More bad news for Obama: Rezko sentencing one week before Election Day

Barack Obama is having a bad week. Declining poll numbers, a new Bill Ayers scandal, and now this--his longtime friend and property neighbor (through his wife) Antoin "Tony" Rezko--will be sentenced on October 28. That's just one week before Election Day.

Originally the convicted political fixer was to be sentenced on September 3. But at the request of Rezko's attorneys, they asked for more time to prepare post-trial motions.

Presumably the Obama campaign was not consulted.
