On the campaign trail, Barack Obama liked to boast that he was a tough survivor of the bare-knuckled world of Chicago politics. But the president-elect also has steered clear of most of its scandals, navigating a careful middle ground that has left him relatively unscathed in a city synonymous with corruption.

Well, if Sharon Cohen and the AP say it, it MUST be true.
Remind me again, exacty how did the Obamination win his elections in Chitown. Eliminating candiddates based on questionable signatures, private divorce proceedings leaked to the MSM - yeah, this guy is as clean as they come.
Just ask Tony Rezko.

Obama and the MSM need to check their collective shorts. I see and smell a “stain”.

Unreal and so pathetic. The MSM has been running this story line since Blago was arrested. The AP is a joke.

Kiss my butt, AP.
This ain't nowhere near over.
The cool part is that the little narcissist punk hasn't even gotten into office yet.

Really??? "Most" of the scandals - not ALL? There needs to be a special prosecutor appointed to make that determination.

If Obama himself had put the Senate seat up for auction on eBay, his devoted followers would deny that he had done anything wrong. By definition, it seems, this guy can do no wrong. It’s amazing that Reuters and AP even bothered to point it out.

Obama avoids stains only because the media refuses to cover them. He’s as dirty as anyone else.
To: mcenedo
Zero had better pray that he is able to avoid all this controversy. If his lovely (sarc) wife, Blackie O, does not get to live in the White House she is going to kick his ass!

So far. He will be stained plenty by the time he takes office, then it will be a constant revelation after revelation, just like the Clinton years.
I will take December 15, 2009 for the office pool on his impeachment date.

Obama avoids stain? With who? The propagandists in the media may not believe he is stained, but I think he is.

Nobody has asked (rhetorically) why Blago felt like he could approach Obie with a “deal” in the first place???

The MSM are circling their wagons around Obama.
And he didn't get help from Mayor Richard Daley when he won his first election his state Senate seat in 1996
What a joke. We know how he won that election. This is disgustingly wretched.
If this was a republican scandal, the MSM would be looking under every rock looking for even the weakest connection to Pres. Bush
To: mort56
Somewhere there is a “stained blue dress” lurking in the O’s closet directly connected with Rezko, Blago and Daleyo. You can bet on it.
