Today in United States v. Rod Blagojevich: following up on his 2008 claims that then-Senator Barack Obama was one of a few people who could testify to his innocence, his defense team issued a motion today to subpoena the President to testify in court. Most of the juiciest bits involving Obama’s role in choosing a new Senator are blacked out, or so we thought. It turns a lucky PDF glitch gave us VIP access. Who wouldn’t want to see the blacked out part? Let’s investigate!
Most of the non-blacked out portions of the motion are predictably tame general knowledge: the seat in dispute belonged to the President; the FBI did speak with the President about this case at some point in time. A “labor union official” close to the President (who may be SEIU President Andy Stern) is said to contradict public statements on the case by Obama directly. The credibility of money man Tony Rezko being crucial to the case, the defense would like the President to testify about it. The defense also spends significant amount of time bringing up previous cases of sitting presidents being subpoenaed to testify in relevant cases. What the defense didn’t want you to see is the allegation that an Obama “supporter” offered Blagojevich “fundraising” in exchange for the seat. In other words: Blagojevich didn’t try to sell the seat; an Obama “supporter” tried to buy it.

Somehow this is all Bush’s fault too... Oh thats right becasue Bush failed to goven like a Conservative he caused the independents to vote for Obama and Wahlla its Bush’s fault.
[Maybe wishful thinking as I still don’t know who has what on whom, and which is more powerful blackmail wise... I’m guessing it’s Daley though.]
Rahm is a mean somebagum, but Daley....I’d have to put my money there.
Exactly. But why?
Because it would violtently pit one group of people in this country against another. The result would be anarchy and violance, providing an excuse to declare martial law and grab POWER.
Yep, we’re definitely on the same page here. Race riots/race war, and the power an out-of-control populace would give to the Federal Gov’t. All those Limo Liberals would be BEGGING for someone to save them — and the gov’t will be all too willing to come to the “rescue” and vilify the Conservatives of all stripes in the process.
Blago’s trial is currently scheduled to start in early June. However, with a few motions to delay, this could be out of the news until after the Nov elections.
The optimum scenario is the army of MSM footsoldiers in the Obama camp lose control of the news cycles during some heated pre-trial and early trial dates, and those trial dates occur right around the various states Democrat Primaries.
Hopefully it suppresses the enthusiasm of the “true believers” and party activists going in to the general election campaign and has a multiplier effect to the negative come the general election voter turnout.
If the timing works out, it might be yet possible for a paradigm shift where it is socially unacceptable to openly declare oneself a activist supporting Obama, at least in many of the swing districts House seats.
“People complain that Biden would then be our President, but frankly Biden is too much of an idiot to be scared of, IMHO. “
True enough, if Joe is President, he will have to spend every waking hour keeping his Ponzi scheming son and brother out of jail and away from extradition requests from Australia and 5 or 6 countries in Europe.
I doubt Obama will be impeached though, at least not until U6 unemployment reaches somewhere closer to 33%.
If that trip takes him to Kenya, I think that would say it all.
FOX News reporting on the document we’ve been talking about here. Apparently, there is a hearing on this right now. Talking about how when it was copied the blacked out sections came through! Bwahahaha!
No bet.
Evidently, NO ONE in the public knows where he is.
Is he in a jail cell out-of-state? Is he in Fitz's spare bedroom? Is he in a safe-house somewhere?
Is he underneath the Reverend Wright's new house being constructed in a Chicago suburb?

The Emperor testify in court? When pigs fly.
It’s a good thing that people trust computers a whole lot more than they should. Sucking data out of “blacked out” PDF files is a well-known trick.
It won’t fade away. It will be more likely to be exposed, as it should be.

wow....guess ‘Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman” is true...and Bill hates him!
They do. Just cut and paste from the PDF here http://blogs.suntimes.com/blago/obama.pdf into another program and it ALL appears, without redactions. I just did it and it works.
Don’t forget — Hillary grew UP in Cook County. Her ties run MUCH, MUCH deeper there than some up-and-coming political “star”. I don’t think Obama realizes just how badly he’s been used... Like a puppet on a string.
I see Rahm’s threat of going to Chicago and wanting Daley’s job kind of pushed things over the edge — I think it was intended as a “warning” of sorts. I think we’ve just seen the Daley Machine call Rahm’s bluff.
[See the post I put up in Breaking News though — the judge called an emergency meeting about 2 hours ago...]
Oh, and then we mustn’t forget that there is a mob connection with Obama and Rezko as well... Obama’s in trouble, for sure... I’m actually thinking now that Clinton (Bill) coming out and blaming the Tea Party for being like McVeigh might be a set-up for making all of this disappear, and gaining another liberal martyr.
Granted this is ALL speculation - and if this ISN’T what they’re planning... Then I need to write a dang book! :)
I hope these witnesses have some heavy duty protection!
As for ZERO it must be H E double hockey sticks trying to keep so many stories hidden from the light.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
One of Blago's right hand men is already dead - his name escapes me. He "committed suicide" by an aspirin overdose. Who commits suicide by taking too much aspirin?
