Fox news, other news channel, presser coming up.
Wiki is owned by liberals and subject to daily revision. There are marching marxist around the world who are trying to dominate web content (voting up/down polls, news items on Yahoo, politicizing all discussion on IMDB, music forums, etc.).
Some people have other things to do than spend 22 hours a day pushing back against liberals in college. Caption This threads may be gallows humor, making light of grim situations, but at least it shows contempt for the liberal status quo.
Note too that the transcripts never include the ums and uhs and looks.
Thanks so much! I will check out your site today too!
I’m with you on thinking Obama and staff may have avoided Blago entirely. They knew he was already under investigation, and probably guessed (at the least) that wiretaps and other means of eavesdropping and surveillance were in place.
Another point is that Blago’s intention was to plant stories that “leaked” false information about the potential candidates, so could Blago’s staff have planted information stating meetings took place that really never did? (With Obama)
Jarrett may have went along with the senator appointment until she got confirmation of a better apointment with the WH.
Too much speculation! Not enough answers!
Bottom line: Many others are involved. We deserve answers and names.

Yes, I miss Peach!
Right, that thumbnail was all I found, there exists a discussion thread on another site about a totally different glare that looked nothing like an earpiece.
I included this photo in this thread just so people could compare against a large photo if one is found. I saw it when it was full size but it is no longer on photobucket.
This is taken from Katie Allison Granju’s blog at the Knoxville, TN “Knox News” website (http://blogs.knoxnews.com/knx/granju/2008/12/more-evidence-that-obama-and-b.html). I may post a separate thread because the Obama-Blago visit has been censored on her original link to KHQA TV 7 serving Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. However, other news outlets independently reported the meeting between BO and Blago. Here is her blog.
CHICAGO, ILL. — 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.
That’s one of Obama’s first priorities today.
He’s meeting with Governor Rod Blagojevich this afternoon in Chicago to discuss it.
Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement.
There’s already been speculation about his selection...from Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. of Chicago’s south side who co-chaired Obama’s presidential campaign, to recently-retired state senate president Emil Jones, to the governor himself.
It’s likely the governor will make his decision quickly so the new senator will get some seniority before newly-elected senators take office in January...

KHQA TV wishes to offer clarification regarding a story that appeared last month on our website ConnectTristates.com. The story, which discussed the appointment of a replacement for President Elect Obama’in the U.S. Senate, became the subject of much discussion on talk radio and on blog sites Wednesday.
The story housed in our website archive was on the morning of November 5, 2008. It suggested that a meeting was scheduled later that day between President Elect Obama and Illinois Governor Blagojevich. KHQA has no knowledge that any meeting ever took place. Governor Blagojevich did appear at a news conference in Chicago on that date.

QUINCY, IL — 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. Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement. There’s already been speculation about his selection…from Congressman Jesse Jackson, Junior to Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth.
Duckworth made an appearance in Saturday’s Veterans’ parade in Quincy. We asked her about the possibility of filling Obama’s seat.
“The Governor’s office confirmed yesterday that he is considering me and I am deeply honored jus to be considered. I hope whoever is selected is someone who is willing to travel around the state and gets to know this wonderful state. I’m just honored to be considered,” Duckworth said.
The governor expects to make his decision before Christmas. Part of the timing depends on when Obama officially vacates his senate seat.

Blagojevich mum on possible successors to Obama
Chicago Tribune (IL) - Friday, October 31, 2008
Author: Rick Pearson and Monique Garcia, TRIBUNE REPORTERS
Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Thursday cited the potential for bad “karma” and avoided discussing potential Senate successors to Barack Obama should the Democratic nominee win the White House, but acknowledged he has a process in mind for making the most important appointment of his career.
“I just don’t want to jinx him and I don’t like the karma of me thinking that far ahead,” Blagojevich said of Obama ‘s prospects in Tuesday’s election. The governor added, “We have had some discussions about a process which we’ll share ... if all goes well.”

There are 300 hours of tapes. There is a lot more material.
Yes, it’s not that I don’t think Obama and his team are dirty — just that they are more careful than Blago, who is obviously a reckless fool.
True. I bet there was a pub in British occupied New Amsterdam called "Free Dominion" or something where old men sat around 'showing contempt' for the Redcoats while Washington and the Continental Army spent 22 hours a day pushing back against oppression with their lives.
“the transcripts never include the ums and uhs”
They rarely do. Court reporters regularly exclude them from ordinary court transcripts, too.
Yes, with Kevin Costner and Sean Connery and Robert Diniro as Al Capone. Excellent movie.
Nothing has changed here since prohibition. The cops and politicos are all still corrupt.
The best would be if they could take Daley down by the end of the year. They were showing a clip of him on the local news the day of Blago’s arrest. Daley had total bedhead and was stuttering around more then usual. He was shaken up.
LOL.....and the Blago day rained on Albore’s day.
This is just soooo sweet.
The whole Daley machine going down would be the salvation of Chicago!
Those prison guards would have to be at least 6’10 to tower over Michelle that way . . . .
Weather channel blowing the same hot air and bull as the O crowd.
ITA! People are happy that this junk is finally seeing the light of day.
