Not that Fitz could probably succeed in nailing Obama once he is in office, but he could cause him considerable embarrassment and damage his image before Obama destroyed him.

Could get messy , if we’re lucky. That’s Michelle’s and Rev Wright’s jobs. ;-)

Wonder if Jesse Jackson had anything to “do with this” crackdown? From what I remember, Jesse doesn’t like Obama very much.....and maybe he knows “more about Obama’s involvement” than what they are saying in the media? Or maybe Blag told Jesse to buzz off when he “bid” on the senator position.

Obama doesn't clearly get an advantage but it seemed to me the thing that tipped the game off was Obama's demand (as suggested in the MSM) that his girlfriend get the appointment.

She's named Valerie Jarrett.

Think of Obama's boys telling Blog that "the man wants Val" in that job, and what his reaction would be.

He, Blog is not one of Val's running dog lackeys ~ he gets nothing in that appointment.

You have Illinois' other Senator, the equally corrupt Dick Durbin is all at once calling for action in the legislature to have an election to fill the job.

What makes him so pro-democracy all at once? Did he get a call? Or was he maybe the guy who called Blog?

Someone might have had the idea that Blog was getting plenty of money from other sources so why would he get so tight in selling this job?

Bet Fitz has a warrant to question Obama before the week's out.

Is there anyway, Obama cannot be our President.

I’d take Biden any day over Obama.

Are the Clintons somehow helping with all of this? Maybe they know something.

It’s all very interesting.

Sounds like Fitzgerald is groveling to 0bama to keep his job. I doubt that it will work.

Well of course no charges will be brought against Obama.

Frightened American media and government people know that the hostile black racist and his communist thugs take charge next month.

Technically speaking, Blog didn't cave to Obama's South Side black Democrat gang, so he got tossed. Fitz was right there to catch.

So, is Fitz just catching crooks, or is he currying favor.

“I should make clear the complaint makes no allegations about the president-elect whatsoever,” said U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald.

For the moment my friends, for the moment.

Wholeheartedly agree!!! We are patient — we can wait for the other shoe(s) to drop!

You make excellent points that I wasn't aware of.

To paraphrase another Freeper today, have you noticed how SILENT Obama has been today?

Obama's nasties are probably crafting some carefully worded speech that provides tons of non-answers regarding his relationship with Blagojevich.

Yep, Zero never seems to know nuthin’ about nuthin’ —

I want to run around Los Angeles with a big marking pen and put a big “D” over the “H” in the zero bumper stickers — you know the ones — with his likeness in red and blue and the one word: “Hope.” Blecchhhhhhh!!!!

Or maybe just slap “NO” stickers in front of the one saying “Hope.” Sounds fun, anyway.

This guy and his “associates” are all total scum, but then WE knew that, didn’t we?

Judge & Shep said this pretty much assures Fitz tenure for 4 more years even though Obama doesn't like him and wanted him gone.

Right now it looks like Blago was getting pushy and uppity with Opossum. Rahm Emmanuel pulled the trigger to shut Blago up.

Obama was just on TV. He said he didn't contact Blog.

That is to say, if there were any contacts on the matter, he had his people call Blog's people.

We need to have someone look very closely at the Harris tapes.

I am just surprised they did anything other than tell both to cool it or at least be more secretive. This seems like business as usual for Chicago and most of Obama’s buddies.

“Advisor A” and “Advisor B” are clearly implicated in the conspiracy, and it appears that they are part of Team Obama:

To repeat an analogy used by Harry Truman, Obama is like the piano player in the whorehouse who had no idea of what was going on upstairs.

Obama is once again proving how powerful he is as a pathological LIAR.

Axlerod had a gaffe today when he acknowledged that Obama and Blagojevich are in fact talking with each other.

Axlerod obviously didn't get Obama's memo to LIE and DENY all of this Blagojevich-related stuff.

Re#73 At least for a little while. The MSM will cover for BO if things get too hot...
