Aide: Ax[elrod] 'misspoke'
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.

“Misspoke” = News-speak for Obombanation saying, “Hot dang it boy, I didn’t give you permission to open your mouth.”

In that pic, it appear 0bama has zapped Blago’s brain with his astounding powers. Who’s the guy in the background? Look’s like he got a pretty big zap, as well.

Irish and Cherokee... where does that leave me?

An Irishman who can't hold his liquor, or a Cherokee who can??

Just kidding. It was the Cherokee that called Sam Houston "Big Drunk". Houston was Scots-Irish.

Don’t know who that guy is, but there’s so much obvious sucking up going all around, I’m surprised there was any air left in the room!

Forgot to mention that it looks like PUSPEBO is doing his Stevie Wonder impression or something, what on earth is he looking at?

"What did the President-elect know, and when did he know it?"

That is the key. While Obama may not have been offering anything to Blagojevich, it is clear that Blagojevich was demanding some kind of bribe for the Senate seat nomination. If Obama knew that Blagojevich was trying to sell the seat for an ambassadorship or some other kind of presidential appointment and he didn't immediately notify the FBI, then he could be in a lot of hot water.

I don't see how Obama could not know that Blagojevich was trying to sell the seat. Blagojevich's own statement make it clear that Obama wasn't coming up with the right amount of cash incentive to get his choice nominated. Somebody was working with Blagojevich's aides to try to get some kind of deal in place. Obama may not have been buying, but he was clearly being solicited.

I think the Teflon is wearing thin and when the heat gets turned up over the next few days, Barry O is toast. Well at least I'm hopeful the media will finally do their jobs.

If a liberal’s lips are moving, the words are either incoherent, lies, or hate-speech directed at conservatives.

The problem and the truth about your picture is that this is a teflon frying pan. If the media doesn’t investigate this (and they won’t), Obama AND Axelrod are teflon - none of this will stick. Sorry, but that’s the truth (if I’m proven wrong, I will gladly admit it, but I’m not planning an apology).

So, the wholly and absolutely corrupt governor of Illinois tries to sell the US Senate seat Obama just vacated for, among other things, a "cabinet post", and the Obama teams wants us to believe he never spoke to the Governor?

In fact, they want to take back a statement that was made by Axlerod before the case exploded on the public view, which has not been contested until this moment, and now say that back then Axlerod, "mispoke?"

It is obvious that Obama takes the entirety of the US voting public for the fools this disgusting governor took the people of Illinois for.

Obama's lies, tom foolery, and charltain behavior was bought into by so many people to get him elected...how long will those same people continue buying pig in a poke?

“Jake Tapper at ABC online news had the story, and the video of Axelrod.”

That’s good.
