Thats right! Obama, Barack Obama,.... Superman, Our Next President, The 2nd Black President, etc etc etc is human too. Who would've thunk it. The way this man has been built up over the past few months one would think he was the second coming.
He is now finding himself having to explain a land deal done here quietly in Chicago that was executed with a now accused and charged crooked fundraiser to pocket a little bit of the green stuff that politicians crave and most everyonne else seem to enjoy and need so much as well.
Lets see how the (for the most part) adoring media helps him squirm out of this little embarrassment and glitch in the unchinkable armor of Mr. "All World".

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Politics :: Obama on Rezko deal: It was a mistake: "U.S. Sen. Barack Obama expressed regret late Friday for his 2005 land purchase from now-indicted political fundraiser Antoin 'Tony' Rezko in a deal that enlarged the senator's yard.
'I consider this a mistake on my part and I regret it,' Obama told the Chicago Sun-Times in an exclusive and revealing question-and-answer exchange about the transaction.
In June 2005, Obama and Rezko purchased adjoining parcels in Kenwood. The state's junior senator paid $1.65 million for a Georgian revival mansion, while Rezko paid $625,000 for the adjacent, undeveloped lot. Both closed on their properties on the same day.
Last January, aiming to increase the size of his sideyard, Obama paid Rezko $104,500 for a strip of his land." The transaction occurred at a time when it was widely known Tony Rezko was under investigation by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and as other Illinois politicians befriended by Rezko distanced themselves from him.In the Sun-Times interview, Obama acknowledged approaching Rezko about the two properties being up for sale and that Rezko developed an immediate interest. Obama did not explain why he reached out to Rezko given the developer's growing problems.
