“Blagojevich Meets with Obama to Address Budget Shortfall
Reported by: WMBD/WYZZ News Staff
Monday, Dec 1, 2008 @07:24am CST
WMBD/WYZZ - SPRINGFIELD Governor Rod Blagojevich is turning to the president elect for help in a billion dollar budget shortfall.
The governor will meet Monday and Tuesday Philadelphia with Barack Obama. Their discussion will focus on Illinois’ $2 billion deficit and how the Land of Lincoln will manage its 2009 fiscal year.
In November, Blagojevich announced a plan to manage the state’s deficit. Part of that plan requests more than $1 billion dollars in federal money over the next three years, in addition to short-term borrowing to help pay bills on time. Illinois is currently facing a potential $5 billion backlog of unpaid bills.”

He really has told the truth here...
"I was not aware of what was happening."
He'll be able to say that truthfully at the end of his presidency.
Barack Obama does not have a clue as to how to be president. He has no relevant experience and no understanding of the job.
Get ready for him to say over and over again.....
"It blindsided me..."
"Nobody told me about it...."
"How could I be expected to know that?...."
"It never came up...."
"How would I know how it works?....."

Great find! Wonder how long this one will last on the internet before the Obama brownshirts see to it that it is taken down and a retraction/clarification is issued?
PING!!

“I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not… uh… I was not aware of what was happening,” Obama said.
Great tagline.

Now if he was meeting on December 8 and 9, Obama certainly could not have met with him on December 9 'cause, it turns out, the "fibbies" had Blog under arrest.
So that means LAST WEEK.
Guess Obama told him to just appoint Lisa for old times sake ~
Which is what Blog was mad about and why he was raising the price.
What I wonder is when Warren Buffett gets booked.

He looks quite a bit like your typical Russian Maffia type. And, of course, he is ~ they’re mostly Serbo-Croatian too.

So, a week ago Obama spent two whole days with this guy?
Could it be that Obama told a lie?
This next four years is going to be a circus.
