Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled.

Obama met with Governor Rod Blagojevich earlier this week to discuss it.

Confirmation of the Sowers article which said on Nov. 5 that Blago and Obama would meet. Here, three days later, it says they did meet.

No, they never met, and Obama has managed to steer completely clear of this Blagojevich mess. Reuters said so.

That article obviously “mis-spoke”...

Go to the article at the link and read the final sentence/question in the one comment that was posted about the article. Hilarious!

Telling a lie when the truth would serve just as well. Good way to get in trouble. Also the sign of a pathology.

Heh, heh. It reads: "Is there a way we can influence the governor's decision?"

Gotta love the one reader's comment under the article:

I was in the audience at another time when Director of VA Duckworth visited Quincy and was quite impressed. I do think she would be a good choice for Obama's replacement in the US Senate.

Is there a way we can influence the governor's decision?

LOL

Barry’s caught in a lie. Somebody send this to Rush and Drudge.

Oops, you beat me to it!

in the language of liberal politics

mis-spoke = lied

but we common folk arn’t supposed to know that.

It all depends on what the meaning of "met" is.

Hope and change and hope and change and hope and deniability and hope and change and hope and subpoena and hope and change and hope and indictment and hope and change and hope and impeachment and...

"Barry’s caught in a lie."

OK everybody...on the count of "three"...look surprised...1-2-3.

Tammy Duckworth ran for congress and lost. She is a seriously wounded vet who turned against the war, against her Commander in Chief. She still lost her election.

Guess the One would like to see her in congress.

Can you move this to breaking news? It's a news story from mid November confirming that Obama met with Blago to discuss the open Senate seat.

Thanks!
