1. That quote from Blago is gold for Obama.

[ShortnFiery]

3. Yes, and some would wonder if it's a little too convenient?

Something doesn't fit. But I'll STFU and let you enjoy this Rahm and Barack lovefest till I put my finger on what STINKS.

Have a good one. I'll let you party now. :hi:

[This One]

4. No one's wondering that but the right wing conspiracy theorists

[ShortnFiery]

7. I'm not a right winger, but I know Rahm made millions of dollars in the Stock Market

in only a few years as an Investment Banker.

The DLC loathes the LIBERAL wing of the democratic party - I always "wonder" when it comes to proven right wing Democratis.

Call me silly. ;)

11. Blagojevich is NOT even close to being the "liberal" wing of the party

The mafia kneecap-breaking wing, maybe.

[ShortnFiery]

13. I'll take that under advisement as I do "more goggle" ...

:blush:

15. I have the misfortune to live in his state

He cares about his Chicago cronies and Chicago big business that can give him lots of $$$. That's it. He throws out some "liberal" bones once in a while to appease the activists, but Blago is out for Blago.

The Green party candidate got 13% of the gubernatorial vote in 2006 because people here are so disgusted with Blago and his George Ryan crony Republican opponents. Politics in this state is a complete sewer and neither party is "clean."

6. hmmmm! i like a doubting thomas, but why exactly do you feel the hebegeebees here?

10. Oh, Lord. So you are another one who wants Obama to somehow be implicated.

Nice.

[marshall]

19. Somebody's head will probably roll, but this quote is a blessing for Obama

There is the possibility if not the implication that somebody on staff was at least giving face time to Blago and/or his goons. If it was Rahm and he's the one who turned them in (or even Rezko, as is the rumor) and no one else knew, then everyone's safe.

2. I think we made a great choice for President n/t

[CitizenPatriot]

5. My understanding from the articles I've read thus far

is that this quote came from wirer-tappings of conversations Blag was having with close friends, not a quote he gave out as a statement. If this is true, then Obama can certainly take pride in smelling a stinker and saying NO to Blag.

that's what happens when you're smart and ethical. See, Palin, you really can avoid things like your staff not reporting your extra income. It's called management. Executive experience? yeah, baby.

[progressoid]

8. That wasn't "fortunately" for Obama

Fortune implies luck. This was because of a deliberate and intelligent choice by the Obama team. Not fortune.

9. "Luck is the residue of design."

12. Too late. Freepers are already convinced that Obama's in the tank with Blago

And we all know how prophetic their investigative and processing skills are. :eyes:

[Just-plain-Kathy]

17. You have to hand it to the repukes....they sick to democrats like glue....

...they will never let a dem get away with anything. I wish our guys would be more like them in that way. Bush and Cheney would be behind bars by now.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Couldn't ask for better advertising.

[FLAprogressive]

16. K + R....this oughta shut up Fixed News for a bit....

18. best post of the day

20. Thankyou Democracy1st! n/t.
