“I have no doubt that Obama and Rahm knew what BLogo wanted and they were ok with that.”

If so, why did Blago go ballistic that BO wasn’t playing ball?

Perhaps Blago realize he was being challenged at that point and he just didn’t like it. Reminds me of mafia wars.

Was it that BHO wasn't "playing ball" or that he stopped taking Blago's calls on the matter? BHO initially wanted Valery Jarrett for the seat, but she didn't want it & eventually took a job as a whitehouse advisor. It could be that BHO had no preferred candidate after that, or he was maintaining "radio silence" while he weighed some other candidates.

Personally, I think the Secret Service got wind of the wire taps & warned the President-elect to sever communications.

I've read some of the transcripts. One of the advisors told Blago he'd have to "suck it up" for a couple of years, so as not to appear to be an obvious quid pro quo.
