He is going to check with his staff and see if they had any contact with the governor and will get back to us in a few days.

What did Obama know and when did he know it?

[sarasota]

Check with his “staff”? I thought he was talking about his “team” at the onset. And what about his “advisers”. I think it’s apparent he’s got his groups categorized.

[Rutles4Ever]

Man. This guy would be a disaster in front of a jury.

Haha, someone should make a spoof of ironically enough Chicago, and base it on the whole BlagObama circus.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

” why did you not repeat that Blago should resign?”

Probably afraid of what Blago might say about him!

[Piquaboy]

I will be sure and not watch the black bass turd.

[Canedawg]

Maybe he should check with Axelrod, who can remind him that HE, Odumbo spoke with Blago.

He needs a smoke.

He needs an IFB.

[cvq3842]

Yup.

[dforest]

good one.Heavy duty yammering now. He isn’t too smart so he won’t shut up.

Now he is describing himself. I am going to gag now.

What a freakin’ liar. He always picks safe media for questions.

[TornadoAlley3]

here ya go Zero

[atlbelle44]

Yet again pre-selected reporters questioned. He consults his notes before he calls on them.

[penelopesire]

Now Obama is saying some of the things in the indictment were in the bounds of legality!! This might be the newsflash! He is hedging his bets here folks.

last question...a brown-noser media girl with knee pads in her purse.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

What the heck is this guy saying? What a jerk!! A whole bunch of gobbledygook. He dodged a bullet there. He did not answer the quetion about corruption in IL and used up a whole bunch of time.

[advertising guy]

the Marlboro Muslim just went Messiah right there......all this you ask,he said, is why I’m here,I’ll fix this tuesday 12:38 p.m., next. Love me.

[wiggen]

theres a 3rd type of pol. the manchurian candidate

[cvq3842]

Thanks for compliment. As for the press being less fawning, I guess we’ll just have to “hope” they’ve learned their lesson. Irony intended!

[mewzilla]

Now Obama is saying some of the things in the indictment were in the bounds of legality!!

Exqueeze me?!

[retrokitten]

I’m probably going to regret asking, but what is an IFB?
