Barack politically raised in corruption?

Via Rezko Watch:

If he becomes the nominee, the web of corruption leading to Obama's rise to power that this investigative journalist was able to untangle in less than three weeks, will be front page news right up until election day, handing the Republicans their only chance in hell of winning the White House.

Instead of the leaders of the Democratic party doing their homework, a small group of investigative reporters in Chicago will be credited with exposing the corrupt backbone of Obama political career and the mainstream media need only follow their lead if the Democrats hold him out to be a viable candidate.

Democrats have reason to be worried. This is what Obama's political career looks like at first blush, featuring a meteoric rise in the midst of a region with a marked history of political corruption.

Is it possible for Obama to be squeaky clean coming up in Chicago politics? Sure, it's possible. But if a guy really is squeaky clean you expect him to rise in that type of political environment on a promise of cleaning up corruption--like Bobby Jindal or Elliot Spitzer (oops on the latter).
