CHICAGO–White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) tells the Chicago Sun-Times in an exclusive interview Friday that Tony Rezko–on trial for corruption charges– is still a friend: “with the caveat if it turns out the allegations are true, then hes not who I thought he was, and Id be very disappointed with that.
“I would say I was shocked as a lot of people in Chicago were shocked to lean the difficult financial straits he was in because no one suspected that at the time.”
