Obama Spreading Word He Hated That Blago Jerk
The Gawker ^ | Dec 12 2008 | Ryan Tate

Posted on 12/12/2008 4:16:48 AM PST by AmericanMade1776

The Rod Blagojevich scandal has dominated several news cycles, so the Obama team seems to have decided the time is right to distance, distance, distance itself from the corrupt Illinois governor.

snip

Obama, for his part, was wise to wait: If he had tried to spread the forceful denial line too soon, he would only have looked defensive, like all those other ratty Democratic politicians before him. As always, he plays it cool.

Back in 2002 he was earnestly shilling for Blago. He must have started hating him after Blago named a price higher than Barry was willing to pay. We all know how tacaño Barry is.

Notice the attempted parallel.

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God
(except for Jesus Christ)


All of the Chicago polls are crooked
(except for Buraq Hussein 0bama)

Right. Obama never even had a clue of what went on in his church..the Chicago government or anything bad. He is clean. Innocent..The msm must save him from all the evil people around him. He is the democrat messiah he can do no wrong. Problem he is not as slick as Willie.

With the zealous aid of the mainstream media the Obamamessiah is burnishing his legend among the Democrat faithful as the Immaculate Projection: a pure soul arising unstained and unsullied from the noisome muck that is Chicago-style politics.

This is for “public consumption”. In private Obama is communicating the message to Blago, “Play Ball, or else”.

Sure, it makes perfect sense that you campaign from one end of the state to the other for someone you hate. They both campaigned for each other numerous times. An interesting thing for two people who hate each other to do.

No you Can't!

Watching the corrupt political vermin scurrying around in full blown CYA mode is a change I can believe in.

We can hope some of the feces will stick, and the 'punishment' doesn't wind up being just a slap on the wrist.

Barry O’ “hates” Blago because . . . Blago is WHITE.

Truth is, Barry O’ is Caucasian-Caucasoid with 1/16 Negroid. So Barry O’ is WHITE too.

Sorry Michelle, you married a WHITE GUY! Now, read us your Thesis again, ‘k?

Oh, that’s going to make the Blag want to keep mum. Throwing Rod under the bus might make the bus backfire.

I believe it. Blago's "corrupt stupid" - and a drama queen. That's not Obama's style. I'm surprised Blago could find a woman willing to marry him...

Blago is auctioning off the Senate seat.

Several people want the seat and several other people are promoting those people for the seat.

An auction requires all parties know the rules.

So, whether they participate or not, anyone who knew the rules but didn’t notify the Feds should be in some pretty deep manure.

“What did the (fill in the blank) know, and when did he know it?”
