(CNSNews.com) - A photograph of a smiling Bill and Hillary Clinton standing beside Tony Rezko surfaced on the Internet as well as on network and cable television Friday morning. NBC's "Today" show was the first to ask Sen. Clinton about photo.
In a Democratic debate last week, Sen. Clinton blasted Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for doing legal work for Rezko -- "your contributor...in his slum landlord business in inner-city Chicago."
Rezko has contributed to Obama's campaign, which later sent about $84,000 of Rezko's tainted donations to charity. The disgraced real estate developer is scheduled to go on trial on public corruption and fraud charges Feb. 25.
Asked about the photo on NBC's "Today" show Friday, Sen. Clinton said she doesn't know Rezko -- "I wouldn't know him if he walked in the door."
Clinton said she did not remember meeting Rezko, either. "You know, I probably have taken hundreds of thousands of pictures," Clinton told Matt Lauer.
It's not clear where the Clintons were photographed with Tony Rezko, but the photo appears to have been taken during Bill Clinton's presidency.
On the "Today" show, Sen. Clinton also tried to clarify that she was "defending" herself when she made the "slum landlord" comment to Obama last week.
She accused Obama of making a "direct attack" on her at the debate. "I tried not to attack first, but I have to defend myself and I do have to counterpunch," Clinton explained. She also said she does not have a "17-year-relationship" with Rezko -- implying that Obama does.
The remark that prompted Hillary to "counter-punch" last week came when Obama accused Clinton of twisting his words on "Republican ideas." Obama said he did not endorse Republican ideas -- and he said his record reflected that: "While I was working on those streets, watching those folks see their jobs shift overseas, you were a corporate lawyer sitting on the board at Wal-Mart," Obama said.
I vote for Hillary.. Sorry! Shes great ! Obama is good too.. nothing with "Muslim"
Everybody have MANY MANY different of religions.

I just have a talk with my parents about the voting for president, and my parents told me about the debate last night between the presidents, and honestly..... Hilary scare me... I don't want more taxes...
Please explain this tax cut that was for rich people only. When was that, and how did it work?Not really, taxes are seems high so enough, such as taxes on payroll when Bush is in office but he does give a tax cut to rich people, that's not fair.
Exactly how would she do that? What's the exact plan?When Hillary in office then she wouldn't give a tax cut to rich people, just want be fair with low and middle income, even she would probably give less taxes to low or middle income. I cannot trust on all presidents about taxes, if they said would cut it but nothing is happen to me.

Also, what about Bush's proposal for a tax "rebate" that goes to everyone, including people who don't even pay taxes. That's a tax break for low and middle income people, right?

Here's the tax rebate that Bush has proposed:I got info from my friend about tax cut for rich people, plus I don't believe about Bush would proposal about tax rebate or so....

Congressional leaders have reached a deal with the White house on a bipartisan economic stimulus package that is expected to move swiftly through Congress and give most tax filers rebates of $600 to $1,200.
WHAT'S IN
— Tax rebates: Checks of at least $300 for almost everyone earning a paycheck, including low-income earners who make too little to pay income taxes, so long as they earned at least $3,000 in 2007. Families with children would receive an additional $300 per child, while those paying income taxes could receive higher rebates. The full rebate would be limited to individuals earning $75,000 or less and couples with incomes of $150,000 or less, but a partial rebate would go to individuals earning up to $87,000 and couples earning up to $174,000. The caps are higher for people with children.
