Well, at least not with two first names that rhyme with vague and plague.
Probably better off not trusting someone with two last names.

Hussein Obama
Jefferson Clinton
Rodham Clinton
Carlyle Byrd
D'Alesandro Pelosi
Mason Reid

This really doesn't pass the smell test.

Surely Obama would have the expectation that, having just won the Presidency, nobody as low on the totem pole as the Governor of Illinois would overrule his choice for the successor to his Senate seat. Obama would have high expectations as to his ability to make that choice, or at a minimum, have the selection made from his short list of candidates. I simply cannot believe this is not the case.

Assuming I'm right about that then good old Rahm is going to fight like the devil to deliver on his boss's high expectations. Knowing Rahm, the conversations would not be polite and few phone calls would not do the trick.

Has anyone ever asked if this Senate seat has been for sale before? It is Illinois, you know, and whoever gets the Democrat nomination is likely to get the nod in the election (especially if it’s known that the GOP opponent is vulnerable to a scandal.

Hope and Change my butt. Obama is just a ward heeler (now know as a community organizer) from Chicago with a Ivy league degree.

Dr Whitaker, I presume?

Mentioned on pg 4-5 of the report.

What Barack Says About Me

Obama: "So, I think we submitted just a list of people that were mostly, you know, some of them were people who'd sent us resumes in the past or other people we thought we might be interested but they weren't people who were connected to our political organization in any meaningful way. Or they weren't people I knew particularly well. The one exception I do remember talking to Tony about was Dr. Eric Whitaker, who was a longtime friend of mine from Harvard. He and I played basketball together when he was getting his masters in public health at Harvard, while was at law school there. He had expressed an interest in that job. He did contact me, or Tony contacted me, and I gave him a glowing recommendation because I thought he was outstanding." (Sen. Barack Obama, Interview With Chicago Sun-Times Editorial Board, 3/15/08)

Obama Has Known Whitaker Since His Days At Harvard University. "[Obama] wrapped up the day with a barbecue at the South Shore home of his friend Dr. Eric Whitaker, whom he has known since his Harvard days." (Abdon M. Pallasch, "Obama's Day Off," Chicago Sun-Times, 6/30/08)

More likely Obama was interviewing Fitz for some job in his administration.

First thing that came to my mind, when I started reading this is Fitz getting testimony that could later be used for perjury charges?

Are the interviews done “under oath”? Is it considered perjury to tell the interview one thing and then testify to something else when confronted with evidence?

Obama and his lawer were interviewed?

And if you don’t have anything to hide, why does one need a lawyer?
