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.”

Good point, Owl. Run through the filter of what honest people say and how they say it, Obama's response is down right damning. The MSM's failure to acknowledge the obvious--at a level recognizable by any minimally competent parent, teacher, or small claims court judge--is just more evidence of the death of journalism. There are a few glimmers though. Surprisingly, Jake Tapper has managed some skeptical notes.

Funny, the DOJ wrapped this quickly. Afraid a “really big fish” was gong to get caught?

He’s back in the governor’s mansion

Blago doesn't actually live in the Governor's mansion. It's vacant, he never moved in. He doesn't like Springfield. He lives in his home in Chicago and has an offce in Chicago as well. Whenever he is actually required to be in Springfield, he flies down and back (usually on the same day) at state expense.

Here’s the deal: When Axelrod “misspoke” he had no reason to lie. Obama had a reason to lie yesterday and he went for his first instinct.

liberalspeak 101:
If what I said a month ago was the truth, and I don’t want it to be the truth today, then I “misspoke” a month ago.

This article does not exist, courtesy of the Office of the President Elect.
I mean, it just can’t, Barry said they did not meet.

David Axelrod is a very sharp guy. He doesn’t just “misspeak.” This is the lowest form of CYA.
