Agree. I am livid with my friends who voted to put this criminal in the top position in our country. Chicago Thug politics go national. Disgusting.

But, don't you see, they thought they were doing you a favor that you'd appreciate somewhere down the road. They were being patient with you. And if patience isn't acquired by you, it will be re-educated into you somewhere far far away and very very cold.

Please. THis is the same crew that said for years OJ was not guilty and he was framed, simply because he is black. If Obama is disqualified or indicted for ANY reason there will be riots. You can take that to the bank.

He has been mighty quiet the last few days. He probably doesn’t know what they have. Never fear Rahm, Fitzy only gets tough with Republicans. He’ll give you an out.

That explains why Rahm wants to spend time with his kids, because he may not be spending much time with them going forward.

Who cares, let them riot. I’ll sit back and enjoy it, let the dumb asses riot and show themselves for what they are. All the idiots always threaten riots then they do nothing

That’s not a surprise at all.

Obama & Emanuel Are So Close With Blagojevich That They Led His Campaign For Governor

“He discussed with an adviser that he wanted someone to approach an unidentified adviser to Obama - widely speculated to be incoming White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel - about having the president-elect help get a nonprofit foundation set up for Blagojevich to run.”

Mr. Emanuel was among the few people in Mr. Obama’s circle who occasionally spoke to Mr. Blagojevich. He declined to answer questions on Wednesday, waving off a reporter who approached him as he walked across Capitol Hill.

A Democrat familiar with Illinois politics and the Obama transition, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said there probably were calls between the Blagojevich and Obama camps about the Senate seat. It was not clear if any calls were recorded by federal agents, who had tapped the governor’s phones.

Illinois no longer has some of the most enlightened people in the country? When did this happen?

Well, you start with some government schools, mix in a whole bunch of liberal leaning teachers and presto, you have the current day Illinois.

Are you aware of any conversations between Blagojevich or [chief of staff] John Harris and any of your top aides, including Rahm [Emanuel]?

Obama: Let me stop you there because . . . it’s an ongoing . . . investigation.
