Oh yes it does. There was a brilliant poll in early fall that was buried by the MSM. They asked Joe Q. Public, ‘what will restore your confidence in the economy?’ Answer #1: PERP WALKS.

I heard that someone else on a meet the press also stated Obama was in communication with Blago about the empty seat. So this person will MIS SPEAK when the video surfaces.

Chrissie Matthews even said tonight there are alot of people thats every word will be looked at now on this and the right will love this. UNREAL!

Interesting snippets from an article...

It also appears that Obama friend Valerie Jarrett, an incoming senior White House adviser, is the person referred to repeatedly in court documents as "Candidate 1." That individual is described as a female who is "an adviser to the president-elect" and as the person Obama wanted appointed to the Senate seat. Court papers say that "Candidate 1" eventually removed "herself" from consideration for the Senate seat.

In a Nov. 11 phone conversation with an aide, Blagojevich talked at length about "Candidate 1" and said he knew that Obama wanted her for the open seat but "they're not willing to give me anything except appreciation. (Expletive) them."

One day later, Jarrett, a Chicago businesswoman who is one of three co-chairmen of Obama's transition team and was a high-level adviser to his presidential campaign, made it known that she was not interested in the seat. And, on Nov. 15, Obama announced that Jarrett would be a senior White House adviser and assistant for intergovernmental relations.

At least one top aide to Obama, Michael Strautmanis, previously worked for Blagojevich. Obama has appointed Strautmanis to serve as White House chief of staff to the presidential assistant for intergovernmental relations and public liaison. The Chicago native was legislative director and counsel to Blagojevich when the governor was a member of Congress and then helped Blagojevich win the governorship in 2002.

More details on the case could be forthcoming.

Court documents say they don't include all calls dealing with the governor's efforts regarding the Senate seat appointment. And many people in the documents are referred to by aliases; there's little doubt their identities will eventually surface.

In Chicago, Obama largely kept a low profile as word of Blagojevich's arrest spread.

He went to a gym to work out as he does most mornings but canceled a previously scheduled FBI briefing and, instead, headed to his transition office next door to the federal courthouse. He stayed there and mostly out of sight until a midday meeting with former Vice President Al Gore on environmental and energy issues. That was supposed to be the news of the day out of the Obama office but the president-elect found himself peppered with questions about Blagojevich when reporters entered the Gore meeting for a photo op.

You know, I think people at FR tried telling people that Obama was a crook and a thug, and no one seemed to listen. Now, the nation will reap what they sow. This is just the beginning of bad tidings for the USA.

Yes he did, did, did;
Yes he did!

Maybe he will resign before he is inaugurated. Now that would be HISTORIC!!

Technically, Barry is a private citizen. He gave up his junior senator’s seat a few weeks ago. He is the president-SELECT. He doesn’t become the president -ELECT until the EC says so. So for now, he’s fair game. A lot can come out in the next few days. I pray that happens. That coupled with the SCOTUS issues with his bc. Who knows, Christmas time is the time for miracles. There has got to be something that will stick to this guy. Let’s pray that something comes from this Illinois situation.

Democrat Culture of Corruption. That’s what the Democrats will be referred to from now on. Wait until the William Jefferson case hits the docket this month. Double whammy.

Everyone should start using “Democrat Culture of Corruption” when referring to the Rats.

The Obamessiah must now move to another stage: from the elections to the ethnic civil war stage (1), while the intended followers for the Obamessiah are dramatically reduced to blacks.

Note
(1) Make no mistake: the same word but two different meaning for stage, in one case theater (elections) in the other case LEVEL (ethnic civil war).

...the governor was “surprised” by the day’s events.I'll bet he was surprised! I'm sure knowing all he knows on obama, and knowing that none of it mattered, I'm sure he thought he was just as invincible!

Axelrod will need to dress properly for his coming ride under the bus.

[bergmeid]

That means that it will be Bush’s fault again. Lovely.
