Who Built Sarah's Half-Million Dollar House? Another Palin Scandal On The Way?

Interesting connections between Palin campaign contributors, architects and contractors, and the Palin's half million dollar, two-story, 3,450 square-foot house that Todd Palin said he built with some "buddies" - right while Sarah's hockey/sports complex was being built right down the road...

    • Todd Palin stinks to high heaven, I don't want his secessionist alaskan ass anywhere near the white house.
      Hope it brings them both down,

    • Barack Obama DID NOT buy his house from Tony Rezko. Rezko sold the home to another couple in 1998, Obama bought the house in 2004.

      The public records show that Obama paid MARKET VALUE for the home and was the highest bidder according tot he people who sold it to him.

      Obama bought the lot next door tot he home from Tony Rezko. Once again for MARKET VALUE.

    • Thinknow- This is all they have left in a failing campaign is lies,stir some rednecks and klansmen up with rhetoric,and spin anything they can find to try and distract the voters with a bunch of crap instead of letting them think about the real issues.

    • About 'Rezko helped Obama get his house myth':

      from stopthesmears.com:

      Barack Obama bought his home the same way everyone buys a home, by making the best offer the sellers had. The details are that of a normal, boring real estate transaction by a young family buying the house they expect to raise children in. A couple named the Wondisford's had two properties on the market, a house and an adjacent lot. Barack and Michelle Obama made the best offer on the house, which had been on the market for 8 months. Before the purchase, Obama asked Rezko, a local real estate developer, and for some advice on the purchase. While there, Rezko noticed the adjacent lot and decided to buy it. Neither got a break on the price, as confirmed by the Wondisford’s. The Wondisford's requested to close on the same day to minimize their hassle. You can download the PDF where the Wondisford’s confirm all of this here: http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/acrobat/2008-03/36768343.pdf Later, Obama purchased a strip of the Rezko’s property to give his kids more room to play, and he paid more than double the assessed value to avoid any claims of impropriety. The Rezko’s later sold the lot to another couple who are building a house on it. And that’s it. The whole thing is remarkable only for its utter lack of any drama or scandal. This discredited attack is months old and just doesn’t have any validity whatsoever. We really need to end these distortions and smears if we’re ever going to get a government who actually does anything for us.

    • Umm, jawnybnsc?

      Wasn't the Obama and Rezko thing all over the news? Aren't the Republicans still bringing it up?

      So because there was an Obama and Rezko issue, we should just let Palin slide if she took kickbacks and had her house built in exchange for awarding contracts for the hockey arena?

    • wow - todd palin!

      working on the slopes in the oil fields, running his fishing business, professionally racing snow machines, taking care of 5 kids while sarah is working on government issues...

      and he found the time to build a two-story, 3,450 square foot home with his buddies - what a guy!

    • I smell a Stephens sort of stench coming from Wasilla. And just in time for the elections. Someone will talk, people riding by, delivery people and warehouse workers as well as bank tellers and even people overhearing lunchtime chatter. Tongues will wag and heads will roll. Yum yum yum. Palin probably had no idea how vulnerable she is.

    • Oh that is rich. And what about the Obama's house? How was that purchase financed? Oh . . . that's right . . . Tony Rezko. Who owned Obama's home from 1993 to 1998, because it wasn't Obama who was paying taxes on it at that time?

    • jawnybnsc:

      That's inaccurate information. When the Obama's purchased their home, the garden lot was a separate purchase and adjacent. I do real estate and get it, you apparently didn't get it and are spreading falsehoods.
      Obama was vetted and had something been wrong, it would certainly have turned up in the investigation and he would have hung.
