A hysterically funny Email making the rounds is called Chicago Rules and would make me laugh if I didnt want to cry first.
The guy on the left: Hes Santa Claus. And the guy on the right. . hes the Easter Bunny! Thats all you need to know introduces the Barack Obama quote denying any close contact with disgraced and soon to be jailed former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
According to the Email, Obama is alleged to have only acknowledged seeing the former governor from a distance in the stands at a Chicago Bears football game.
The Chicago Rules Email shows a Reuters photo of Mayor Richard Daley, Rod Blagojevich, and Barack Obama during a Chicago rally dated April 16, 2007.
Trying to get these pictures to reload was impossible, but I was able to locate a photo of the three men. Blago was the only man with his eyes open; all three men were smiling widely, with Mayor Daley on the right and now President Obama in the middle with his right arm slightly behind Blagos left arm.
The scenario suggests to me the three men were sharing a big laugh over some familiar information, but who knows; maybe they just ran into each other because someone pushed them.
Another photo I located shows Obama laughing comfortably with the convicted governor on August 17, 2005, at the Governors Day celebration at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield, Illinois.
Another photo refers to now Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel who was elected after Daley retired; their game of musical chairs puts his brother William Daley (who has moved back to Chicago) in the White House to assist as a chief presidential adviser, a job once held by Emanuel

it’s kinda hard to get excited about a story about a picture when you can’t see the picture, ya know?
Yeah, He only saw Blago once - from a distance - at a Bears game.
Just google photo of Blago, Obama and Daley....the photo mentioned is there in several takes.....
