Blago Set to Break His Silence

If he had anything on “The One” he would do best to get round the clock protection.

Democrats are the worst type of criminal. They will lock you up, for the same things they do. But it’s okay for them!

He will either get away with it, or end up at room temp when the new Chicago crime syndicate, I mean “new administration” takes office. Vince Foster times ten.
Congrats on your pick dems!

It will be the biggest waste of time, this press conference. He will admit to nothing, hold no one accountable, especially himself, and will probably still be Governor at the end of it all. He will not implicate Rahm Emanuel or Oshlockma, when every able-minded citizen is convinced that these schmucks had something to do with it. It’s typical politics as usual, the type of politics that Oshlockma said he wanted to “change”. This whole campaign to elect this schmuck has been one of the dirtiest campaigns to date. Typical Chicago politician who did whatever he had to do to win. Now Oshlockma is telling reporters to not continue with questions. This guy is not even in office and already we are seeing what he and his lying, cheating, corrupt friends are capable of doing. Get ready folks…four years of this is approaching. What a scam artist he has been. We were all fooled.

Why is it that the mainstream media don’t have teams of reporters doing to Blago what they did to Palin — or Joe the Plumber?
Conclusion: being in the tank for The One seems to mean that they have to be in the tank for Friends of Barack as well.

Does anyone find it ironic that the guy Obama told to save his questions yesterday was the very guy Blago was trying to get fired?

to this day I am still dumbfounded by the fact that he got reelected the first time. 4 years ago during the middle of his first term we already knew what a corrupt crook he is, but the chicago machine, erm excuse me, the people of illinois retained him.

He will claim some Republican held a gun on him & his wife and made them sniff glue, them told them what to say over the phone.

Daley – Blago – Rezko – Obama – Rahm….. Will the media finally look into the dealings of “The One” and the community he comes from? Obama likes to avoid the truth by claiming ignorance. I am surprized that a man who is thought to be so smart seems to know so little about what is going on around him. He is a joke.

Blaghole has had to have time to get his story straight with his attorney. Ditto with the Obama gang.

i invented chicago politics.

JEFF, I don’t find it ironic at all. This is the same display that Oshlockma put on during the campaign. Did we not forget Oshlockma shutting out certain newspapers that didn’t endorse him? Did we not forget what they did to Joe the plumber? Or how about the TV reporters in Florida and Pittsburgh? This is the typical gangland politics that we can all come to expect over the next four years. It’s sort of like Al Capone politics. Do as I say or you’re dead.

As a former Illinoisan I watch the politics there and I absolutely could not believe that such a reviled, despised governor already at the time, got re-elected! But he’s a young-ish looking Democrat with nice hair, all the Democrats will vote for him. (If he, or Obama, was fat, bald, or had a big nose, neither of them would be anyplace noteworthy. The Dem party is all about appearances. More and more, COURT appearances.)

This guy looks like a crook… I could have pegged him the day I saw him. Some people just have that look. I will bet money he is involved with The Ones little wessle chief of staff.

Obama is a thing of the PAST after the Governor speaks!

Did George Bush EVER treat the press the way this arrogant,ingrate has? And, he hasn’t assumed the office yet? The media in this country are getting just what they deserve. Though the media has attacked the man relentlessly over the last 6 years,Bush STILL shows them respect they DON’T deserve!Obamabots congratulations, you’ve elected the most arrogant bastard on the planet!

YOU CAN’T BLAME THE REPUBLICANS FOR THIS!
This whole thing would be funny if it wasn’t so dangerous.
Damn, if Canada were just warm like southern California…

Look at the picture of Obama on the front page of Drudgereport……A President of the United States looking like that GIVE ME A BREAK!
You did a good job media overlooking what really Obama is!

Obama is evil.

Oh Jeff, the real fun begins when Obama has to answer real questions. His life will be miserable in the white house. What you did to Bush, we will do to Obama. scandal after scadal after scandal…

Caeci caecos ducentes
The students in Greece have the right idea. Enough is Enough Stop the Madness all these obscurest only protect their own self interest. When will this country wake up and TAKE the power away from these Socialist Gangsters!
Deus Misereatur

Where is all the change and transparecy Obama promised? He appoints the exact same cabinent that McCain would have appointed, and now is stonewalling his involvement in a huge scandal!!!

$1000 DOLLARS

spill – drop the dime, guv!
sure hope he’s in p.c.

Democrats have no standards, morals, tradition, or sense of right and wrong. In the liberal mindset, there are no standards. That is why liberals tolerate everything except that which is a detriment to absolute free actions. For example, religion – Religion teaches boundaries, limits and codes to live by, of which the liberal cannot function with. This is why they hate religion, Christianity in particular. And in the case of Blago, he will not get in trouble because the entire polical structure of the state of Illinois is in the same mindset.

Let’s just hope the Governor lives to speak, hope he doesn’t go for any jogs in the park–I have a feeling this thing
is DEEP and I agree that Obama is looking very nervous and stressed and he
isn’t living at 1600 yet, I imagine this will pretty much be the scenario for the next 4 yrs. You just have to wonder where has the common sense in America gone?

You asked for it ….. you got it. Let’s just pray this nightmare only lasts 4 years.

Does the Governor of Illinois not sign bills into law? Ours does so he is a vital part of the law-making process. I feel really bad for the citizens of Illinois. I can’t believe their election process is legitimate since these crooks keep getting elected.

He won’t take, if he knows what is good for him.

This isn’t going anywhere.
Obama’s Chief of Staff was caught on tape 21 times talking to Blagojevich or his staff about filling the vacancy.
Somewhere, someone has figured out that to impeach Blagojevich and prosecute him will mean Obama will be exposed to be up to eyeballs in the corruption too.
America has been snookered by a con man and the people controling the propaganda havn’t yet recouped their investment they paid to get Obama elected.

He may blow the whistle on everybody to save his butt. Rahm and obama may not be clean. Lots of crooks in politics .
gata

Welcome to Chicago politics with a big heapin’ of socialist thought. Here’s a quiz: Who does Obama really want to please?
A) Mayor Daley; B) George Soros; C) Bill Ayers; D) Michelle Obama?
Okay, okay, it’s a hard one, but if you guessed “D” you are correct. She is more hard core Marxist than Obama, and she has a hold of one or more of his ample ears.
Imagine if she squealed? LOL
Hey, we’re euphoric here in Chicago — because we can get rid of him. Enjoy!

1000 dollars to name where Obama was born?
That’s easy…some hospital in Hawaii, right?
Wait let me google it.
…
Ok, ill try yahoo.
…
Ask Jeeves.
…
Hmmm. I cant seem to find anyone who seems to know where he was born, or who the doctor was.
And it seemed like such easy money.

“”"By the way, Oshlockma, is a STUPID nickname, stupid.”"”
I’ve always been partial to “OBOMBA”

I am appalled at how you people are treating that nice young man Rob. How dare you imply that he’s a criminal! He has been nothing but wonderful to me, my family, and friends. He is so kind and nice.
I have been a Democrat for over 40 years, and I can tell you that with the way these mean Republicans are treating our Governor, I will always be a Democrat.

Breaking News: Fitzgerald Disappears!!

xinunus: St. James Hospital, Honolulu, Dr. Ken Shibata
How do you want to forward my check?

Just to correct an obvious typo SHIRLEY, maybe you were blinded by his kindness his name is ROD not ROB!

It’s all part of “Hope and Change.”
“Gee, I _hope_ I don’t go to prison! I’ll as the judge at my trial for a _change_ of venue!”
Congratulations all you stupid old ‘mavericks’ and ‘centrists’ and ‘moderates,’ leaning across the aisle so far you pushed the whole country to the nonreciprocating left. You got the greasy finger of the Chicago machine into the oval office. I hope you’re satisfied now with your “historic” election. Maybe next time you can actually vote on the issues instead of solely on the color of a man’s skin.

Under the bus you go, Blago!
Gee, it’s crowded under there, isn’t it?

The Torpedo, Don’t you DARE call me dummmm!! You are the dummmmy to say that picture is COOL.
That is terrible, he is suppose to be Our President and to look like that, it is very uipsetting to know that the media did this to me and my country which I love.

dont forget rod’s wife patty signed on last minute on my deal with obama’s house to get a cut of the $$$ , follow patty’s real estate deals to find the crooks , and obama helped blago get elected twice

Perhaps Blago NEEDS to make a statement BEFORE January 20th or become the Vince Foster of his time…

Amen Brother Blago…Keep the faith!

Hey…wait a minute….how dare we question Oshlockma…it’s racist!!!!

also look into michelles job where she gets 300K to do nothing , just like rod wanted for patty ,, who got her that sweet deal , just after the one got elected in the state senate , this is much deeper than any of you could imagine , has been going on for years , just read john kass in the chicago tribune and you’ll know

William J. LePetomane, I’ll take the odds.
Google +Obama +”not corrupt” gets 3,440 hits where as +Obama +Corrupt returns 4,990,000 hits.
My family is from Chicago, you don’t get elected there unless you pay to play. If Blago spills the beans Obama’s not the only Chicago politician going down.
Don’t be surprised if Blago has a terrible automobile accident or natural gas explosion in his home in the next few days.
It’s the Chicago way.

HEY SHIRLY , its rod not rob ,, you must know him well

Charles:
McCain + Corruption = 3,560,000
more than Cheney = 2,720,000
so what? Any whack-job with access to the internet (witness right here) can make a claim of corruption. Get real.

Hey anton rezko, guess you did not have the dirt after all, huh? Your attempt to trade off info for reduced time did not work. You are already in jail. So how is life in the orange jumpsuit world?

Where was the press during the presidential campaign? Why, they were in Wasilla investigating Sarah Palin. And they were in Ohio investigating Joe The Plumber.
Why were they NEVER in Chicago investigating Obama, his background, and the Illinois politicians who helped him get where he is today? Answer: Because Barack Hussein Obama was a black Democrat.
It really is as simple as that.

The Blogster, will be put in a bird cage with Tony “the puppeteer” Rezko, and they will sing a chorus of corruption that will make even Jessie Jackson wince. The Feds will suddenly get a message to back off coming from the highest office in the land. If they don’t, don’t worry – Bush will pardon them for anything they MAY have done. Why, becuase Bush wil also be handing out pardons to Libby and many other insiders and he wants to divert the attention to pardoning Obama’s dog pound. What a way to make the dems squirm. Pardoning the possie of the new guy in town. Of course, the country can get focused on the economy and work and living rather than constant dredging of the Obama swampland. There is just way too much muck there from the fact that gove of Hawaii will for some reason NOT unlock a vault with the ‘real’ birth certificate of the Kenya-born Obama to the fact that Bill Ayers wrote Obama’s biography. It’s all a hoot that the dems and libs and college students elected a flea-bitten President. Flea-bitten you ask? Yep. When you ly down with dogs you wake up with fleas. Bush has the only true flea-powder left. :)

Apparently YOU Dem’s didn’t VET Barry properly.

This outrageous, liberal Democrat “buy” a Senate seat scandal occuring before Barry’s Presidency makes the Valerie Plame leak look like a made up insignificant Liberal media driven non-story. Oops, that’s exactly what it was. Sorry.

Corruption that rivales third world countries!!!!! Main stream media more like the soviet news agencies: mouth pieces for The One!!!!!!!

Has he made a deal with Rahm Emanuel and Obama yet? I won’t spill the beans and you guys let me off. Chicago style.

76% approval rating for what?
All I have seen is him come sneaking out from behind a curtain since Nov.5 with a guilty look on his face.

Funny I did not hear back from Charles, once he revealed himself as a “Hillary 2012″ person, and I told him that:
Hillary + Clinton + Corruption yielded
2,520,000 hits!

Hillary is probably done as a pres. candidate anyway. Especially if Caroline Kennedy becomes Senator. Hillary on the way down, Caroline on the way up.

As usual everyone has an opinion but no one, but no one, knows for sure what the hell is going on. We the long suffering public, the guy who pays the bills, will never really know what went on. We are lied to by straight faced politicians whose stock in trade is lie,
lie, lie. You can assume, guess and speculate but you will never be privy to the truth. There is far too much at stake to allow the truth to come out. We will be told half truths and downright lies, time will pass and memories will fade but the seemy side of politics will continue. Where there is money there is corruption and where is there more money than in the ability to tax. You’re being scammed at every turn and you can’t do jack about it. The glib tongue of the politician and the readiness of the electorate to believe are a deadly combination. The politicians, (Government), just keep stumbling along and we keep paying the bill. I know thisis not a happy posting but that’s just the way it is, get use to it. Don’t expect Blago to say anything that remotely resembles the truth.

I sense that Hillary and Bill are behind this and have more to orchestrate as the weeks go on! It is not nice to mess with “Mother Hillary”.

Once Blago starts singing and Rezko joins him for the chorus, it’s going to come out that the Chicago Tribune tipped off Obama that Blagojevich was under investigation.
Regardless, the media will still circle its wagons around Obama (then again, being faced with President Biden doesn’t sound too appealing).

I’m stricken dumbfounded by some of the posts here. The posters have to be high on crack to assert that someone who Blago clearly said was only going to give him appreciation is involved in some corrupt way. Clue to Repubs: if he says “He’s giving me a million dollars”, that means he’s corrupt. If he sayd “f—- him”, that means he’s not corrupt. Another one of these posts says Dems get away with things….let me see Elliot Spitzer (D), caught hiring hookers, has to resign. Sen. David Vitters (R-La) caught hiring hookers, still in office. Larry Craig (R-Id) convicted of solicitation in a men’s room, still in office. What are you fantasy land escapees talking about??? Then there’s the Vince Foster conspirators. Hey, how ’bout the 20$ bill and 9/11? Hey, Bush and Cheney planned 9/11 because they knew in 1999 the X Files were going to fix the election! And the planes flying into the World Trade Center were drones and the people on the planes are actually the cast of Lost! And John McCain wasn’t born in the USA either! Wow! Get all the theories out now!!!

JWayne: you are correct. Guess U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald forgot that. Maybe he had a brain-freeze when he said Obama and his team were not subjects of the investigation? Could not be any other reason for him to say that, like no evidence?

Same old democrat story! I’m sure when Obama gets into office he’ll fire the federal prosecutor and the case will mysteriously disappear. That’s the way democrats work. Wonder why the article left out the fact that the prosecutor is investigating democrats? Sure is interesting they remind us in their articles and stories every time if a person in trouble is a republican, but if it is a democrat they leave that information out. Boy, I tell you what, they are trained well, just like robots. They aren’t even allowed to think for themselves.

Perhaps a good story would be to ask Blago:
*This is a question they DON’T want you to be aware of and ask*
Exactly what funds retained his PRIVATE lawyer and BAIL that was posted?
His own private money? Or the State’s money?

would love to see him go down but I worry about Fitz’s integrity who seems to be hell bent chasing convictions when nothing is there, ala Plame being outed when 90% of those who could read already knew who she was because she had told the media………….

ScoobySleuth – While there is some truth to “You become like those you associate with”, it is not always true. For example, children of alcohoic parents, abusive parent, or parents with multiple marriages often grow up to be just like them. But I know quite a few people that grew up in these situations and refused to be like their parents. The same is true of kids that grow up in gang areas. Some kids learn they want no part of this lifestyle and grow up to be entirely different. Obama grew up with a single mom because of his father and stepfather abandoned the family. The stepfather force Islam on him. He ended up being raised by his grandparents. During the shakey teen years, he had to deal with being a black with white grandparents and no parent involvement. Not exactly a candidate to go to college and recieve an advanced degree with honors. Maybe is involved in illegal activity in Illinois. Or maybe he has judgment to only take on the good qualities in people. I assume he is innocent until proven guilty. Right now there is no evidence at all that he is guilty and some evidence that he is probably not guilty.

Amazing! the media is just remaining silent! at one point on the campaign trail, there were over 425 reporters requesting open records on palin….in the past 48 hours……in Illinois and chicago…25

Paul in NJ: “Why is it that the mainstream media don’t have teams of reporters doing to Blago what they did to Palin — or Joe the Plumber?” because you are doing it for free!

Hey Nick, I was ready for it… I know Republicans will get Obama and the Democrats… but this was the same guilt by association that have been hurled to Obama during the campaign. The majority of the people know better…

It’s not likely that any of this will stick to Obama. Some of the suspects may try to trade informaton about his Resco dealings or other criminal activities but his media support and the worship of the ovine electorate pretty much give him carte blanc.

To Derek S. were the hell have you been, have you been asleep since last January wake up take your head out of the sand and look.
One of the only thins that the press reported on the One, is that he practiced dirty politics to get his seat in the Illinois Senate, just as he practiced dirty politics to get the US Senate seat.
He no better then any other Illinois Democrats, he lies, cheats and steals, and he is part of the Democratic Machine. He fits right in with Rod and Daily and you are just to dumb to open your eyes and see it, I do fill so sorry for you poor miss be gotten child.

I can buy your argument for kids in situations of influence by adults where they had no alternative or relied on them for their survivial, but as an adult you have the ability to walk away – you know the difference between right and wrong and if you choose to continue to associate with people who are known to be extreme radicals, terrorists, communists, socialists, etc. then you are not only condoning their behaviour, but agreeing with it as well by choosing to accept it. Obama’s continued explanation when questioned about these associations he claimed disagreement with their views – PULEEEZ! You dont’ site in a church pew for 20 years and listen to a pastor you don’t agree with. Guilty by association because he accepted the extrement views of those around him.

Sorry William J. LePetomane but I had to do something important like feed the chickens.
Hillary don’t pretend to be holier than thou as your messiah does.
Hillary would a been a better president and will prove it soon as the thugocracy from Chicago does it’s best to wreck the party.

Why is the Illinois legislature wasting taxpayers money holding these lame and useless impeachment inquiry hearings? It won’t go anywhere.
My God, the Lawyer representing Speaker Madigan on behalf of “The People” sounds like an idiot. He spent his whole time reading quotes from a complaint filed by Fitzgerald last week. What’s he trying to prove? That Blago is a crook? What? They didn’t know that years ago?
Let the process on the Federal level work. All the State Legislature is doing is grandstanding and making themselves look like blithering fools.

BOO,
Do you have proof of that? You know you don’tso no money for you.

I did not have conversations with that man………Governor Blogojevich.

Can’t we just send him to the Hague t appear before the Interntional Tribunal for Corrupt Illiois polticians and he can defend himself without taxpayer expense like his hero Slobodan Milošević?

Perhaps the Gov. will tell the “truth”
to save himself AND TAKE OBAMA DOWN
WITH HIM
TELL THE TRUTH GOV. ROD. Don’t take the hit for THEM (or him)
God Bless America

This scandal is making me stress eat!!!!

Tell me please, what’s not to hate about Obama? He’s a phony, a liar and he’s black. Sounds like a trifecta to me!

When is Obama’s next press conference? I love it when he panics every time a reporter asks him about his Blago cover-up. Obama gets nervous every time someone speaks Truth to Power!!!

shame, shame, shame and as usual libs are up to their ears in dirt. I wonder if Blago will expose Obama of their wrong doings. I hope America will finally see how she was conned.

Wouldn’t be ironic if Blago appointed a republican as senator.

Who is John Galt?

Eric Stratton: you were good in Animal House.

The dems will own the scandals for 4 years. It’s called Karma!

The thing is, he’s right. For some baffling reason the authorities stepped in BEFORE he actually committed the crime. So technically, he’s got a case.
Can’t help wondering why the prosecutor would do a thing like that….

Why is the media not resporting that Obama is bi? This should be huge news!

I heard that Obama killed Laura Palmer. After all, it was on the internet!

Where EXACTLY was Obama on the day Jimmy Hoffa disappeared?

Obama used to go to the Rev. Jim Jones’s church!

William,
If you can’t see the lies and hypocrisy then you are truly BLIND as well!! I have been saved for a very long time and have NOTHING TO HIDE, not today not tomorrow or for eternity. I’ll pray for you since by your choice of words, you’re eternal destination is in question. If you go to church, it doesn’t make you a Christian, especially when you carry around the little Hindu monkey god named Hannamun for good luck. Because really He will need more than just luck!! and so do you as we all do!! You’re on the prayer list!!

Dear Torpedo,
The picture on Drudge is but one of many on the TIME site! Read the article, and click on the Time picture link Obama in College. Yep, that is Time’s Man of the Year!

No Grand Jury preceeding prosecution, no legal standing.
Question: “Was O.J. Simpson properly indicted before his prosecution?

Concerned in Texas: Read Matthew 18.
I don’t need you to pray for me and do not want you to. You are obviously like the rest of the hypocritical religious right: intolerat, judgmental, condeming and the antithesis of Jesus Christ.

William,
You have a VERY DISTORTED view of the “religious right” just like most on the Left. I’ve read most of the Bible and like I said before…you’re still on the list…like it or not!!

It concerns me that Blago is smiling… My guess is he cut, the “One” and Rahm cut some sort of hush-hush deal with the FBI in exchange for favors down the road. Let’s not forget, this is Chicago, and everything’s for sale.

Residents of Illinois -
Regardless of what will be allowed in court or not, your governor has shamed your state and disrespected each and every citizen. The lawyers and lawmakers are dancing around the facts and it’s pretty simple: Blago is bad news. Recall him, impeach him, throw him out of the Office. He doesn’t deserve to represent you and sure sounds like he’s only out to serve himself at the expense of voters and taxpayers.
Demand that he be removed. Anything other than this is a disgrace to your state and this country. Elected leaders should be public servants. And this guy is a snake who is looking out for #1.
Best of luck, Illinois.

I give it ten seconds before someone posts that Obama bought-off the Illinois Supreme Court. LOL.

Blagojevich is guilty as Hell. This Giy is a Real Dirt Bag from Hell. The Taxpayers of Illinois should stone this guy to death.

Obama is an arrogant, corrupt a$$hole, just like Blogo.

The post calls Blago a “reclusive lawmaker.”
Governors are not “lawmakers” but legislators are.
Maybe somebody can fix it.
“reclusive state executive” or just “reclusive governor” would work.

Dems to blame Bush for this in 5,4,3,…

You people are disgusting–seriously. What? Can’t handle just the thought that you MIGHT get a taste of what we’ve had to suffer the past eight years? After what you people inflicted on the rest of us & this country over the past eight years and would have treated us to at for least four more years, had you gotten your way, you’re in no position to cast stones, so why don’t you try channeling some of this energy toward good instead of evil for a major change?

Residents….fax, email and call your state senators and representatives. Let them know you are paying attention and how you want this handled. Don’t assume that “someone else” will take care of the problem. Only THE PEOPLE truly solve the problems of this country. Our government creates more problems. Example: Illinois Supreme Court.
The nation is watching how YOU will handle your state’s “leadership” crisis. Demand justice.

No matter how many times dems want to bring up Bush, Delay, Craig – none of those people are as remotely close to Blago than your President Elect is.
Merry Fitzmas!! :)

The Chicago machine is all powerful! Look what it was able to do for Obama. You just had better not cross them. The almightly machine goes back many decades. I find it all so amusing. I have no sympathy for the citizens since they have supported this all along.

I’m innocent. Go Cubs!!

Blago… he was in Rocky IV, right?

They will all come out smelling like a rose….remember these are democrats, they are above the law no matter how much stink is on them, they are untouchable…and they have a willing crooked liberal media to help them out as much as they can…the next 4 years are going to be something to behold….Wasington was already crooked enough, but now we also have the Chicago mafia machine sitting in the White House along with his croonies.

I hope Blago appoints Keyes or Ditka as Senator! That would be priceless!

The charges against IL governor appeared to be shallow, flimsy and a set up at best. I suspect some kind of collusion by Chicago Tribune and other enemies of the governor having some hands directly or indirectly in his predicament. Vengeance and vicious politics begets vengeance and vicious politics. This cut-throat dance of the swords is commonplace in Chicago and this governor is a victim of his own messy environment.
Rarely do you see a newspaper so embroiled with the state chief executive and at the same time negotiating with US Attorney’s office on when to publish a “secret” wiretap on their front page. This case is kind of bizarre. From many newspaper accounts, I see some joint coordination between Chicago Tribune and US Attorney’s office, even though this IL governor is no angel by any stretch of your imagination.
What the governor is being accused of doing is not an abrasion; it is neither unusual nor extra-ordinary especially in US politics. In all state capitals and corridors of power in this nation, similar deals are cut daily and virtually on all issues. It is called lobbying, fundraising and interest peddling. Apart from political damage, getting a conviction here is even harder without actual funds exchanging hands. Merely discussing these things does not constitute commission of the actual crime.
To add salt to injury, as the bad press makes the governor radioactive, it is a full season for those that want to be declared saints overnight from the filth called Chicago. It is shameful for State assembly to jump to conclusion before the investigation is even concluded. It is even crazy for the stat AG to invoke unrelated constitutional power in declaring the governor persona non-grata. All these bizarre actions are self centered, self serving and self promotion that have politics written all over it instead of the rule of law.
Unfortunately, our laws allow these shenanigans that IL governor is accused of and have very few gray areas which any defendant can work gingerly. It is just that there is too much bad blood in Chicago and corrupt reputation of its politicians, if not no one will hear about this. Sadly, Chicago does not possess the exclusive monopoly to this kind of shady deals and pay to play schemes. To claim surprise is disingenuous and dishonesty at best. In the same vein, to exaggerate and make a huge mountain out of this ant-hill is stupid. Well, except to score political points and settle old scores.
I suggest, we let the investigation run its course and the man his day in court. No one should be foolish enough to throw the first stone at this man no matter how blatant his accusers want a pound of his flesh. He is not a saint neither are the AG’s office and the State Assembly. Gov. Roy did what comes natural in the dirty profession aka politics.

Is Mr Blago going to blow the whistle on his crooked buddies, including Mr Obama? After all,Mr Obama seems to have turned his back on his old buddy now that he’s “made it”. Oh yeah, I forgot; Mr Obama will have a statement ‘next week’. Why not now, or does he have to ‘work it out’?

Dear Mr. Fitzgerald,
Please excuse Blago from all of the taped admissions he has made implicating himself and the entire Chicago syndicate, I mean political elite, in a pay to play scandal. He was under the influence of some fresh air which recently blew through Chicago for a change.
Signed,
Juan Epstein’s Mother

We need to remember that, according to the U.S. Constitution, a President has the power to grant pardons but not for individuals who have been impeached. Hmmm!

My suggestion to Mr. Blago is this. If he wants to use the easiest way to get out of jail free with the media, just blame Bush. It worked for the Senate and Congress.

Sick of this Obama mania and his mobsters. The problem is they haven’t even taken office yet….

I guess the ONLY reason he won’t step aside is the Bush won’t pardon him as he did Libby.

Many Obama supporters are very vocal about how he is not implicated in this case and has done nothing wrong. That may well be the case. But why did Obama endorse Blago in his last run for gov, even when he was under federal investigation. At the least, Obama is a terrible judge of character and ignorant of what is going on around him.

One party rule always brings on rot.
See the cities of Boston, Chicago and San Francisco. Three VERY corrupt, lazy city workers.(Bonus for New Jersey and Rhode Island)

HE WILL BE VINDICTED!!!!!! THERE IS NOTHING HE DID WRONG JUST MAKING A PHONE CALLL!!!!!!!!!
_____________
Wire fraud and influence peddling is not a crime in Illinois?

Obama is up to his turban on this one. He lies about every association he’s ever had in his life in order to cover up his extreme anti America agenda. Who knows how deep Barry is with Gov. Blago and the rest of the lice invested corruption that is Illinois politics. You Libs are so gullible… Change We Can Believe In!! Woo-hoo!

it’s funny the dems that voted for the one, sure are making us rep’s look brilliant, we know a freaking liar when we see one, but we will sit back and watch the show now, 3 ring circus anyone, plus it sucks for us we have to wait until he is chucked out or 4 more years before we can get this country going again, dems saying in 8 years(as if) are freaking off their rocker,

What a waste of time.
What was US Atorney listen in on? Political bargining, job or a vote, or contributions or fund rasing or position here or there, so what. If there is cash to individuals, then listen away. Otherwise drop the tap and go after some Wall Street guy who stole 50 billion or something that will benifit us.
If one had a tap on any elected offical long enough you could find enough for a self rightous headline.
Blago is a creep but he is Il’s creeep, enough already

This dude is sooooooooooooooo toast!

It is always amazing to me that people who claim they are Americans want to convict people without evidence. Rumor and distortion of the truth are good enough to them. There are idiots on all sides of issues and candidates. They made up things about Bill Clinton and wanted everyone to believe it. Another group of idiots did the same thing to GW Bush. People have been doing it ever since Obama won the first contest in Iowa. All presidents have flaws, but people don’t have to lie and distort to create imaginary flaws. I don’t think this is what our founding fathers were hoping for 200 years after starting this country. They hoped we would be educated and spend most of our time talking about real issues and not rumors and distortions.

They made up things about Bill Clinton and wanted everyone to believe it.
Like which one of the women he sexually assaulted or what?

killerbee sez, “We’re not stupid, y’ know.”
I dare you to prove that!

Dear MikeMo1947,
Exactly what things were “made up” in regards to Bill Clinton?
And, what does Bill Clinton have to do with Obama and his widely known relationship with Blago?

oh, give it up whiners. Chicago will NEVER be a city ruled by Republicans. Whine, whine, whine..

If it turns out to be true, that on the tape Blago was simply expressing his frustration that that the Obama team was pressuring him to appoint Obama’s selection to the senate seat – then that opens a whole new can of worms. I predict charges being dropped very soon.

76% approval rating, nationally. Yesterday.
Stick that up your right-wing as*es.

This just goes to show how stupid and brainwashed the majority of Americans are. 76% approval rating…and he hasn’t done anything yet! He has no job right now but they approve! I bet you more than half of the people in this country have no idea Obama hasn’t become President yet. Wait a minute…that actually proves Bush must being doing a good job. People THINK Obama is already Pres so if they approve 76% of the job the Pres is doing then they’re actually saying Bush is doing a good job. How is my analysis wrong? Either they believe Bush is doing a good job or these “approval rating polls” have always just amounted to a personality contest. Isn’t it funny. Obama hasn’t affected a single policy, but people already think the government is doing a better job. Yeah…William. You really proved something with that post.

Harry Truman (president when you were born) gave away E. Europe, nuked Japan and fired the best military commander of his time. At least George Bush freed an entire country of a dictatorial regime…even if they’re too stupid to be aware of it. BHO has run around with nobody but crooks, liars, and drug buyers…76% of Americans are stupid what can I say?

A New Constitutional Amendment:
Supporting Article II, Section 1
Over the course of the 2008 presidential cycle BasicsProject.org researchers came to the startling conclusion that while the prerequisites for holding the office of President of the United States are set forth in Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution there is no mechanism for enforcing or verifying a candidate’s satisfaction of those requirements.
Article II, Section 1 specifically states:
“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”
Yet, nowhere in the US Constitution is there authorization for a mechanism to assure that Article II, Section 1 is satisfied; there is no constitutional mechanism in place — either in the original document of in any of the amendments — that requires a candidate for the office of President of the United States to file documents proving his eligibility to hold office.
In light of this startling revelation, BasicsProject.org has set in motion an initiative to put into place, through the power of a Constitutional Amendment, a mechanism that would require candidates for the offices of the President of the United States and Vice President of the United States to present an original, first-source, vaulted birth certificate to the President Pro Tempore of the US Senate no later that forty-eight (48) hours after receiving his political party’s nomination.
Further, this Constitutional Amendment would require said candidates to provide all military, scholastic, financial, criminal records in total, along with relevant medical records, to an open source archive to be certified by the Library of Congress and maintained by the National Archive.
This endeavor will not be achieved easily and it will not be done without financial sacrifice for the effort. It will be met with the full resistance of the political establishment, both in the elected class and from those ensconced in inside-the-beltway institutionalism. But true patriots, true Americans, those who care about passing the promise of liberty and freedom — the promise of America — to their children and their children’s children understand that it is our duty to protect the Charters of Freedom — The Declaration of Independence, The US Constitution and The Bill of Rights — from nefarious forces.
Patriots! A call to arms!

Another Democrat Dog and Pony show.
It ain’t who Blago knows, it’s who Blago blows.
Bareback Yomama is going to hose the motherland even worse than Darth Cheney and Chimpy McWarhardon

ALL Democrats in Chicagoland…no Republicans to blame. Awww, poor AP.

P.S. 76% approval is not of him, its what he is doing as President elect – big deal.
And 51% disapprove of how he is handling Blagogate.

Born on back alley in East LA, you ‘now what I mean bro?

Politicians are blood suckers all, but the worst are the so-called journalists. If this is what freedom of the press brings, then get rid of it and democracu too, and let’s give totalitarianism a chance – at least you have a possibility that it will be a benevolent dictatorship. What we have now is the absolute pits – these people should be shot, one and all.
As for who should be dictator, I’m not sure – the only person I could trust is my sister and she’s not interested – I mean what idiot would be even WANT to be President?

Finally the Illnois Supreme Court refused to hear anything to do with the “Witch Hunt” the idiots at the Illinois AG Office tried to initiate. The Cracket Jack Box educated Attorney’s at the AG’s Office are obviously not familiar with the analogy of innocent until proven otherwise. Now why should he be removed from office when he has not been convicted of a crime nor has he entered a guilty plea? And by the way, the Grand Jury issues indictments against anything that is breathing.

YEESSSS indeed – but you forgot “self-annointed”, as this usurper has yet to 100% prove he is truly eligible to hold the office of the POTUS per Article II, Section 1 of the “supreme law of our land”…ooops, forgot, the true mESSIAH is beholden to NO law save his own benevolence that we hope he will be so kind as to bestow upon us minions of HIS state….what ever happened to outrage.
tHE oNE’S upcoming sequel books?
2) “The Audacity of Transparency…NOT!”
3) “Musings of My Maternal Grandmother…who was present at my birth!”
Time Person of the Year – I’m surprised they didn’t use the picture that shows him with a halo.
As for Blago: I hope he has some real hot and abrasive facts to share that finally burn the teflon off of Obama’s persona. His Anointed Kenyan Majesty makes me want to puke.

You must be every bit the 76% American that is STUPID!!!

This si going to end up with Obama in an orange jumpsuit- mark my words. A titanic struggle between Illuminati factions for world control, starting in Chicago.
Did Obama rat out Blagojevich? Will Blago rat out Obama in return? What has/will Rezko say? It’s a stinking mess, and it looks like the O-zone is as corrupt as the Carlyle Group. Change as usual!!! The whole schmeer is coming down, we’ve entered the twilight zone…

Mikemo1947
So why is it he posted a forged B.C. again?
And why you are explaining this explain the problems with the selective service application and card.
Try not to blow too much smoke.

Chicagoans: Has Blago’s wife ever been investigated about the Obama/Rezko land deal? She was the real estate agent that facilitated the transaction, right?

cuda – As far as your claim “he posted a forged B.C.” and “the problems with the selective service application and card”, it is not my job to prove your claims are false. It is your side that needs to prove the claims are true. Your side claims there have been over 20 lawsuits filed over this issue. Why couldn’t you find one judge that said these claims are true, therefore lets bring this to trial to find out if he was born in the US. None of the judges found any evidence to cause doubt. There are many people who claim our judges go too far to the right and others too far to the left. So how come out of 20 lawsuits you cannot find a judge to act on what you claim. Again, you have to assume that this is a great mastermind plan that Obama put together to control all branches of government at both state and federal level. Don’t you think his political opponents wanted to win. With all their connections, they would have known if he had a legitimate B.C. or that there was some cover-up in place to prevent their connections from finding out. Get real. Get some common sense.

To jaylee above, the Obama campaign is not the one who did anything to Joe the Plumber, it was McCain, who brought him up a total of I think nearly 20 times in debate, and the PRESS that delved into his life. Not Obama, get that, not Obama or his team. That info was released but Obama continues to be blamed.
Seems like Abc readers are not well informed.
