I wonder how much money changed hands under the table for Obama to get elected (unopposed) to the Illinois State Senate and to the US Senate?

Of course, the MSM will never want to investigate Obama, so we will never know.

If he wanted to set himself up for life financially he should have just named himself Senator. The gravy train would have run forever.

I’m confused. Is Illinois a state in Mexico, too or is this the US state? The corruption seems to be about the same.

In the old untouchables the criminals were controlling the government, in this newer version the government are the criminals.

Oh boy...this stuff is so serious and easy to “get” that there’s little or no chance his problems end on January 20th. Even if Obama firs Fitzgerald, I don’t see this indictment going away.

I don't think any of these things he's accused of are even against the law here in New Jersey. This is just how things are done.

Maybe there's some laws technically on the books about such activities, like those old "you can't horsewhip your neighbor's wife on rainy Tuesdays" kinda laws. Nothing that's actually enforced.

Ah yes, our new President brings with him the fresh air of a state and political organization free of the stench of corruption. Be prepared to repeatedly hear how the last IL governor jailed for corruption was a Republican!

llinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich and his Chief of Staff, John Harris, were arrested today by FBI agents on federal corruption charges


Rod, your new cell mate, Bubba, will just love that 'purty blow-dried hair'.
And he'll prolly name you ... Mary.

What did Obama know and when did he know it for sure...

From the indictment,

benefits for ROD BLAGOJEVICH, including, among
other things, appointment as Secretary of Health & Human Services in the President-elect’s
administration

Only people in the Obama Admin could be solicited to get that gurantee, maybe even the lead corruptor in charge himself.

Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Grant thanked the Chicago offices of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Inspector General for assisting in the ongoing investigation. The probe is part of Operation Board Games, a five-year-old public corruption investigation of pay-to-play schemes, including insider-dealing, influence-peddling and kickbacks involving private interests and public duties.


Merry Fitzmas, everyone.

HAHAHHAAHAHAHA

I was at an event where President Bush spoke here in Illinois back in 2005. After the event all the idiots were gathered around Blago to talk to the crook.

NO ONE was by obama so I ended up getting his autograph (I'm a memoribilia collector). Back then I knew Blago was a crook and probably would have told him off getting arrested instead I got Obama's auto and blago is going to jail!!! HAHAHHAHAHA

And for the record I didn't vote for Obama for the Senate or POTUS. Just got his autograph because I'm a collector with good insight lol!!!

About half way through reading this I was reminded of the movie where Admiral Kimmel rushes into his office during the bombing of Pearl Harbor and his aid starts rattlng off the damages.

Kimmel pounds the desk “The Battle ships man. What about the Battleships?”

My feeling was “Obama man, what about Obama”
