Is there a reason why we should believe one of the three statements suggested by Leslie Jo must be true?
Yeah, common sense…

Thanks, Jake. Keep asking questions so we can see how many times they get answered differently.

Blagojevich, Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Pfleger, Acorn…the list goes on. Obama is:
1. Corrupt and “in bed” with those in the list above
2. Unconcerned about what others do around him as long as he gets what he wants
or 3. Too stupid to know what’s going on.
Any one of these three things is unsettling.

David H writes, “It is reasonable to assume that Obama has been tied in with Blago and his schemes over the years. That is how Chicago politics seems to work. To save his own skin Blago will talk. When he does we can kiss goodbye to the Obama presidency.”
==================================
Only in YOUR world is it reasonable. In the ACTUAL world, you have a Congressman from Illinois who hasn’t met with the Governor of Illinois in YEARS. Yet in YOUR world, the Senator (who has been running for the Presidency for two years – LOL) keeps in touch. How pathetic is that?

Pres.-Elect Obama is quoted as saying “I was not aware of what was happening.” This man literally sees-no-evil, hears-no-evil, smells-no-evil even when he’s in the middle of it. We will witness a look and attitude of bewilderment when one voices concern that he may have been influenced by corrupt Chicago politics. One has to question that so many people attribute great intellect to man who seems so clueless, or perhaps it’s many of my fellow Americans who are clueless!

I am with Kravitz above — Blogo was a little too out there for his own good better to squash it in the beginning than be involved later on — the governor was on a ego trip to large for anyone to trust containment. It’s obvious from his “appreciate” statement that it wasn’t enough. I hope the media will now settle down to the facts and that no one is tainted except the governor.

TJ – You had to go back a few years to get reputable politicians from Illionis. Anyone that lives near Chicago knows how dirty the politicians are. I feel like I need a shower now just talking about it.

If no-one in Obama’s team knew anything , we should never have elected such a bunch of cretins – it is their job !

You forgot to mention Sarah Palin when listing public servants to disprove an assumption. You know, that public servant who actually has experience governing something that was so much a threat to Dems that they had to send an army to Alaska to find something to demonize her with (but couldn’t)?
