CHICAGO (AP) - Days after the November 2008 election, Rod Blagojevich sent word to Barack Obama that he would name one of the president-elect's close friends to the Senate in exchange for a position in the Cabinet, the ousted governor's former chief of staff testified Wednesday.

After court adjourned Wednesday, Blagojevich's attorneys filed a motion asking to see the FBI's summaries of interviews agents conducted with Obama.

Jurors at Blagojevich's corruption trial heard a tape of the impeached governor telling aides that Valerie Jarrett, the person Obama wanted as his successor in the Senate, had been informed that he would appoint her to the seat if he received the job.

Wouldn’t be ironic if Balgo was the one to bring down Obama.

It’s clear that Blago was just playing the same game the 0bama clique was playing with Sestak in PA. Jobs in return for pay or other favors.

I can't believe no one is hammering Obama...because he declared he nor any of his administration was involved.

never mind axelrod had to walk back a statement he(axelrod) made months earlier, where he verified that Blago & Obama met.

But, Blago also had a position of authority, gained from years of working his base.

Early on, Zer0 was a street walking Community Organizer pimp, with a few blocks he could call his own, until he powered his way into Illinois politics, by neutralizing his opponent via Chicago methods, so he could vote “present” in the State Senate.

Zer0 is a total un-american, muslim POS, and I really hope Blago can finger him in the corrupt sleaze

He may end up like a certain gay choir director, Donald Young, who worked at Rev. Wright’s church...who knew Obie and Larry Sinclair, but I digress...

“So she now knows she could be a senator if I get health and human services,” Blagojevich is heard saying on a tape secretly made by the FBI.
