In the interest of full disclosure, and because the Barack Obama team surely senses a full on offensive maneuver from team Hillary in the coming weeks, Obama sat down with the editorial boards of both the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times to clear up a few things, mainly his association with the indicted, shady businessman, Tony Rezko, and the "situation" surrounding his spiritual advisor, Rev. Wright, who got a little too angry-black-uncle-at-the-dinner-table during a sermon. Whatever Obama said, he convinced most of the people he was talking to that it was naivete and nothing more that drove his dealings with Rezko. And as for Wright, he's distancing himself and repudiating the comments he made, but would not to condemn the actual man or his church.

Now that Obama has cleared the air regarding Rezko, he's poised to launch an "ethics offensive" against Hillary Clinton. I'm sure the New York Times editorial board would love to have her.
