Obama this Tuesday:

"I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening."

Obama and Blagojevich at the National Governors Association meeting last Tuesday: [photo at jump]

Obama at grand jury proceedings next Tuesday: "Define 'contact'?"

But, but I thought Obama said there was no contact.

[Paradox]

Interesting, but that looks like a simple handshake and greeting. Not what I would consider “contact” of the sort he is denying here.

"You did not see me with in a photo with Hot Rod Blog."

"You did not see me with in a photo with Hot Rod Blog."

"You did not see me with in a photo with Hot Rod Blog."

"You are getting sleepier and sleepier, sleepier and sleepier,...

Good catch! I guess someone will have to try to airbrush this out of history too, like that local news story.

(I’m in an especially snarky mood today.)

...we were not, I was not aware of what was happening...

Notice the ambulance-chaser's lawyerly (NOT a compliment) parsing of words.

Is it WE, or I, Hussein?

[subterfuge]

First obama says “we”, then he quickly catches himself and says “I.” When it does come out that a member of his staff did talk to BLago he’ll have to do his duty and get under the bus.

Besides, both are wearing rubber gloves, You know, like safe sex.

Axlerod is on video saying they met.
Local media reported they were going to meet.
Same local media in a later story said the meeting took place.

(the local media stories have been removed from the web-”wayback” machines needed)

Per the criminal complaint O wanted Valerie Jarrett to get the Senate seat so they must have discussed it at some point

[jarofants]

Do you know how to tell when Barrys lying?

Answer=

His lips are moving.

[beethovenfan]

“I did not have sex with that man”.

[Deo volente]

“Now you listen to me...I had no handshake with that governor, Mr. Blagojevich!”

[KeyLargo]

CAPTION BLAGO

[Canedawg]

There was no contact.

There was no governor’s conference.

There was no november 5, 2008.

David axelrod does not exist.

If you believe otherwise, we have a nice re-education camp for you.

Photo ping!

Almost certainly Obama has gone into full damage control. All of his staffers checking phone records for calls to Blago.

You can safely bet Obama staffers and aides are on those wire-tap calls.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Obama was on a phone call? And tapped?

The Deputy Governor who resigned yesterday or someone close will get offered a big-time plea deal and will sing like a bird.

Obama's very gentle rebuke tells me he doesn't want to get ratted out by Blago.

If they can flip Blago, what a better way for him to get less time than to give up the next president's dirty business?

Is that a reflection or an earbug prompter in The One’s ear?
