"Did we mention that he voted with Bush 90% of all time?"

Nuff said.

Hey - how about somebody leak 0bama’s real birth certificate - without official attribution, of course.

Am I missing something? Seems to me any attempts to attach Blago and Obama have been in the media.

RE :”strategy as nothing more than a partisan attack at a time when people want political leaders to come together to solve problems?”

I agree that this is very risky given BoB is so popular (he hasnt done anything yet). This is good for 527s and Hannity at least until it catches. Just my guess, then again, what do we have to lose?

Chris calls Ted Strickland a ‘moderate’ Dem when he’s actually a ‘progressive’!

Chris is a fool!

RNC ad is just about Duncan trying to keep his job.

[TribalPrincess2U]

That’s not the Blagojevich I know.

This POS is the center of the slime pool and no one questions anything?
Hopefully that pool has a fast emptying drain.

That same poll showed Obama with very solid personal approval scores (67 percent positive/16 percent negative) and a belief among a majority of voters (52 percent) that Obama will be able to accomplish his stated goal of bringing "more cooperation and less bickering between the political parties."

There is a Democrat for President so they bring back out the split approval rating system, peronal and job. Bush only got one rating called "the approval rating". When everyone was sick of Clinton, they dumped personal approval ratings and just used job approval. It's a convenient system

[jerry639]

I don't think linking Obama by association is much of a gamble at all. Why does the media think we should play nice with this fraud? What would we gain by doing so? Everyone opposed to the Obama Presidency should make the accusations every day. That is what the Democrats did to President Bush for 8 long years. Now it is our time to see that Obama becomes as irrelevant as possible.

Will voters perceive this strategy as nothing more than a partisan attack at a time when people want political leaders to come together to solve problems? -Chris Cilliza

Voters have zero opinion about the openly partisan RNC fanning the flames of a legitimate scandal. Voters care about the corruption, which is one of those problems they "want political leaders to come together to solve."

At the very best, Obama did nothing to curtail the rampant corruption in the Illinois Democratic machine.

Pfff. Psyops.

I counted "Republican" 6 times in the excerpted portion of this article, including the headline.

"Democrat" count was... zero.

[Larry381]

The author has a point-why can’t we treat the new president with a little kindness and respect-like the Democrats did to Bush during the start of his 2 terms.
Payback is a bitch.

[Arrowhead1952]

Well, as someone noted on FOX the other evening, there was NO mention of Blago’s political affiliation by any of the major news networks or cable news shows.

Half of the country probably thinks Blago is a Republican and all (R) officials are corrupt - at least according to the DBM.

[Impy]

Elections coming up soon? No. No risk.

[uncbob]

The scary thing is that the first words out of Obama’s mouth were lies which indicates he has a BIG character problem.

In addition, did he really think the truth wouldn’t come out ?

If so what does that say about his ability to think in a real crisis

Here' a "guilt by association" ~ Warren Buffett owns Washington Post stock. The Washington Post supported now Senator Webb. Webb ran a primary campaign against a Jewish guy and portrayed him as a stereotype from 19th century Russian secret police archives. Later the Washington Post carried Jim Webb's water in the election by accusing Senator Allen's mother of being a Jew during WWII.

So, Warren Buffett, the Washington Post, and James Webb either support, condone or engage in the crassest sort of anti-Semitism.

And the Republicans do what Washington Post?

[Tailgunner Joe]

What did Obama know and when did he know it?

[Right Wing Assault]

Since when is “guilt by association” always wrong? Of course I can associate with someone who is a thief but not be a thief myself. People should not assume I, too, am a thief.

But in this case, both them work together and both have great interest in the Senate seat. Therefore, if one is guilty, the odds of the other knowing about it and therefore being guilty, is much greater.
