“Obama hasn’t learned that if you lie, you need to remember all your lies or you will not keep things straight and trip yourself up. If you tell the truth, you only need to remember the truth.”

So true! And I know the truth always comes out, even though sometimes it takes a while. A friend sent me this, and I love what it says:
VERTAS NUMQUAM PERIT, VERITAS ODIT MORAS, VERITAS VINCIT.
TRUTH NEVER PERISHES, TRUTH HATES DELAY, TRUTH CONQUERS.

.....the Obama admin shows great potential to raise the bar on corruption to heretofore unheard of heights.....

Betcha the feds got his COS on tape----Rahm's a former Clinton lowlife and a Cong'man (gag).

Its going to get worse before it gets better. Maybe Obama can pardon him on Jan. 21 (this would doom any chance for a re-election). Too Funny. Maybe the sheep will learn a lesson.

O never seems to be aware of what is happening right under his nose.

Is it possible that the hurried indictment of the Governor and his cronies is to clear the way for another indictment in the next week or so?

Too late for that.
His “transition team” has been back-peddling on comments and interviews for the past two years.

This is just beginning, and Rod will roll-over. When he does, there will be fall-out around Obama. I don’t think Obama will fall, but I don’t think Biden is going to sit still when he is one Nixonian act away from the Presidency.

The best part? O lost any goodwill he had with moderates going into the job, and he and the dems lost any honeymoon to force through an agenda to a blind electorate.

He knows it, too.

The Office of the President Elect, through an anonymous source, has said that “Ax[elrod] misspoke.” Didn’t take long. There’s a thread up about it, don’t have the link right now.

“The Office of the President Elect, through an anonymous source, has said that “Ax[elrod] misspoke.” Didn’t take long. There’s a thread up about it, don’t have the link right now.”

Yes, I saw that too. As other Freepers have noted, Obama is quick to respond with the “misspoke”, “you took words out of context”, “I didn’t know him” “just a neighbor”, “he’s not the Gov. I knew” and on and on. :)

The rest of the wiretaps Fritzgerald has are going to be interesting. Finding out who Senate picks 1,2,3,4,5 are will be known in time I’m sure. Think maybe Jesse was trying to get a number!

I guess Rahm, too. Rahm is Obama’s closest confidant, and a big Chicago playa—has been for some time. And Rahm is as dirty as they come.

I just heard speculation on WLS in Chicago that #5 may be Jesse Jackson Jr. —the one Blago thought might come across with something. I think they said he was scheduled to be a guest on a program tomorrow and has canceled....

Biggest mystery since “Client #9”

Appropriate that Fitzgerald in place to serve initial volley. As in case vs Libby et al, and now with Blagojevich, Fitzgerald is a good man who does exactly what he is paid to do and he does this very well.

Come the eve of Jan 19 the caretakers at the White House should cover everything with plastic. Jefferson's (Thomas, not William) head would spin if he knew the WH is soon to be occupied by these despicable grifters.
On Jan 20 the White House, in all its noble history and splendor, will be relegated to a carnival side show.
