bid to get more than million from taxpayers to build apartments for senior citizens.
The deal included 5,000 in development fees for Rezko and his partner, Allison S. Davis, Obama’s former boss, according to records from the project, which was four blocks outside Obama’s state Senate district.
According to Obama, Rezko did not ask him to write the letters, he wrote them so the development would be built. What do you believe?

in the same way as he lied on having not heard any racist sermons of pastor Wright, same way as he lied on the non-existing Life magazine in his book "Dreams…", lies on lobbyists and PACs, etc.
