Rezko is the "Chicago slumlord" that Obama did a real-estate deal with once, Clinton brought him up in one of the debates. You might want to google that to get more in depth.
Farrakhan endorsed (it might not have been a formal endorsement, perhaps "came out in support of" fits better) Obama, Tim Russert asked Obama if he accepted Farrakhan's support. Obama's responce was “You know, I have been very clear in my denunciation of Minister Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic comments,” Obama said. “I think that they are unacceptable and reprehensible. I did not solicit this support. He expressed pride in an African-American who seems to be bringing the country together. I obviously can’t censor him, but it is not support that I sought. And we’re not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally, with Minister Farrakhan." Shortly after Clinton jumped in and the two wasted time debating whether it was better to reject his support or denounce his support, Obama ended it by saying he rejected and denounced Farrakhan's support.
Man I'm excited for tomorrow night, hopefully the Clintons see the writing on the wall after what should be a decent night for Obama supporters.
