What is it that Obama did that makes him part and parcel of Blago's inept and arrogant corruption?
"A 76-page FBI affidavit said the 51-year-old Democrat was intercepted on court-authorized wiretaps over the last month conspiring to sell or trade the vacant Senate seat for personal benefits for himself and his wife, Patti."
Leave it to you to post an MSNBC link. Is anything on their site news???
HERE IS THE BOTTOM LINE - Obama just denied ever discussing the 'open' senate seat with the Ill. Governor in an intervue today. Unfortunately, Axelrod was quoted on many occurances saying that he (Blago) and Obama were 'talking' about who should take the seat.....
Good luck Obama - there's hope that you may be forced to resign before you're sworn in.....

Axelrod obviously just "misspoke" and has a little "memory problem" regarding the sequence of events. I'm sure he meant to say "Obama plans to talk with Blago in the future about this seat".

There was no immediate comment from the office of the president-elect because THERE IS NO OFFICE OF PRESIDENT ELECT.
There, I feel better. Thanks.
The way P-E Obama 'poses' with that 'look' really makes me ill.
I hope his ego isn't as big as all that, for my sakes if nothing else.
Ya know...I was wondering about that myself....
I can never remember in history EVER seeing the "President-elect" making speaches, recieving press, and having a podium with that kind of a sign on it....I guess this is something he made up.....
I agree...there IS NO OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT.....let the socialism begin....

Agreed, but let's assume there was such an office. Shouldn't the Electoral College at least meet and make it official before giving yourself this title? I believe this happens 12/13.

0bama's first act as President will be to pardon Blago. I doubt anything substantial will ever come of this.
Blagojevich has to stand trial, and then get convicted & sentenced before he can be pardoned. This should keep things interesting for a while.

Illinois Governor Rudy Blagojevich has been indicted for many offenses. While the press has focused on the attempt to sell Barack Obama's open Senate seat, there is a more important aspect of the indictment as relates to Obama's infrastructure plan.
Paragraphs 36-37 of the Criminal Complaint detail Blagojevich's extortion of campaign contributions through his control of the Chicago Planning Board, which issued Certificates of Need for medical facility construction. Blagojevich's unofficial "spokesman" for Planning Board matters was none other than Tony Rezko, whose wife worked a deal to help the Obamas purchase their house and who was a long-time Obama fundraiser.
Blagojevich was a strong proponent of Obama's infrastructure stimulus plan, and presented a wish list of his pet projects:
Already, Governor Rod Blagojevich has sent Obama's office a "wish list" detailing nearly 300 construction projects in Illinois that are ready to begin immediately.The list includes improvements to I-57 in Williamson, Jefferson, and Franklin counties. The governor estimates the projects would provide about 1,700 jobs. Also on the wish list is improving Amtrak service across Illinois, including new service to Rockford and the Quad Cities. It's estimated this project would create about 4,700 jobs.
In light of the wide-ranging scope of Blagojevich's extortion, is there any doubt that these construction projects would have aided Balgojevich in his corruption? With the power, through control of state agencies and boards, Governors will be the gate keepers of federal insfrastructure dollars. Corrupt governors will become more corrupt, and honest governors will be tempted to use this power for political purposes.
I have warnedtime and again that throwing hundreds of billions of dollars at public infrastructure projects on short notice under the threat of "use if or lose it" is a prescription for disaster. To the list of cost overruns, incompetence, and mob influence, add political extortion.
Appointing "Czars" is trendy these days. Since Governor Rudy is going to be out of a job soon, the now idle Obama campaign staff can mount a new charge with the remaining $30 million in campaign funds: Rudy for Infrastructure Czar!

BTW, Blago has gone by "Rod," "Rudy" and his real name "Milorod."

Maybe in your world, but we're talking about the world in which 0bama can do anything he wants. He could probably pardon him tomorrow and make it stick. Then they'd still have the trial, convict the bastard and it would all be for nothing because the PE determined the outcome before they started.

Maybe so, but when the indictments come in, it could change the entire landscape...
Yea right, just like the Senator from Alaska was convicted of a felony, and STILL almost won the election. Things really change in Congress.
