Politico ^
Posted on 12/09/2008 2:46:29 PM PST by swordfishtrombone
An Obama aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity, took back David Axelrod's remark last month that Barack Obama and Rod Blagojevich had spoken recently.
"What the president-elect said today is correct, David Axelrod misspoke," the aide said.
Obama said today the men had not spoken.
An open question: When they last spoke.

Obama's website states:
Create a Transparent and Connected Democracy
Open Up Government to its Citizens:
The Bush Administration has been one of the most secretive, closed administrations in American history...corrupted by millions of lobbying dollars...inside information...policies that favor the few against the public interest.
An Obama presidency...reverse this dynamic... creating a new level of transparency, accountability and participation
he, he, he...

Yeah. And then Blago can kinda double-end things tidily by then selling his GOVERNORSHIP.
OH the possibilities. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Look, it's one thing to obfuscate, all politicians do it to one extent or another, but this kind of thing approaches pathological.
Why wouldn't he just say “Of course I spoke to him about selection of my replacement. It's an extremely important position and if I can have input in the selection process, I'll certainly take it. But at no time did I have any suspicion that the position was open to the highest bidder, and if that accusation is true, I applaud the U.S. Attorney for taking action as swiftly as he did.”

Axelrod was telling the truth until Blago got arrested, then what Obama said was the truth.

Blago wanted a cabinet-ship.And just *who* would be in a position to make that happen?

"What the president-elect said today is correct, David Axelrod misspoke," the aide said. And another one's under the bus.

I like that idea. 63 million miss voted and some didn’t even get paid the full amount for campaigning.

I saw the tape and AxRod didn't stutter and spoke very clearly. That misspoke person is lying. Just like the Kenyan Ambassador, who claimed to have been misquoted, even though his words were on an audio recording. (He indicated that it was well known that Obama's birthplace was in Kenya).

“We have to get busy doing what God tells us to do (witnessing, supporting His work, planting churches, praying, living Holy/acceptable lives, etc) and let Him defeat our enemies.”
Totally agree.
I went to a little private lunch today with the guys from ADF (Alliance Defense Fund). This group was set up specifically to counteract ACLU. They said they’re making great inroads and one thing that has hugely helped is,they need to fight these losers with the fact that they don’t have STANDING when they try to get God out of our society and it’s crippled the losers in the courtroom because none of these idiot liberals can prove they’ve been harmed. This is a big step in fighting for God’s rights in this country.

Wow, even cnn is covering the contradictory statements of obummer and axelrod.
also, asking questions whether ANYONE from obummer’s camp spoke with Blajo, even if odumbo didnt.
And while it seems clear that dumbo isnt directly involved in the criminal matter, this was a bad day for him.
gotta keep that bastid on the defensive every day. he looked like crap at the news conference, I, too am happy he is having a bad day.

The question is if we close Gitanamo, where the heck do we put Obama? Federal "SuperMax" prison, Florence Colorado.

Time for the Grand Jury to look into this whole Chicago Politics crap and let it take them where it goes, even if it hits Obama. The lies and disassociation's are really starting to wear thin.
