Did Rezko find jobs for Obama pals?

More Tony Rezko headaches from Barack Obama: Did he recommend people through Rezko for state jobs with the administration of Governor Rod Blagojevich?

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

The question arises from a list of 39 people Rezko's lawyers said in a court filing he urged Blagojevich to give state jobs.

Among those on the list were two people who appear to have Obama links and a third who's now an Obama presidential campaign staffer.

But did the names come from Obama? His campaign staff's short answer: Don't know -- but it's possible.

"We do not know how decisions were made to fill specific state positions, and we have no records of any individual recommendations we were asked to make or made," says Obama spokesman Bill Burton "But we do know that Tony Rezko, among others, was helping to gather names for the positions coming open with a new administration, and, if it is established any names came through our office, we would have no reason to doubt it."

The Rezko reminders keep coming, even as the Obama campaign makes an issue (a legitimate one) over the failure of Hillary and Bill Clinton to release their income tax returns.

Peter Dagher in an earlier report was listed on a Rezko "clout list," works for the Obama presidential campaign.

On a personal note, blogging will be light today, as I will be in an all day meeting.
