He's meeting with Governor Rod Blagojevich this afternoon in Chicago to discuss it.

And now that I think about it, here's the deal. If he did meet with Blago then it's almost for sure that Blago tried to shake him down. So why didn't Obama report this obvious criminal shakedown? Hmmmm?? Isn't that a crime in itself?

>>I think the media cares more about ratings than 0bama. They are still in the honeymoon period.<<

Agree, they can’t beat the McCain/Bush dead horse forever.

The MSMS will cover for Their saviour Obama.

“You working hard for Rod?” interrupted Berkowitz.

“You betcha,” said Obama.

“Hot Rod?” asked the host.

“That’s exactly right,” Obama said.

Well, look at that!

Hussein used the phrase "you betcha" before Sarah Palin ever did.

Everybody lies about governors making appointments to fill vacated US Senate seats? In fact, it’s even honorable to lie in such situations. To protect the family and such.

Kids probably went to different schools together.

Nov 5 he has a meeting....Dec 9, Obama never HEARD of him! What a great liar Obama is.

Actually vidbizz and cycle of discernment should get the bulk of the credit for finding this. I thought it was important enough to place in Breaking for the most exposure.

I expect Obama will clarify his disclaimer yesterday and say what he meant was that he didn’t have any knowledge that the Blago indictment was coming. His disclaimer didn’t pertain to any meetings or conversations they had, he’ll say.

Nov 5 he has a meeting...

Perhaps his first act as "President-elect."

Do we have a follow-up article/video to indicate that the meeting actually took place? Meetings are scheduled and canceled all the time, so we really need to know if this one did take place.

I wonder if the Sun God will be allowed to bring a teleprompter into the Grand Jury room? He could randomly access such succinct statements as:
That is not the Blogo I knew.
We used to work in the same city, so we did not have a close relationship.
Just a guy in the neighborhood.
I left that body to run for senate when I realized there was some corruption.
At least it would speed up the process otherwise it would be ah, well, ahhem, cough, well, you see sprinkled into every sentence.

Obama clearly said he didn’t speak to the Governor. When that statement contradicted what Axelrod said, they came out and said Axelrod misspoke. It’s going to be hard for him to wiggle out of this one.
