Obama is SO screwed!
Against Blagojevich or Fitzgerald? ;)
Otherwise known as Community Organizing!
There is a picture on Drudge right now on the right hand side..which I can’t copy the URL because too many characters to show up ...Obamanazi is aging fast.
I guess this is why Fitz dropped this now, rather than waiting until Obama took power.
Axelrod Backtracks Statement that Obama had Talked to Blagojevich about Senate Seat

STATEMENT FROM SENIOR ADVISOR DAVID AXELROD
I was mistaken when I told an interviewer last month that the President-elect has spoken directly to Governor Blagojevich about the Senate vacancy. They did not then or at any time discuss the subject.
Apparently Axelrod had talked to Fox News Chicago and said:
Axelrod said, I know hes talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them.
Interesting. Although, frankly, so what if he did? As long as there’s no quid pro quo, it’s no big deal. Of course Obama would be interested in who will replace him.

Tarred by his own words:
Axelrod: Obama has talked to Blago about replacement
He is almost right.
If Politician A chooses to help Politician B now, he may well get a favor in return at a later date.
But it is illegal to ask for payment in cash on the spot.
Blago was too low-class to understand how the game is played.
We were glad to hear of the new law. Every patronage job we gave out made at least two people mad at us, and we really didn't get much love from the guy who got the job.
I saw that pic,too -to me he’s got an “I’m screwed”look on his face,priceless,no?
It’s difficult to ignore his big, floppy ears in this photo.
how do you figure?
Seriously... who’s going to report his wrongdoings to the idiot masses? the MSM?
He ran on the word “change.”
caption Obama:
“Daaaammmn, am I the only Democrat politician from Illinois not in jail?”
This whole "I was mistaken" bit today does not pass the smell test.
Think about it - Axelrod was/is one of Obama's very closest aides, and he didn't say "I think" or "I assume" or "I expect"..... he said "I KNOW he's talked to the governor"
Axelrod is a careful, disciplined man. He does not say something like that unless he KNOWS what he says is true.
Ready to post it but Drenge started doing funny things on my computer....Hmmmm?
Sorry
