Emanuel Discussed Obama Shortlist with Blago Staff

Dear RNC, As previously reported, the prosecuter in this case specifically asked Obama not to release information regarding any contacts between his office and the governor untill all interviews were completed. Swiftboating is out of fashion this year, dear RNC. Why don't you stick to arguing facts and issues instead of trying to smear our President Elect?

Seems the right hand (Obama) did not know what the left(Emanuel) hand was doing or saying!

I would bet Emanuels hand was slapped....

But Obama can technically say he personally had no contact and stand by that statement.

Lesson learned...your honeymoon with the press is over...watch your step as they will be watching from now on!

Also convenient timing that both Emanuel and Obama of course are unavailable for comment at this time!

On Thursday, December 18, 2008 (the President-Elect) was interviewed by Federal officials.

Isn’t this breaking news?

Hopefully there won't be a Republican party next time around.

Case closed. Continuing arguing on this will not take anyone anywhere.

Its time to move on and we do not need to waste precious time on something which no one will benefit from it!!!!

Based on the limited amount of comments to this "not so juicy" news story, it appears that those who don't like Obama have little to say now...

Okay: You all happy now?

Obama is in the clear; and now he along with his staff can focus on governoring.......

This is probably a sad day to Sean Hannity and his gang @ Fox News....and you too Rush L.

Inside report, lets wait and see what federal final reports says from AG.

this is new -having Obama investigate himself. It's really surprising that he cleared himself and his people. Nixon should have investigated himself on watergate.

Conant's comment was just standard political rhetoric. The DNC chairman would have said the same thing if a Republican was in Obama's position.

Some day the voters might realize most, if not all, of the "he said, she said" and the "who's to blame" games are just political posturing and mean nothing to the so-called leaders in Washington. They're designed to inflame the less-than-insightful voters.

Sadly, it works with far too many people.

I like the Republican party the way it is. The our-way-or-the-highway wingnuts from "real America" have taken it over. Those folks will force the GOP to run Palin types the next two or three presidential elections, which candidates will lose to centrist Democrats who govern with brains not baseball bats.

It is clear in this report, that Obama did not want to push for any one person to replace him. Emanuel did suggest one person. But after discussing it with Obama, he suggested several names as possibilities. Obama was not asked to do an internal investigation and release it, but Obama did it anyway and only held off releasing the results after the prosecuter asked him to. Obama did more than required and fully cooperated with the prosecuter. They did their report without the aid of the tapes so it will be easy to verify if what they said is incorrect. I don't see any attempt to hide anything. Of course that won't stop radicals from having some theory of how all this was bogus and he is a criminal like all democrats and liberals.

I am willing to put up for the next four years for the "clueless" president-elect and waiting for my "stimulus" check to arrive.

I guess the Medias aren't "in love" with Obama any longer and are willing to expose any "corrupted" activities to the general public. WOW, what a change of heart!

For all Obama supporters out there, I am giving Obama the SAME courtesy that you gave George W. Bush.

After 8 years of Bush-Cheney stonewalling legitimate and lawful document requests and subpoenas from the press and Congress, it takes some major league chutzpah for the RNC to issue this statement. But then right after greed, Repubes do hypocrisy better than anyone.

Bombshell: Obama, Rahm and Jarrett interrogated by US Attorney office last week

John M - Why is that a bombshell? Obama was asked to hold off on his internal report for a week. He did and released in. If there were a bombshell,then there could have been some indication in the report since it was released after the "interrogation" by the US Attorney office. We have been told from a number of sources that they are not under investigation. Are you sure it was described as an "interrogation" or is someone just spinning the facts?

Gee!!! Wonder how long it took them to write the "SCRIPT" for that?? Also it seems like |Osama| is really rubbing it in on the people who are struggling and trying to make ends meet, after losing their jobs.

i dont care if your a repub or a dem, i am troubled when a president elect and his administration run on a change we can believe in platform is neck deep in chicago style politics. obama etal knew tis was unethecial and perhaps illegal and does nothing until cayght on tape? what about stopping a crime? good luck to us all with barak the amateur. you libs are a piece of work. most conservatives realize and admonish the dirty deeds of the bush administration.what next carolin kennedy,bidens son, jessee jackson jr...cronyism at its best...change we can believe...hah

It would be strange if Obama did not have an opinion on who should get his senate seat. Seems perfectly OK to me. Please tell me what is wrong here.

While the republican Xtians are worrying about Obamas birth certificate let the rest of us get on trying to get the USA out of the Cheney/Bush mess

Was Obama's interrogation last week done under oath?

Right, he is the last angel standing, so self-righteous, so honest and so holy, only time can tell if Bush will have the last laugh.
