There is only one link worth reading. All the rest is speculation, innuendo and assumption driven by some twisted delight people have to connect Obama to the scam. The only mention of a "connection" is a meeting an Obama staffer had with the governor to give him a list of recommended people to fill the Senate seat. This is perfectly normal given President Elect Obama is the head of the Democratic Party. It should be noted, the governors name was not on the list. It should also be noted, political insiders have stated Obama had a strong dislike for Blagojevich and kept a distance between them.

The Attorney General has made it very clear there is nothing to tie Obama to the scam. But hey, what does he know!

Very likely? You've got to be kidding.

What a tangled web we weave...eh?

Read about the Real Housewives of Crook County

“Michelle Obama, wife of the Democratic U.S. senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama, was a special guest that day (even though the news had just broken about Rezko’s participation in a funky real-estate transaction involving the Obamas’ Hyde Park home). The fashion show attracted little if any media coverage, which may have been exactly as its organizers and sponsors had hoped. Just three weeks earlier, Tony Rezko had been indicted on charges of extorting kickbacks from businesses seeking contracts from the Blagojevich administration.”

Heh...she just can't help herself! Check out this site MO is pimping...

Too bad most of us have to attend to our regular jobs that day. Perhaps she can get some of her crack-ho beatches who live off welfare (the dole) and do something for her "cause", eh?

well done norton.

The only 'smoke' is from Republican blogs! Blag and Obama where never close, they don't even like each other. The law enforcement agency involved has already said Obama is not implicated in any way.

Has Bill Ayers been made Director of Homeland security yet?

...there is gossip.

Jet Gorgon · 16-12-2008, 08:00 AM

^ C'mon. Rahm or BO already said they had discussed favs for the senator seat with Blago. Why not just admit it and get on with it? That would be the smart thing to do and keep everyone from guessing otherwise. Now it looks like they're trying to cover something up. Welcome Chicago-style politics to the WH.

sabang · 16-12-2008, 08:04 AM

I hardly need welcome Republican bloggers and conspiracy theorists to TD.

Jet Gorgon · 16-12-2008, 08:10 AM

^ We're entrenched already. No need for another welcome.

It would be if it was true.

Jet Gorgon · 16-12-2008, 08:25 AM

^ Course it is. You think they're gonna let Jesse Jackson, Jr buy it?

spiff · 16-12-2008, 08:45 AM

So, "discussing favs"=corruption. Hmm...

Jet Gorgon · 16-12-2008, 08:50 AM

^ Shouldn't be so that's why I'm wondering why BO keeps saying neither he nor his camp talked to Blago about it (but OH, I better check on that, he says...)

raycarey · 16-12-2008, 11:58 AM

jet, in post #585 you posted of 'links' and 'connections' between the obamas and blagojevich.....do you have any intention of backing up this claim with a credible citation?

or did norton have it right in #587?
