Photo Links Smiling Clintons to 'Slum Landlord' Tony Rezko

It is said that all is fair in love, war and politics....and on occasion what's fair in politics comes back to haunt you.

Hillary Clinton found this out following a well scripted and well played slam at her chief rival, Barrack Obama, during the most recent Democratic debate. Clinton accused Obama of maintaining a 17 year relationship with the notorious Chicago slum landlord, Tony Rezko. Within 24 hours of Clinton maling the accusation a photograph of a smiling President and Mrs (Hillary) Clinton and Rezko appeared on the Drudge Report website.

At this point in time no one knows the extent of the Clinton-Rezko relationship or just what Rezko may have done to warrant an invitation to the Whitehouse and an opportunity to be photographed with a smiling Bill and Hillary Clinton.

No one knows....except Rezko and possibly, the Clintons. Over the course of eight years in the Whitehouse it is reasonable to believe that the Clintons do not recall every visitor, every doner, every political supporter with whom they met and posed for photographs. As Senator Clinton said on her appearance on the TODAY Show, "I don't know the man. I wouldn't know him if he walked in the door. I don't have a 17-year relationship with him," to which she added, "You know, I probably have taken hundreds of thousands of pictures."

The problem for Senator Clinton may be that while she may not remember or even know Rezko the chances are very good that for someone like Rezko to be invited to the Whitehouse and be photographed with the First Couple of the land he must have made some notable contribution to the Clinton's success and/or election.

As reported by FOX News the Clinton campaign fearing that link went on the offensive: "Tony Rezko has never contributed a dime to Hilary or Bill Clinton. They have no relationship with Tony Rezko," Clinton spokesman Phil singer said.
