Um, maybe because they are married? and they share the same home, same living expenses, perhaps some shared bank accounts/investments, etc? Maybe because they don't split expenses as if they were just roommates? How does their childrens' school expenses get paid? By a blind trust? No, by, i am assuming, their shared assets, which have come, at least partially, by way of the big and evil Wal-Mart, as well as a hospital that has not lived up to its mission to treat the underfunded. I still think Obama is a better option than any of the republicans running, but for those who say 'this is so not a news story' and 'what does his wife have to do with him'? Would you really say the same if we were talking about Blagojevich or Giuliani or Romney, etc.? I didn't think so.

Oh geez. There is so _nothing_ there with Obama and Rezko. Even the press out for his blood have admitted that they have zero. It seems ridiculous to even refer to it as an actual news story.
