President-elect Barack Obama is calling for the Illinois governor to resign.
Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs says the president-elect agrees with other prominent politicians in Illinois and elsewhere that "under the current circumstances, it is difficult for the governor to effectively do his job and serve the people of Illinois."

Obama is headed to WashDC and he’s dragging the culture of corruption that is Chicago politics along with him.
Next on the agenda -— more national socialism for America.
BHO: “RESIGN BEFORE YOU TAKE ME DOWN WITH YOU, DAMMIT!”
I think “Lightning” Rod ought to stick it out, keep his story in the media another week or two!
LOL!
The Muslim Messiah doesn’t want any corruption dirt rightfully clinging to him. He’s, no doubt, very nervous!!!
She's been a stain on the backside of republicans in IL for years. It was her that threw Jack Ryan under the bus when the RATS had his divorce records unsealed. And not because of that crapola divorce testimony from his actress ex-wife but because he was up and coming, principled, and SHE COULDN'T MANIPULATE HIM.
If you are happy that Obama won the IL senatorial seat in 2004, thank Judy Barr I'll-stink-ya. While you're at it, thank her for PE Barack Hussein Obama. She deserves a lot of credit for that too.
As far as I know, Axelrod is not an attorney, so he couldn’t have been Daley’s lawyer. Axelrod was Daley’s political strategist and damage controlmeister. But your point that Axelrod and Fitzgerald have squared off before is a good one. I bet their Sun Tsu booklets are pretty dog-eared about now. This is going to be a to-the-death grudge match.
Hey Blagojevich! 0bama is telling your sorry ___ to get under the bus. He doesn’t care about you. He is going to let you sit in prison while he flies around on Air Force One. He is going to be tucking his kids in at night while you are going to be watching your back at night hoping not to get raped at night while dreaming of your wife and kids. Do the right thing. Roll on 0bama!
He reminds me of Shurltz from Hogan’s Heroes.
Iknow nothiiiing.
Shultz
Cold fingers.
Former Senator Peter Fitzgerald would be my first choice.

Thank you SO much for correcting me! I really messed up on that statement! Azelrod was a client of Obama’s during that time. Thanks again!
No he didn’t. The spokesman’s statement that’s making the rounds does NOT call for Blagojevich’s removal or resignation. What’s quoted here is the entire statement. It calls for nothing.
One week exactly.
He has a golf match with John Edwards next Tuesday.
“BHO acting quickly. Wise move.”
BHO would have “acted quickly” by acting yesterday but he needed time to decide on a “wise move”. I figure he smoked a pack of cigarettes last night while pondering the best way to advance his chess game. ;)
CORRECTION TO POST 70
Axelrod was not an attorney but was a client of Obama and they were tight. I messed up! :(
I can not see throwing anyone, with as nice of hair as the Governor has under the bus.

“If I was Blago I’d hire about a dozen trusted bodyguards. Probably best if from Blackwater.”
If Blag goes to a real jail, his halflife will be very short with all of the Black Muslims, Nation of Islam and al Fuqra thugs waiting for him.
You're right. There's got to be at least one high-level, inside informant and several more down the food chain. The Clintons make as much sense as anyone else--especially knowing how their minds chug away at Machiavellian warp speed. Hell, she may still be gunning for her rightful office. Why wait for 2012 or 2016 when the inauguration is still a month away? It would explain Obama's facial tic, anyway.
Jonathan Alter has already “warned” that Blago is going to start telling lies about Obama to bring him down.
