Kahuna, your partisan spin is enough to make a top dizzy. You apparently didn't read the article thoroughly or you would have realized that it was a pro-Obama fluff piece. I'm sure they didn't anticipate in 2007 that this economic disaster could reveal an embarrassing connection to Obama and his law firm. Glad you appreciated my headline, it was right out of the NY Times school of headline writing. Thought you would appreciate that.

Obama represented Calvin Roberson in a 1994 lawsuit against Citibank, charging the bank systematically denied mortgages to African-American applicants and others from minority neighborhoods.

On Feb. 23, 1995, Obama billed 2 hours and 50 minutes for an appearance before Judge Ruben Castillo on behalf of his client, and also for reviewing some documents in advance of a deposition. That cost Citibank -- which ultimately had to pay the winning side's fees -- $467 at Obama's hourly rate of $165.

If you need more credible confirmation, perhaps you will feel more comfortable with the actual Civil Docket on the Roberson v. Citibank case I have attached hereto. Of course you could also spin that it is another Barack H. Obama or that, to use your parlance, the United States District Court Northern District of Illinois is "uninformed".

You seem to be saying he was only a little involved in the lawsuit against Citibank. That's like saying someone is only a little pregant. Nice spin job though.

I wasn't going to follow-up on this gem from the same article but, your post inspired me.

Obama was also recruited in law school by developer Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who back then had a reputation as "a star" of the urban renewal movement in Chicago. More recently, Rezko was indicted for allegedly using his clout with elected officials to amass taxpayer funds for self-enrichment.

Rezko was a client of the Miner firm, and Obama worked on some of his redevelopment projects. Miner says Obama put in six to seven hours of work on Rezko projects. He has not produced detailed records of Obama's billings on the cases. Gee...I wonder why he won't produce the billings? Then there is that annoying little house deal with Rezko.

I guess you would say he was only a little involved with Rezko. Hmm.....maybe this needs its own thread. So much ammunition...so little time.

Always a pleasure to spar with the great one....in a friendly way. Good cerebral exercise. Thanks for responding.

Did I mention Obama represented ACORN also?
