I have been following all the threads on Zer0's dirty playground in Chitown - I ran across the Hill's Blog reporting Zer0 canceled a scheduled meeting with the FBI after the story broke, but that is the only place I have seen it referenced.

Does anyone have any insight into why Zer0 would have a meeting with the FBI in the Chicago field office?

Does Empty-Suit get regular briefings due to his transition office being located in Chicago? Were the G-men going to brief him on the arrest? Are the Feds and 0bomination going to come back and say Zer0 was working with them to clean up the corruption in Illinois?

I do find it interesting that the reported uses the words The in the following excerpt...to travel this morning to the Chicago FBI briefing...It almost sounds like a regularly scheduled event. Maybe I am reading too much into that.

This "CHANGE" is looking more and more like "Back to the Future".

Maybe he thought it was a sting.

Making up your own title isn't allowed. The real one is "Obama Shifts Schedule Following Gov's Arrest".

Q. Why did it take over 12 hours for Ted Kennedy to report Mary Jo's death to the police?
A. Did you ever try to dress a nude body under water?

Q. Why did Barry back out of his meeting with the G-Men?
A. No reason at all. It was just a remarkable coincidence.

Did Obama cancel or did the FBI cancel the briefing?

A brief google search with the words "Obama FBI briefing pulled up these sources. It does seem as if these were routine meetings.

My hunch would be that, knowing of the arrest of Blago, meetings with his staff or lawyer took precedent over the security briefings. I don’t think the FBI briefings that day pertained to the Blago arrest.

Kinda smells like a ‘fix’ was in or in the works doesn’t it?

[Eye of Unk]

Obama knew the FBI was wearing these glasses.

a “POOL SPRAY?”

He’s been going to the federal building in downtown Chicago for a while now for his national security briefings, which reportedly are held in the FBI office, presumably because it’s a secure facility.

Nice job, well done.

It looks more and more like Zero is in this up to his eyeballs.

By the way, as chief law enforcement officer in the land, and the biggest cheese in the Justice Department (ie., Patrick Fitzgerald’s boss) Bush should have full and complete access to every tape recording and every single piece of evidence in this investigation. Everything.

I wonder whats on that 5th CD?

He needed more time for he and his advisors to get their stories straight?

So I'm guessing that a "pool spray" is a brief Q&A with the press pool, where they ask questions they know Obama won't answer, and Obama gives answers that aren't related to any asked questions?

I’m sure the O received advance warning of the upcoming arrest from the FBI.

“please excuse me if I prove myself an idiot from time to time”.
NO more, and most often less than most here.

I’m hoping to beat hope that this ensnares obamma lamma in some way.

A “pool spray” is the decontamination of reporters in advance of a hosing of bullshit.
