"I know NOTHING!"

When I saw this yesterday, something told me it wouldn't last long, so I saved an image of the page. Sure enough, the website has received pressure to remove the story dated November 10, 2008.

Save this photo on your own hard drives, it may turn out to be a collectors item proving the President-presumptive lied when he stated that he had never met with Gov. Blagojevich to discuss his successor.
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.”

Great work! Bump!
So far we have Axlerod on video saying they met.
Local media saying they were scheduled to meet.
Same local media with a later story saying that they had met.
Obama is not just a liar, he is a pathological liar.
Expect more denials, BS and other deceptions from him in the coming weeks.
"I know NOTHING!"
think I should post this info on separate thread of its own?
I remember the movie “All the President’s Men” - an early scene concerned something about who took out a book from the Library of Congress or something like that. Some librarian gave out information, and later took it all back in a very unconvincing matter. This was the first clue that something was amiss.
I think we may have just seen another such moment.

*Please add you own! Thanks!
The msm has always ignored the lies of rats, that's nothing new either.
What IS new is that the msm will now actually do backflips to COVER for the rat lies.
bump for truth
My guess is the spin will go like this... “Yes, we did have a brief meeting. It was so brief, in fact, that I had forgotten we met. The governor merely congratulated me on being elected and we said we would meet at some future time to discuss important issues. That meeting never took place.”
Just a guess, but you know Obama will come up with some lame story.

” Sure enough, the website has received pressure to remove the story dated November 10, 2008.”
It is gone, the story has been removed and retracted.
I have a question for Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Cunningham, Michael Reagan, Laura Ingraham, and Fox News people: Are you reading these? Did any of you save these? Why are you not discussing this?
You don't suppose the sensors have infiltrated this site and sabotaged your links, do you?
Was suggesting to another poster, who seems to be on to this, a format set up an “all in one” thread. There really needs to be one as great info is coming out on multiple threads with photos and press releases from the governors own newsletter!
Obama!! Just tell us the truth about you & Blago...
...and while you’re at it, about that birth certificate...
BO is more Clintonian than the Clintons.
