Before he leaves office, Bush should pardon Obama for any potential crimes regarding the Blagojevich matter.

Obama: “I had no contact with the governor or his office, and so I was not aware of what was happening”.
But Obama forgot about the tape of Alxelrod on TV saying he knew Obama was talking with the Governor about possible choices for his open Senate seat. Sean played the tape today, so Obama might have to say it really wasn’t the Governor he knew and talked with. :)

Is there a youtube of that yet?
This is really exciting for many of us Illinois residents. Chicago ruins the rest of the state.

Obama may yet fail to qualify as President before January 20, 2009.

Obama is screwed.No, we are.
Let the MSM catch their breath, they'll cover for him as soon as the Obama war rooms give them their talking points. (Remember how it took them a day or two to figure out how to attack Gov. Palin?)

Is there a bus big enough for all of the people Obama is going to throw under regarding this matter?

To: SmithL
Well, I've actually got to hand it to him. Past Democratic Presidents were lazy enough to wait until in office before embroiling themselves and their administrations in scandal.
No such slackers on the Obama team.

Going to be tough, they go way back.
"According to Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., Mr. Obama's incoming White House chief of staff, Emanuel, then-state senator Obama, a third Blagojevich aide, and Blagojevich's campaign co-chair, David Wilhelm, were the top strategists of Blagojevich's 2002 gubernatorial victory. Emanuel told the New Yorker earlier this year that he and Obama "participated in a small group that met weekly when Rod was running for governor. We basically laid out the general election, Barack and I and these two."

Though Barack Obama isn't accused of anything... The lead sentence for any story about a Republican would NEVER read like this.
To: randomhero97
Just saw the tape on another thread. Sean broke it today, on his radio program. :)
