22. However, the defense has a good faith belief that Mr. Rezko, President Obama’s former friend, fund-raiser, and neighbor told the FBI and the United States Attorneys a different story about President Obama. In a recent in camera proceeding, the government tendered a three paragraph letter indicating that Rezko “has stated in interviews with the government that he engaged in election law violations by personally contributing a large sum of cash to the campaign of a public official who is not Rod Blagojevich. … Further, the public official denies being aware of cash contributions to his campaign by Rezko or others and denies having conversations with Rezko related to cash contributions. … Rezko has also stated in interviews with the government that he believed he transmitted a quid pro quo offer from a lobbyist to the public official, whereby the lobbyist would hold a fundraiser for the official in exchange for favorable official action, but that the public official rejected the offer. The public official denies any such conversation. In addition, Rezko has stated to the government that he and the public official had certain conversations about gaming legislation and administration, which the public official denies having had. [Footnote No. 10 - The defense has a good faith belief that this public official is Barack Obama.

Blago is playing hardball politics. He's got the good on Obama and either these charges get dropped or the Chicago buried bodies start popping to the surface.

Perhaps. But if so, they'd better have hard evidence to back up their claims.

The problem is Obama could pressure the prosecutor to drop the charges on Blago and I believe he would! However then the Republicans could call for a special prosecutor and the games would begin!

God will not let this country be taken apart. This I believe.


I believe this too.

I believe God when he says he won’t give us a burden we can’t carry.

This presidency has burdened us with nothing but idiocy that only God can fix... and he will.
