Daley and Obama have got to be soiling their underwear right now

Both are well insulated. In the case of Obama, he has risen to high to be taken down. The system now protects him.

“Could Obama be subpoenaed?”

The teflon Negro?

I doubt it. Too much white guilt.

Happy day! Of course he is a Democrat, aren’t they all in the Chicago area Dems? We always say Illinois is ruled by Chicago and we try to deny it but here in downstate Clay County, we had over 2,000 idiots who voted for Obama. The old guy and Sarah won our county but only by 1,000 votes. Some died in the wool Dems will never vote for a Republican, no matter what. We can only hope they go after Obama next but I won’t hold my breath for that to happen.

Can you comprehend how utterly demoralizing politics is in the great state of Illinois? Can’t even blame the Dems completely as the last gov. was a Republ. crook.

This is merely a well timed attempt by the Republicans to discredit Master Ruler Obama. Nothing to it and he will be exonerated and the feds will have to pay him $20,000,000,000 in compensation. That darn Bush!

Do I really need the </sarc>?

Pretty soon, the Trib won’t have enough money to pay an attorney to sue for “alleged” copyright violations.

"Wonder how long it will take Obama to fire him once he takes office."

In seconds or minutes? On the other hand Fitzgerald might be taking out problems for him.

....The stunning, early morning visit by authorities to the governor’s North Side home came amid revelations that federal investigators had recorded the governor with the cooperation of a longtime confidant and had begun to focus on the possibility that the process of choosing a Senate successor to President-elect Barack Obama could be tainted by pay-to-play politics.....

I hate to repeat this, but I am sure he put Obama’s Senate seat up for sale. His best friend just taped him. I am alos sure that Rezko is supposed to be sentenced soon and may have finally given some useful info.

Would the last honest politician leaving Illinois please bring the flag?

Oh, right...never mind.
