I know what Obama will say.

Obama: It would be inappropriate for me to comment on that at, uh, uh, this time.

Obama: That’s a distraction.

Obama: This is part of an ongoing investigation.

Obama: This is a very sad day for America.

Obama: David misspoke when he said ...

Obama: I had no knowledge of ...

Obama: We never met.

Fox news says “they feel real sorry for Tom Daschele, it was supposed to be his day”.

Report: Michelle Obama Is "Specifically Named Individual" on Page 64 of Blago Indictment

It is very likely that Michelle Obama is the "Specifically Named Individual" on page 64 of the Criminal Complaint against Governor Rod Blagojevich.

From the indictment:
ROD BLAGOJEVICH said that the consultants (Advisor B and another consultant are believed to be on the call at that time) are telling him that he has to “suck it up” for two years a More..nd do nothing and give this “motherf***er [the President-elect] his senator. F**k him. For nothing? F**k him.” ROD BLAGOJEVICH states that he will put “[Senate Candidate 4]” in the Senate “before I just give f**king [Senate Candidate 1] a f**king Senate seat and I don’t get anything.” (Senate Candidate 4 is a Deputy Governor of the State of Illinois).

>ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that he needs to find a way to take the “financial stress” off of his family and that his wife is as qualified or more qualified than another specifically named individual to sit on corporate boards.

>>The “specifically named individual” is Michelle Obama, who was appointed to the Board of TreeHouse Foods, a WAL-MART vendor, on June 25, 2005, even though she did not have experience in the private sector previous to the appointment. Here are the benefits the Obama family received as a result of Michelle Obama’s stint with the WAL-MART vendor:

According to the couple’s tax returns, Mrs Obama earned $51,200 (£25,700) for her work as a non-executive director on Treehouse’s board last year, on top of the $271,618 salary she was paid as a vice-president of the University of Chicago Hospitals.

She also received 7,500 Treehouse stock options, worth a further $72,375, as she did the previous year, when she banked a $45,000 salary from the company. Less..

Looks like we now know what Michelle Obama will be wearing to the inauguration:
Similar to this old outfit, but more like the real thing...

Wouldnt that indicate that odumbo expressed a preference to him for Candidate 1?
