Living in Glass Houses

Now who is saying what about whom? Sure, when asked about this picture, Hillary would deny she knew Rezko. Why, Hillary and Bill have taken pictures with many people they do not know along Bills first campaign trail. So I have to ask myself, "When was this picture taken?" Think about this for a moment. We had the South Carolina debate with Hillary throwing mud left and right at Obama when she spoke of Rezko. During an NBC interview on Friday morning, Hillary was confronted about this picture where she and Bill had posed with Rezko. Her statement leaves me to question if she is saying the complete truth, or is there something hidden in her statement when she said, "...I wouldn't have known him if he walked in the door..."
Well, was the picture taken when Hillary and her husband were campaigning during his first run for president? Or was it taken after Bill was already president? We do know that when someone is president posing with people is not taken as lightly as before they become president. The presidential security people would of had a lot of background on the individual posing with the president and his family members. No matter where this picture was taken, the question is when. If Bill was already president, how could he and his wife not know the individual posing with them in the picture? Please take a good look at Hillary's hairdo in the picture with Rezko. Now look down at the other pictures and see what she looked like when she first became our First Lady?
Look familiar? By the hair style alone, with or without the headbands, we can see that Bill Clinton was already President. And as we all know the statement that she made when on NBC about not knowing Rezko was not completely true. Think of how hard it is to get a picture with any of our presidents and the first lady. There are top security people in government protecting the President and his family. There is always background checks on anyone before they are even allowed close to any of our presidents. There is also an arranged meeting preparing for the pose with instructions on what should or should not to be said. So, what would that make her statement about not knowing Rezko? Weighing-in all the different elements that go in to getting a pose with a president and the first lady I truly believe her statement would be classified a 'half truth'. And I just love it when -- half truths -- are made in politics, especially on live-TV. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, by one of America's most famous men in history, Benjamin Franklin: "A HALF TRUTH, IS A BIG LIE." By the way there is one thing I have to say about Hillary, she did look a lot prettier with long hair.
