An attorney for convicted fundraiser Tony Rezko is listed as the owner and taxpayer for Barack Obama’s Chicago mansion, according to records obtained by WND.
William Miceli is a lawyer at the Chicago law firm Miner, Barnhill & Galland, which also formerly employed Obama.
The controversy began when a website called News and Commentary for Thinking People published a 48-page document that lists Miceli as the owner of the Obama home at 5046 S. Greenwood.
Miner, Barnhill & Galland was Obama’s employer when he did extensive legal work for Rezko, who awaits sentencing after he was convicted in June of fraud, money laundering and bribery-related counts.
Hat tip Real Debate.
Hmm. That’s pretty fishy alright. He hired lawyers from where he used to practice law himself.

One might ask themselves why George Bush’s new house in Dallas is not owned by the Bush’s but by a trust.
Gee… aint’ it great that the people in government know that if you REALLY want to get ‘ahead’ you can’t play the game “straight up” like all the plebe’s do… You hire accountants and tax attorneys who afford the elite the abilitiy to wander around the encumberances places on the rest of us.
Pathetic…
Keep voting for big government folks… Extend that gap between the haves and the ‘trying to have’s’ so that those who can afford lawyers and tax advisors will outpace the rest of us.

Perhaps trusting WorldNetDaily and those who look to it for news does not serve your credibility well, Owen.

So far, all WND has proven is that an attorney is serving as a ‘pay agent’ for Obama. The property was purchased using a trust (a bit unusual, but not unheard of) and it’s common for attorneys (or CPAs) to serve as the ‘front man’ for payments made from a trust fund.
Unless a lot more damning info emerges, this is another nothingburger, just like the “born in America” yappaflappa.

Posted by (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) on December 29, 2008 at 1957 hrsThis should be broadcast all over the U.S.! This is not at all confusing. It is a simple matter of the GOONS (whoever they all are and whatever their total agenda) have TAKEN OVER THE COUNTRY. And don’t doubt it for one minute. Why else would they give Obama an expensive, fancy house to live in so he could look presentable when he ran for President if they weren’t expecting something BIG in return?
Obama’s only problem now is staying alive long enough to completely deceive the American people so that his partners in crime will have time to totally clean out the U.S. Treasury and bring America down completely. Then he can escape to some other country where they have a hiding place for him.
The FBI should be on this like FLIES ON S**T!
Only the stupid Obamabots wouldn’t think there was anything important in this, but then look who they voted for. They’re idiots, and you can’t expect much from idiots—certainly not the ability to THINK.
