Testimony: Obama Had 4 Senate Successors In Mind
cbs2 chicago ^ | 6/24/10

Posted on 06/24/2010 2:11:08 PM PDT by Nachum

Jurors in ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich's corruption trial got a purported look Thursday at a short list of candidates President Obama favored to replace him in the U.S. Senate.

Federal prosecutors played a tape that revealed the first official message from the budding Obama administration about who the president supported for the Senate seat.

In the call, Blagojevich's chief of staff, John Harris, tells his boss that Rahm Emanuel, Obama's soon-to-be top aide, had called him to give him a list of four people that Obama would find acceptable as his successor in the Senate. They were Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.; injured Iraq War vet Tammy Duckworth; U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky and Illinois State Comptroller Dan Hynes.

A landslide in November will be one hell of a start! It’s going to happen without a doubt!

“Regardless of the legality of the deal itself, Obama has already set himself up for impeachment and may do jail time.”

From your keyboard to God’s ear! I would love to see it, but IMO Obama could be eating babies on the steps of the Supreme Court and the SRM and Justice Dept would ask him if he wanted to see a wine list!

It’s funny how there is virtually no coverage of this on MSM.

Perjury - High crime and misdemeanor an impeachable offense. What aboyt Romanov and Sestak. Pay for Play for the offense of another federal statute interfering with elections. Tell your Congressman and senator to do their job do the articles of impeachment. Inform them that a crime has been committed failure to abide by the constitution, the congress and senate can be implicated for a crime too.

And I don't believe that a Republican landslide in November will change that.

Maybe not, but it's what we have at this point. obama was in Chicago, as was Blogojevich, the day after the pres. election. I believe obama was holed up in John Roger's Chicago office (former husband of Desiree Rogers, ousted social secretary, and who was a mutual fund bigwhig that benefitted from obama pulling some strings in Chicago). It would be interesting to know where phone calls were exchanged between all the possible players on that day.

What a bastard faggot 0bozo is! He’s got his patented “deadly serious intense” look on his face again.....whenever he’s getting ready to screw our nation again. If there is a God in heaven (and yes, I believe there is), I hope & pray that God will rain a vicious plague upon 0bczo the muzzlim commie pig and all his household, including his phat-ass ugly wife, etc. I hope & pray that God takes 0bozo’s mind from him, like he did to Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4:28-33 for Nebuchadnezzar’s narcissistic pride and caused him to eat grass for a year like a beast in the field. I hope all this & more is visited on this commie pig 0bozo usurper-in-crap.

The Republic hangs by a thread. The only people with the power to investigate, censure and/or remove him have every reason not to. And I don't believe that a Republican landslide in November will change that.

I sadly agree with you. And personally I am hoping & praying for a modest Republican resurgence, let alone a landside. DemoRATs & the media will rain down a blitzkrieg of dis-information, mis-information, blatant lies, ballot stuffing, bogus counts & recounts, flat-out election stealing & so forth. Nov 2010 will be the most corrupt election in U.S. history, to be exceeded only by the future election of Nov 2012. I believe our nation will only survive if & when conservative southern & western states start to secede from the USSA and form a government based on our original Declaration of Independence and ORIGINAL Constitution with only the first 10 amendments -- let's re-examine which of the subsequent amendments are really valid or nothing more than earlier forms of socialism & totalitarianism.

To Obama, that little pin on his Lapel is more disturbing than that fly on his lip.

When his four years are up, every flag near him is going in the trash can as sure as he spits on Washington portrait in the White House.

I pray every day for God to remove Obama from power.

It was the State-run media that took Nixon down. Sadly, the State-run media is nothing but a bunch of Obama cheerleaders.
As such, Zero will not go down on this — the press will not pursue the issue. Look what happened with Joe Sestak. Had that been a Republican and the sh - t would have hit the fan big time!!

If anything, it adds credibility to the other bribes he accused of making.
