Something tells me that a lot of American fools will get burned by Obama.

[SMCC1]

Obama’s a HERO!!

[AliVeritas]

BTW, that’s the ethics bill he kept claiming he passed when in Chicago... while on the campaign trail.

I trust you’ve read Operation Board Games?

I doubt Blago has anything useful on Obama but if he does, I hope he spills his guts before he goes to jail.

"Something tells me that a lot of American fools will get burned by Obama."

And they still won't figure it out when they do.

"In a sequence of events that neatly captures the contradictions of Barack Obama’s rise through Illinois politics, a phone call he made three months ago to urge passage of a state ethics bill indirectly contributed to the downfall of a fellow Democrat he twice supported, Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich. "

Dear Governor Blagojevich,

Sorry to hear you're receiving some negative feedback for some of your recent decisions.

I sincerely hope that you won't let recent rumors about me visiting your home while you were out of town, or my recent conversations with Mr. Jones, have any influence on information you may, or may not, give the FBI, or the Grand Jury, during their investigation of this matter and those who are involved.

I'm sure that before you're convicted and impeached you will see your way clear to appoint my choice to my vacant senate seat. I'd like to remind you that after I take office on January 20th, 2009, I will then have the power of "pardons".

Thanks for your help, I know I can count on your discretion.

Sincerely,
Office of the President Elect

I don’t see what the connection is between whatever Obama did and what the FBI and federal prosecutors did. This was a state law, anyway.

Can anyone inform me, or has the NYT gone that delusional?

[Does so]

"...a phone call he made three months ago to urge passage of a state ethics bill indirectly contributed to the downfall of a fellow Democrat he twice supported, Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich..."

The New York Times knows of "a phone call"?

[SolidWood]

Mike McIntern-me and Jeff Celebral-Hemorrhage try to spin Obama into a hero? The NYT isn't fit to wipe my dog's rear.

[smokingfrog]

Trying to clean-up with some cash and goodies before the new ethics law kicks in, but got caught raiding the cookie jar.

The ole corrupt Gov. will turn the tables on Obama and Rham Emanuel. Take that to the bank. Any high ranking IL politician, i.e., Emanuel, Obama and others in Congress now had better hope ole Gov. and chief of staff have bad memories and/or little dirt to spill on them. If I was a betting man, I would say their memories will be crystal clear, they will have a dust buster full of dirt and they will squeal like Ned Beatty did in deliverance to lessen their criminal sentences.

Are we to believe that the chosen one walks out of the corrupt Chicago machine untouched by it, clean as the driven snow? Some might believe it but the chosen one is definitely not who he claims to be.

And the AP buried Rezko's name in the 18th paragraph. Pity they're not as clever as the NYeT, then again, they'll be around a lot longer...

[Mr Ramsbotham]

You know, if Blagojevich could control the Tribune, why can’t Obama control the New York Times?

[freekitty]

So true. Don’t you just love the crap they want you to buy? Obambi be a super hero.

[rlmorel]

Obama: What happen?
Blagojevich: Somebody set up us the audit.
Clerk: We get summons.
Obama: What!
Clerk: Computer screen turn on.
Blagojevich: It’s you!!
IRS: How are you gentlemen!!
IRS: All your records are belong to us.

“Later, he said the Senate seat was a “valuable thing — you just don’t give it away for nothing.”

So, this implies: What did he get to put Obama in the Senate?

[Shady]

I voted FOR the Money BEFORE I voted against it.
What prime grade A priceless BS.

[tobyhill]

Obama was a US Senator, not a state legislator. We have at least 4 years of the MSM wiping Obama’s a** for him.

[kittymyrib]

As usual, BO was happy to throw a confederate under the bus because he had no more use for Blago. And the ethics bill that “sought to curb the influence of money in politics” in the state of Illinois is a total joke. BO banked $700,000,000 in his campaign. I’m sure that was all untainted money with no strings attached.
The crazy, broke NYT must think we are as brain-washed as their editorial staff is.
Hopefully, Blago will sing like a bird before his trial, and that his family will be assured protection. In Democrat politics, that’s always a must.

Two friends enjoying a tall tale about an unknown leftist rising to the presidency of the United Nations.

(Well, after all, Billy Goat Clinton as his winsome sow of a frau proved that any leftist scum can crawl up the steps of the White House. He did accomplish one first, however. He masturbated in the oval orifice washroom.)
