Rezko edits

On November 1, 2006 the Chicago Tribune reported that on the same day that Obama's home in a South Side neighborhood of Chicago was purchased, an adjoining vacant lot was bought by the wife of Antoin Rezko, an Illinois businessman currently facing federal charges of attempted extortion, money laundering, and fraud. Obama later bought a 10-foot-wide strip of lawn from Rezko.[6] Two days after the report, the same newspaper ran an editorial calling on Obama to explain why he would "allow himself any connection" to a developer who "notoriously attaches himself to political figures, often parlaying friendships into business dealings that have attracted official suspicions for several years."[7] The following day the Tribune reported Obama's statement that it was a mistake to have engaged "in this or any other personal business dealing that would allow [Rezko], or anyone else, to believe that he had done me a favor. For that reason, I consider this a mistake on my part and I regret it."[8]

The Obamas bought their US$1.65 million home in 2005.[9]
