Today Tony Rezko, the man who helped launch Senator Obama’s career and shared a multi-decade friendship, was indicted on 16 of 24 counts of corruption. Senator Obama’s response was “This isn’t the Tony Rezko I knew.” The conservative blogosphere made note of the similarity between Obama’s response to Rezko and his response to Rev. Wright.

It reminds me of his argument that Clinton’s judgement was not to be trusted because she was duped by George Bush and bad intelligence on Iraq.
