There is a third alternative (none / 0) (#53)

Obama is a loyal friend.  He realizes that their failures are a liability so he has to distance himself from them but still wants to offer moral support.  Voters would have to take the chance that his friends have not unduly influenced his actions or his attitudes.  As democrats, we have to consider how this all will play with the electorate at large.

while Rezko is being tried on felony charges, Obama may be criticized for being a fair weather friend.  So, you make a good point.

There is also the cynical view (5.00 / 1) (#85)

that Obama may not want to antagonize Rezko.  All of this just screams out inexperienced to me.  McCain will be pushing this line out hard in the fall if Obama is the nominee.
