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

And now, in the midst of two wars and an intensifying economic meltdown, Barack 0bama had to take time off for a vacation in Hawaii. Oh, the Hugh manatee!

I would recommend some pec dec flyes and bench press until failure.

Re: “President Bush is also very fit - perhaps more impressively than O - but he doesn’t prance around for this kind of publicity shot.”

Putin does!

Putin shirtless - lol!

Well perhaps because as part of an investigation, the prosecutor does this little thing called an interview and why not interview Obama? Afterwards, I think Fitzgerald was pretty clear cut about the result and I think that Obama will keep Fitzgerald in place here in Illinois. I think we’re digging for wishes on this one and that the birth certificate issue has more chance than this one

You must have missed my sarcasm tag. Funny you use the word, "we're" as if you are participating if only to protect us all from ourselves. Thanks for trying to look out for us!

“but Obama knew nothing.”

This is his standard excuse for everything! Just like he didn’t know:

His advisor on mortgage & housing policy, Franklin Raines, was mistating earnings as CEO & Chairman of Fannie Mae.

Or

His buddy Tony Rezko was committing mail fraud, money laundering and bribery.

Or

Jeremiah Wright was an America hating, white hating racist.

Or

Bill Ayers is a domestic terrorist.

Or

His youngest half brother lives in poverty on the outskirts of a town in Kenya.

Or

That his aunt was living in the US illegally in a run down slum in Boston.......

This oblivious empty suit is going to POTUS. God help us.

I guess ignorance is bliss.

This whole Blagojevich thing makes one wonder how Obama REALLY got his Senate seat and if it is up for sale how much (or what favors) did the abombanation pay for it?

[The Anti-One]

Yup! Just a bunch of goodfellas.

“I wonder if he’ll make a solemn announcement that his grandmother in Hawaii just died. Again. “

Speculation I have read on this is thta when he went to hawaii a couple of weeks before the election, it was for her funeral.

I know anything is possible, but the timing of her dying literally right on top of the election is just too suspicious to not look a little closer.

Indeed, Odumbo’s statements leave us with two options.

A - He is bigger liar than Billy Jeff Clinton

or

B - He is one of the most naive and clueless people to ever be elected to the office of President.

Either way, not good.

I am going to send that pic via e-mail to everyone I know.

Come on, we all know he discussed it. Remember how it was made clear he wasn’t party to the ‘complaint’, yet he gets questioned.

Read this and tell me how many times it says he talked to his folks and they talked to Blago, Harris or the SEIU:

Remember his telling ‘I... we’?
Remember he said his staff wasn’t involved yet, he was going to do an investigation... for what if you know already?

My two year old could lie and parse better than this.

When I slow down, i’ll do a by paragraph vs. FBI.

Suprise! The MSM-narrative is already starting: In the midst of two wars and an intensifying economic meltdown, must we really burden our brilliant savior with such piddling annoyances?

Can't we just move on?

Coming next: How much is this investigation costing the taxpayers? The only time denholes and MSMwhores worry about taxpayers is when demholes are under investigation. Anyone recall any concern about distracions from real issues and costs to taxpayers when Fitz was after the Bush Administration? Me neither.

“I have heard several talking heads note that Barry’s honeymoon period has already started an that he is using-up this period quickly.”

There is no ‘honeymoon period’ for Obama. His entire presidency is going to be a honeymoon, with the press actively protecting him from scandal just the way they tried to do for Clinton.
