"No Comment" on Blago -- for How Long?

Mildred: If your talking about Obama you are so right. He stutters too much. Its only when he practiced a speech for a few hours that he doesn't stutter. Obama is no saint know the crooks he knew earlier. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers, Father P and Rezko whom he turned his back on after Rezko paid for l/2 of his home. That's the way Obama is. If his pals are in trouble, he runs. I believe he did talk to the Gov. and so did Emanuel exactly five or six times. And Obama didn't use his brains when he picked Jarrett, Richardson and Emanuel for his administration. Obama chose people from Clinton's administration because he knew he needed their help to run this country. He certainly don't qualify.

Tuning in late here, but to Lanny Davis: Forgive me for stating the bloody obvious, but whether it's in his interest to be completely transparent depends on what the truth is.

Mildred, you made that exact post almost an hour ago. What is wrong?

Bertie: He is saying right now, live, on his press conference that he had no contact with the Gov. "...ABOUT THESE ISSUES" i.e the Senate seat.

After which uh did he say this?
This guy can't put two words together
without saying UH......He just does
a great job of covering up.

Bertie you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Blago is a crook to be sure, but that does not make the entire state of Illinois' population a crook. It has been made considerably clear that Obama has had very little to do with Blago for some time. This country has much bigger things to worry about than who shook who's hand.

Lanny Davis is one stupid dude. I mean for real.

He shook hands with the guy that he was responsible for getting elected as Governor. Obama and Emanuel were co strategists on Blago's 2002 campaign. They knew him- get over it.

There are all kinds of documents that say Blagojevich intended to talk with Obama about the seat. The news report on the Governors conference says that he is planning to have a conversation with PEBHO about the economic situation in Ill. Unless Obama ran away from him these two had some conversations, and Hot Rod was interested in the topic of the senate seat.

I notice today Obama said the tapes show that his office was "not perceived by the governor's office as being amenable" to the crime. Actually no. Blagojevich and his advidors assumed that Obama would at least entertain at least three possible payoffs- an HHS post for Blago, setting up a 501c foundation for him to run, a cozy payoff through Change to Win.

Maybe its just Blago's twisted psyche. Or maybe the blackmailer knows his mark.

So Obama shook hands with 41 governors. Big deal.

I posted that because it says Blago called and congratulated Obama.

That is contact.

I guess the new maginot line is that the he had "no contact about the issue".

But all the people who were trying to defend "no contact" have to concede defeat.

Still if you read the complaint things look awfully funny. On Nov 10th Blago and his wife and advisers have a conference call where they discuss O putting his wife on boards and "monetizing " his relationship. So they are going off to his up PEBHO. That very night there is a CNN report that VJ has been withdrawn and will be staying with the transition team.

It definitely looks like there was contact.

When has Obama ever been transparent?

The fawning MSM has never required him to be.

When will accountability begin?

On November 5th the Governors office press release said"
"Governor Blagojevich Congratulates President-elect Obama and Discusses U.S. Senate Seat

Read it again. It does not state WHOM the governor spoke with about the senate seat.

Tapper gets action! Calls for Obama to talk and he does.

Obama is shocked, shocked to find out this sort of thing was going on. Never mind that it is par for the course.

The good part is "He said he had asked his staff to gather the facts of any contacts with the governor’s office about the vacancy."

I am going to assume that those facts will show up "t word" on the web as they are known rather than having someone sanitized them.

"So you mean his transistion team mentioned nothing to him about any discussions they may have had with the gov?"

The CHANGEling's job is to look pretty, and to stick out his jaw once in awhile and say "appropriate" on teevee -- not to worry his pretty little head about dirty ole politics.

At $750 million for the nomination, "Obama" sure seems like a complete crock of over-priced jive.

Ok even if you bite that Obama had no discussions with the Gov about any appointments his transition team probably did. So you mean his transistion team mentioned nothing to him about any discussions they may have had with the gov? Obama not only said he had no discussions with the gov but that he didnt know anything like this was going on. I choose to beleive that Obama is not that naive about his city's politics.

Stuttering again: a lot of blabla about premiums.

God forbid this liar should "bankrupt" anything, huh? He voted for the bailout that's bankrupted the country into longer than the future's likely to last, and he's worried about INSURANCE premiums?

Now Obama says he promised "process". That's not "change". What people want is National Health, something like HR 676.

Obama's a fraud.

There he goes again: Barky claiming he "ran" for the Illinois state senate. Obama didn't RUN, he ran off all the other candidates, Chicago style. Then Axelrod ran off Obama's US Senate opponent with a timely sex scandal.

Then the "Obama" machine bought the Democratic nomination, which thanks to Obama lookalike George Bush, carried the White House with it, this year.

Bertie: He is saying right now, live, on his press conference that he had no contact with the Gov. "...ABOUT THESE ISSUES" i.e the Senate seat.

William,

Do you concede the difference between 'no contact" and shaking hands?

And when did I say that he should be impeached? Can we at least ask questions about his obvious inconsistency?

The appointment of Daschle -- he's going to make "American companies more competitive" -- is an abomination, an absolute affront.

"Change"?? Oh bwah ha ha.

The stock market will crash for good. Just wait.

Meanwhile, anybody who fools with Obama's websites is really asking for it.
