Obama: Damage Control O-Bungle; Rahmbo to Pay?
The Policy Project ^ | 16 December 2008 | Patrick Gibson

Posted on 12/16/2008 5:08:58 PM PST by nysuperdoodle

With the Blagojevich scandal continuing to spin wildly in Chicago. Obama watchers are saying that if the handling of Blago-gate is any indication, we can expect more gaffes and ineptitude. It seems the inexperience of Obama is showing through. Will the media wall around him be breached? Will the truth about sweetheart deals and graft at the expense of the poorest of his constituents see the light of day?

Rahm doesn’t seem like the sort who’d agree to be the fall guy.

You got that right, he plans on taking the child like one with him unless he gets off — That’s how I see it coming down. This is a heavy prison time rap, needs pardon quick.

So many questions and still so many days before the coronation to stall for answers.

I heard excerpts of Obama’s press conference on Mark Levin. He’s still trying to hide behind Fitzpatrick, saying that the U.S. Attorney’s office has asked him to avoid saying anything about the case until December 22. I don’t think that’s going to fly since the hungry press is growing restless at his refusal to answer ANY questions about Blagojevich and Emmanuel.

How do we know Obama wasn’t intimately involved in Blago’s 2002 run?

“Instinct,” says Barnicle. And that’s sufficient, he feels.

It was instinct that told the MSM that Sarah Palin was a snake-handling subretard and thus required hundreds of reporters digging through the most picayune details of her life. It was also instinct that that told the MSM that Barack Obama was the Risen Christ and needed to be worshipped.

Instinct.

They make much of this virtue. It doesn’t occur to them that their instincts almost all trend the same way — to supporting liberalism and undermining conservatism.

Since when is stonewalling a gaffe.

O has done exactly what has been expected. Play dumb and hide behind the msm.

Obama's initial gut reaction when asked about Blagojevich was to lie. When first asked about the matter, he categorically denied any involvement. He made it sound like he barely knew who Blago was, much less a close political ally. Other than the obvious implausibility of that position, we now know that Obammunist Lieutenant Rahmbo Emmanuel had no less than six conversations with Blago's COS after the election. It would be very surprising indeed if the president-elect had no idea with whom his Chief of Staff was meeting.

Rhambo's in deep doo-doo, and the man-child stutters on...

"Rahm I think is going to be like Bruce Lindsey."

I'm waiting to see who gets stuck with role of Vince Foster.
