Blagojevich on Monday ordered all state agencies to stop doing business with Bank of America to pressure the bank into using federal bailout money it received to help the laid-off workers.[/quote]

I thought the timing of this was very interesting as well

ala Spitzer

Not to say I think Blagojevich is innocent, neither was Spitzer.

I think that type of corruption is pretty common place on that level of politics, listen to how nonchalant he was. He probably ruffled somebody’s feathers. ala Cuban as well….

That little scene at the Chicago factory is going to become more and more common place in the very near future. That is a precedence “they” did not want set.

Actually Karl Rove was making it a point to say there was nothing there with Obama as well and when doesn’t that guy lie or manipulate?

[quote=felix]Another questionable Obama link.

I tried to warn folks about looking for a reformer from the cesspool of politics that is Illinois and in particular Chicago, my home town.

So now we have the questionable relationships; Obama/Rev Wright, Obama/Ayers, Obama/Rezko and now Obama/Blago.

None of those Fox-news contrived ‘relationships’ bother me nearly as much as McSame’s close relationship with Chimpy:

Could you imagine four more years of the same douchebag policies we’ve all had to suffer through over the last 8 years? *Shudder*

Breezy: Are you familiar with the old saw that “consistency is the bugbear of small minds”?

God forbid you intelligently comment on the topic at hand. Nope. Just throw out a “Chimpy” bon mot and call it good.

Reductio ad Hitler writ large, eh?

What Fitzgerald said has been mischaracterized by many in the media and most defenders of Obama.

All involved have been very measured in their words except perhaps Blago himself who at this point isn’t talking anymore.

Fitzgerald said he wouldn’t speak to whether the president-elect was aware of anything, but stressed that there are no allegations that he was aware of anything. That is not the same as as saying Obama or his staff are free and clear. Obama himself has only said he did not talk with Blago. That is not the same as saying his proxies did not have any contact with Blago on his behalf.

If some Blago and his staff start talking to the Feds this could get pretty ugly for Obama and his staff.
