CHICAGO – President-elect Barack Obama said Thursday that he's confident no member of his staff was involved in discussing deals for his Senate seat with disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Obama also said once again that he had no discussions about the seat he is vacating with the Democratic governor, who was arrested by federal agents this week in connection with an alleged corruption scheme. "I was as appalled and disappointed as anyone," Obama said at a news conference called to announce a series of new appointments to the administration he is setting up.

Daschle was mum on whether her husband will serve as HHS secretary – as Democratic and health industry sources say – and wouldn’t comment on the timing of her job change, except to say she notified the firm last week and it sent out a note on her move on Wednesday."

First `saddened’ and now `appalled’. Zero’s on an emotional roller coaster.
“Confident” implies wiggle room. His exact words were, “absolutely certain”.
Ha ha ha, nice official denial Bammy.
You never spoke to Blago about this, got it. Let’s see what Blago & Blago say and go for a process crime for perjury. You can have the cell next to Libby Scooter.
56 million Americans suspected him as incompetent. His background check was shut down by the main stream media. If this had been a republican.....Well, we know what would have happened a long time ago!
First `saddened’ and now `appalled’. Zero’s on an emotional roller coaster.....

This one's a classic, friends.
Yes...It’s possible on advise from henchman, Rahm Emanuel.
