Report Arrives on Obama-Blagojevich Staff Contacts

WSJ ^ | December 22, 2008 | JONATHAN WEISMAN

[Red Steel]

Obama has already preordained he and his staff have done nothing wrong.

[kcvl]

Yeah, I believe him too. /s

[Tempest]

I suspect that the MSM media already have the bodies of their stories trumpeting 0’s integrity prewritten.

[OL Hickory]

Gomer Pyle: Surprise, surprise, surprise!

[KJC1]

Nothing like approving your own “accounting” to instill confidence. What a giant load of dung.

Independent review, then we’d be talkin’.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Can you even imagine if President Bush, Reagan, Nixon, Ford, or ANY other Republican had come out with a report on themselves and expected the press to swallow it whole as if it had come from an authoritative third party?

[Lancey Howard]

"The contacts are a potential Pandora's box," Mr. Bonjean said. "They'll take reporters in all different directions, like having dozens of little rabbits running around...."

Sure. They'll be in Alaska trying to find out where Sarah Palin buys her underwear.

[freekitty]

Oh right. Like I am going to believe him. The guy won’t even release his bc. How can we believe someone that straight out of the shoot started lying?

[GoreNoMore]

I agree, I’m tired of all the lies.

Sadly from W or Obama

[little jeremiah]

0bama, Emmanuel and all his henchmen are obviously as pure as the driven snow.

[river rat]

The prosecutor sprung the trap early enough to prevent the entanglement of any “big fish”...
That was the plan....

In fact, I've heard lawyers say the early arrest of Blago, will probably make it impossible to get a conviction.

Again, that may have been the plan...

[Bluebird Singing]

obama originally said it wasn’t “percieved” that he had any contacts with Blago. He’s just building on that, and the press will follow his lead. Now, his staff has done nothing wrong. He’s a liar.

obama is a Liar.

[bikerman]

Barack Obama has said that when all is revealed, it will be clear that neither he nor his staff had any contacts with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich that could be considered improper.

Dan Rather is gathering all the necessary paper work now.

[Carley]

The contacts most likely were with Blago’s chief of staff who immediately resigned after his arrest.

[Congressman Billybob]

How can any (competent) reporter write about Obama's in-house report on his non-involvement with Gov. Blago without referencing Nixon's in-house report on Whitewater? Ah, but mentioning that would immediately reveal the bigotry of the American press.

Believe Nixon? Never. Whatever he says MUST be a lie.

Believe Obama? Always. Whatever he says MUST be true.

See "Johnny Dean," below.

[Peter W. Kessler]

Obama will exonerate himself.

Case closed.

Shades of the Clinton administration....

[randita]

The coming Blagojevich release will have the same effect.

Does this refer to Obama's release or is Blago supposed to release something as well?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Obama's release or is Blago supposed to release something as well?

I'm going to be sick....

[freekitty]

I know.
