WaPo: 'Obama Worked to Distance Self From Blagojevich Early On' By Michael M. Bates (Bio | Archive) December 12, 2008 - 10:42 ET
Several mainstream media accounts suggest that about the only thing Barack Obama and Rod Blagojevich have in common is they both live in Illinois. Today at the Washington Post's Web site, for example, we learn that "Obama Worked to Distance Self From Blagojevich Early On." The article begins by noting that the Illinois governor, unlike other major state Democratic politicians, wasn't allowed to address this year's national convention. There was at least one good reason for that, although it wasn't covered by today's Washington Post. Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times explained it last August:

That Obama sure is a busy guy, distancing himself from all his past associations.
WaPo spinning faster than a centrifuge defending Obama.
In June of 2002, Obama said on a local-access program: “ …right now, my main focus is to make sure that we elect Rod Blagojevich as Governor. . .”
The talk of scandals and Federal investigations of Blagojevich didn’t diminish Obama’s enthusiasm for his re-election in 2006. Chicago ABC 7 reporter Andy Shaw reported on August 16:
“We’ve got a governor in Rod Blagojevich who has delivered consistently on behalf of the people of Illinois and for that reason I am proud to stand behind him,” said Senator Barack Obama.
If Obama were trying to keep his distance from Blagojevich, he did it in a most peculiar way. Or, as they admiringly say in Democratic precincts, perhaps he did it “the Chicago way.”
The Uber Fraud! It is hard to be a fellow citizen to people who voted for this disaster.
We knew this was the route 0 would take, courtesy of the WaPo and this out of nowhere blurb ...

EXCERPT
Obama, who is not close to Blagojevich, has said he intends to stay out of the discussion about a successor.
"I know nuthTHING!"
Classic Washington Post cover-up/whitewash. Pure deceit, dishonesty, and re-writing of history.
Who the hell reads this rag?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the New York Times will do the same... sarcasm /off
And somehow he was the most qualified man to be President.
LOL !!!
You ain’t seen nothing yet. Wait until the Sunday morning shows tomorrow. They’ll be in full Obama defense mode.
Great post. I was thinking lately the same image!
OH MY GAWD !
ITS A BLACK COL. KLINK!
something tells me he’s been prepping a long time, hence the squeaky “cleanliness” of his political career. not getting in trouble doesn’t always mean that person is a good person.
I know you meant Sgt. Schultz.
Terrific summary...
My new word....( you heard it from me first!):
“Teflanobama” (tef-LAHN-obma ) ...DEF: a person who continues to get hit with mud and attacks on his chracter, yet nothing sticks to him.
HA! You are so right...Schultzie!
