In the midst of two wars and an intensifying economic meltdown, Barack Obama had to take time off last week to answer questions from federal prosecutors investigating charges that the governor of Illinois had put the president-elect's former Senate seat up for sale. With his own lawyer by his side, Obama sat down Thursday with U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald's staff to tell what, if anything, he knew about Gov. Rod Blagojevich's efforts to cash in on appointing Obama's Senate successor

More to come....
That’s Corruption I Can Believe In.Of course all the media keeps on saying is that “Obama has been cleared” with a huge smile on their face
this fad of parenthesizing headlines is a bit confusing — I’m pretty sure AP would never put something like that in their headline.
obama tried to bribe the governor. That should be the story, not the governor trying to sell the senate seat
The office of the president elect is forever tainted. LOL
Zero can’t even keep a made up office clean.
how long before he’s toast and Hillary’s only three heartbeats away?
Well, that is what happens when one wallows in the pig slop of Chicago Dem Machine politics. This is also what he gets for tossing under the bus some the people who got him where he is.
The nerve of that investigator! Doesn’t he know that The One already investigated Himself, and declared Himself innocent?
It's gotten worse. In the midst of two wars that he denounced and promised to end as soon as he was able, and an economic meltdown that he was bribed not to reign in, he's had to take time off to vacation in Hawaii! Poor guy!
I wonder if he'll make a solemn announcement that his grandmother in Hawaii just died. Again.
Note to the AP: Barack Hussein Obama is in the middle of nothing but planning his transition. He has no responsibility for dealing with the two major fronts of the war on terror, nor the economy. He is a private citizen.
Can anyone imagine the AP writing a sympathetic intro like that for President Bush whenever he has faced questioning by investigators? I don't think so.
The poor dear.
At the risk of pointing out the obvious: 0bama has exactly no legal responsibilities at this juncture.
I actually made a thread complaining about this. Why can't FReepers just post the title and leave it at that?
Vely Intelesting. . .
As with Scooter Libby, Obama should realize being innocent of the original charge is no guarantee of anything.
I think this is a Wonderful “Beginning” for a Politician from Chicago assuming an elected office . A little Heart to Heart talk with the Authorities.
Obama is just another DemocRAT politician. Same old, same old.
Given all of his father’s marriages, how many grandmothers does he have?
Bingo. Also, this is just the beginning. He has spent years with these scumbags and wheeled and dealed with them from his earliest days in politics. He is as dirty as a pig in mud.
