The AP ^ | 12-23-08 | NEDRA PICKLER

In the midst of two wars and an intensifying economic meltdown, Barack Obama had to take time off last week to answer questions from federal prosecutors investigating charges that the governor of Illinois had put the president-elect's former Senate seat up for sale. With his own lawyer by his side, Obama sat down Thursday with U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald's staff to tell what, if anything, he knew about Gov. Rod Blagojevich's efforts to cash in on appointing Obama's Senate successor

I still say Obama has man-boobs even though he is skinny.

Oh no, no, no, those are a “pair of toned pecs.” The media said so.

Yeah, I’d say he’s clueless. I’d also say that the people behind him pulling the strings are not. He’s a pasty like Oswald. Whoever they are, perhaps people like Soros are in control, but when it all goes bad, he will be the one thrown under the bus.

Obama, Two Aides Questioned in Probe

What the heck is Rahm Emanuel doing in Africa? That’s a pretty odd place to go for Hanukkah!

“The report said Emanuel recommended Jarrett for the Senate seat in an early discussion with Blagojevich before he learned that Obama did not want to communicate any preference. Afterward, Emanuel gave Harris a list of other candidates whom Obama felt were qualified. But at no time was any quid pro quo discussed, according to the report.”

whoa.. that one spun so fast I got dizzy. rofl

BLAGOGATE: The Beat Goes ON

..from WSJ today:

“Mr. Emanuel’s spokeswoman said he couldn’t be reached for comment because he was traveling. Ms. Jarrett said in an email that Mr. Craig “answered everything completely.” Mr. Whitaker couldn’t be reached.

The Blagojevich controversy has been an early test for the incoming Obama administration, which has promised to be the most transparent in history.

Obama aides have accused news reporters of unfairly insinuating wrongdoing despite Mr. Fitzgerald’s assurances that the president-elect and his staff were not suspects.

Critics have said the Obama team fumbled the issue and allowed those insinuations to ripen by not being forthcoming.

Republican and Democratic lawyers have said Mr. Fitzgerald had no legal authority to keep Mr. Obama from speaking out earlier.”

Gynecomastia is believed by many to be caused by frequent use of Marijuana which lowers testosterone levels and causes many side effects like: apathy (”I don’t really care I guess I’ll just vote present”), lack of emotional response and man boobs!

Rahm looks like the typical mob hitman. Maybe some people in Kenya have to be “retired”.

Can Blago appoint himself to the senate seat? So what if he gets impeached as governor. I would love to see this.

His supporters don’t even know about this, and if they did, they could not comprehend and would be unconcerned if they did understand.

About all he has done since November 4 is “got to the gym”, the best I could figure it out. Name some useless Cabinet picks and meet once with GWB
