Statement From Chairman Mckenna Regarding Obama's Friends Under Federal Scrutiny

Statement from Illinois Republican Party Chairman Andy McKenna regarding today's revelation that another of Barack Obama's friends is under federal scrutiny:

"While Senator Obama tours the nation promising to bring change to America, it is important to remind voters who don't know him well that he has done nothing to change Illinois.

"As his friends and associates come under more scrutiny by the federal government, we believe the same scrutiny should be given to Senator Obama's lack of a record of reform in Illinois and his inability to distance himself from the corruption that has crippled this state for far too long"
