No way.

Obama and his spinmeisters are furiously working to portray Obama and Rahm as the crusaders on a white horse who brought down Blago in their home state. They will throw Blago under the bus big time.

I don’t see any way Obama gets tied in with this thing.

Amusing DUmp flip-out.

I don’t see any way Obama gets tied in with this thing.

According to Rush, Fitzpatrick said something to effect that implied he and the POS-elect were in negotiations on who would fill his vacant seat.

If true, then the POS-elect is directly tied to Blago.

Maybe nothing REALLY illegal, but it's a stench that might prove hard to shake.

“Obama and his spinmeisters are furiously working to portray Obama and Rahm as the crusaders on a white horse who brought down Blago in their home state. They will throw Blago under the bus big time.”

I’m afraid that your are correct. I trust Fitzmas as far as I can throw the Golden Gate Bridge.

Below is an interesting link to Beckwith’s page. Apparently Blago and Zer0 had a serious falling out when Zer0 refused to do what Blago wanted re Zer0’s replacement $inator.

Rahm probably met with Fitzmas and gave him some tapes and told Fitzmas to smash Blago before he screwed up everything.

When you read what Blago said on those tapes, it is easy to see there was no love left between Blago and Zer0.

So Fitzy threw Blago under Obama’s bus, and the nation will Move on with the unknown new president.

This is Obama's Whitewater. They will probably never get him on it, but unless their are phone logs of Rham calling Fitz before this broke, he will also never be free from it. It also makes Fitz completely fire proof. With the allegations of blackmailing the media and e-bay senators if Obama touches him now it would be like the gap in Nixon's tape.

Obama is not far removed from the Chicago corruption. Hell, he went straight from state politics and leap frogged tothe Presidency. You mean he spent all those years as a state legislator and knew nothing? Sorry, while we were all worrying about the SCOTUS stopping him, it looks like the sh!t is gonna hit the fan.

Federal Prison and being the fall guy vs. singing like a bird, reduced time and taking everyone with you.

And if it does, Obama will appoint federal prosecutors AND the Attorney General who will have absolutely no interest whatsoever in pursuing this.

I agree. Obama walks away from this pure as the driven snow! The Government-Media Complex will cover and spin for him. It’s hell when you don’t have a free press anymore.
