Blago-gate

[felix]

[quote=afx114]Obviously any Governor and Senator from the same state will have contact with each other, but trying to pin this scandal on Obama is tenuous. It’s pretty clear to anyone who has read the transcripts that Blago hated “motherfucker” Obama and was ready to go to war with him.

You couldn’t ask for a better script.. this shit is GOLDEN.[/quote]

The problem for Obama is that Obama and Blago had a very close link in the person of Rezko. He was Obama’s next door neighbor!

I don’t think this will be swept under the rug again by the media.

Felix: The WSJ is reporting that Blago owes $500k to his law firm, Winston & Strawn, for legal representation during the criminal investigation and that they have stopped representing him as a result.

Blago’s financial “hardships” were repeatedly referenced in the criminal complaint, and these hardships were one of the reasons he was attempting to sell the Senator’s seat.

It will be interesting to see what he does next. He is under tremendous pressure to resign, the Illinois AG is now threatening to intervene and there are also possible additional criminal complaints being hinted at.

Does Blago roll on Obama? The link to Obama is not “tenuous”. It exists, and the David Axelrod remarks of 23Nov are going to assume a great deal more significance in the coming weeks, especially as the heat builds on Gov. Rod.

I find it a little curious how insistent the media is in stating Obama has absolutely no involvement with this whatsoever pointing out that the DA has gone out of his way to make this clear.

It’s a little too insistent IMO, and don’t forget Obama is the guy who had his opponents removed from the ballot in the 1996 election race for a Senate seat.
