Script of "Housing Problem" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Barack Obama knows a lot about housing problems.

One of his "biggest fundraisers" helped him buy his million-dollar mansion, purchasing part of the property he couldn't afford.

(Text on screen: Chicago Sun-Times, 6/18/07)

From Obama, Rezko got "political favors," including "14 million from taxpayers."

Now, he's a convicted felon, facing jail. That's a housing problem.
