Sweet catch by Tapper, showing why he got that promotion.
Obama today…
“I had no contact with the governor or his office and so I was not aware of what was happening, ” Obama told reporters today in Chicago. “It’s a sad day for Illinois. Beyond that, I don’t think it’s appropriate to comment.”
…versus Axelrod on November 23, as seen below.
Be sure to read Tapper’s post, as he has plenty more on The One’s long history as a friend of — and advisor to — Blago. Axelrod himself begged off Blagojevich’s first gubernatorial campaign because “I was concerned about whether he was ready for … governing.” Not so Obama and Emanuel; they both served as advisors, and they and Blago went on endorsing each other to the bitter end.
Watch the VIDEO
Update: Awesome. Let’s just drag this out as long as possible. Either we get the spectacle of the Illinois legislature impeaching him or we get the spectacle of Blago appointing The One’s successor while in jail. And based on the charges, he’s just stupid/nutty enough to do it.
“He didn’t do anything wrong,” attorney Sheldon Sorosky told reporters after Blagojevich was arraigned. “A lot of this is just politics.” Blagojevich should be in the office Wednesday, Sorosky added.
So, reporters asked, he does not intend to resign? “Not that I know of, no,” said Sorosky, who added that the governor was “surprised” by the day’s events.
Can’t. What does it say?
This upcoming president may set the record for having a special prosecutor investigating him, even before his inauguration.

Axelrod says, “I know he’s talked with the Governor.”
Can’t get any plainer than that.
Pre - I.M.P.E.A.C.H. the lying maggot...
It says Obama HAS spoken to Blago about the senate seat.
Obama just told a press conference not long ago he has not. I know it is a shock LOL but Obama is lying. The question is will he throw his entire cabinet/team under the bus now?
All must have seemed like a “ray of sunshine” for Blago after being tipped off by Team Obama that he was being recorded and reassured he’d have nothing to worry about come January.
David Axelrod, meet the BUS.
A.G. Gonzales was Innocent, Blagojavich is Guilty.
If Scooter Libby is Guilty, so is Rod.
If Bush Lied, So did Obama and Rezco.
We ain’t buying what Blagojavich is Selling.
Somebody is a lying sack of monkey nutz..........
“This isn't the Axelrod I know”...he claims. “We really aren't that close, he was just another campaign worker and I'm grateful for his service.”
“...We ain’t buying what Blagojavich is Selling.”
No do we “smell” what Blagojavich is cooking!
God how I wish something would come out of this that would blow up in Obama’s face.
Hey, I can dream, can’t I?
Thanks very much!
zer0 already caught in a lie?
I’m sure the MSM will report this tonight.
Karma is a m**********r.
MSM: And a fringe group on the right, who are also contesting Odumbo’s citizenship, are now claiming that either he or David Axelrod lied about not contacting the governor about the Illinois senate seat...
Oh my , my, my...
Making Tricky Dick and his plumbers look good...
