Take this long? They wanted to wait until his poll numbers went down. The question is who has the real power in this game?
Clintons and Fitzpatrick?
Rahm?
Hussein
Daley
I think it is Daley and his machine. Daley and the Clintons with Fitzpatrick might be enough.
The PUMAs are not friends of Obama. And, I doubt this was orchestrated to wait for Obama’s numbers to fall. Maybe you’re right, but the point was that the PUMAs were envisioning the President-Elect arrested alongside Blago. Not that Obama would be “clean” until the trial itself a year and a half later.
