It is my understanding that he isn't talking about his dealings with Obama. Just the IL governor.

I found a couple of the replies below the article actually more interesting than the article:

Rezko was one of the first to support Obama in his bid for the State senate.
Obama has been wheeling and dealing with Rezko for close to 20 years.
Why do you think Rezko had his wife buy the house and yard with Obama? He was broke and had a number of lawsuit's he was fighting. This was to hide an asset from his creditors.
He had to pay back Obama for his help getting the crooked billionaire Nadhmi Auchi into this country.
Rezko was also involved in a number of crooked deals in Iraq and he also needed help getting his partner out of jail in Iraq.
The money used to buy Obama's yard came from Auchi."

Rezko is an influence peddler. He gets a campaign contribution to the Governor’s fund then the contributor either gets a state job or contracts with the State of Illinois. The governor’s wife is a real estate agent. She sells a piece of property for an excessive commission and a few weeks later those who bought the property get a State contract. It’s called Pay to Play in Illinois. Rezko helped Obama buy his Chicago Mansion which he could not afford as a new State Representative. Rezko also bought the property next door to Obama and then sold it to Obama for a loss. Why? To gain influence. Email Jones is the Governor’s point man in the State Senate and has blocked all Bills that came out of the House of Representatives that the Governor did not want passed. That includes a bill to impeach the Governor. Email Jones was also Obama’s political mentor in the Capital. Jones gave Obama a few popular Bills to pass that he knew nothing about. But Obama voted “present” about 100 times in his short tenure in the capital so bills that they did not wanted passed died. That’s why Obama has no record of doing anything while in the state legislature. The last week in October Obama has problem because Rezko is going to sentenced and there is great pressure from his people to get the hearing pushed back to after the election. If not they are begging the US Attorney in Chicago to make sure Obama’s name is not mentioned at the hearing and is under seal till after the election. Every one in Chicago knows this and we are at a loss why the rest of the county is unaware!"
