Same difference.) respond to this developing scandal. At first, they seemed to think it odd that Axelrod and Obama had differing views on whether or not they had spoken to Blago. Then the media wondered out loud why the Obama camp was taking so long to address the issue. But then O spoke, and they stopped asking questions. Obama then says that he will do an internal review and release the info in a couple of days. But then the Obama camp remains mum, and the media wonders out loud again.

Its been interesting to see the members of the left (-And the media. Same difference.) respond to this developing scandal.
At first, they seemed to think it odd that Axelrod and Obama had differing views on whether or not they had spoken to Blago.

Then the media wondered out loud why the Obama camp was taking so long to address the issue.
But then O spoke, and they stopped asking questions.

Obama then says that he will do an internal review and release the info in a couple of days.
But then the Obama camp remains mum, and the media wonders out loud again.

I presume that this cycle will continue for the next four years.

They are waiting for a check. When the $$$ doesn't arrive they'll throw his ass out . He forgot to tell them that the country is basically bankrupt. They only heard spread the wealth. You don't want to mess with this crowd. The people who voted for BO don’t care about integrity. They are waiting for a check. When the $$$ doesn’t arrive they’ll throw his ass out .

When I mentioned that, you know, if Obama didn't have anything to hide, why did he not come out and say yeah, of course, my team had some contact with Blago about this, you think I wouldn't have an interest in who replaces me, but we weren't involved in the pay for play. Instead, the fact he wasn't honest at the very least gives the impression he's up to something and wasn't a smart move. NO!!! NO NO NO!!! How can you say that?!?! He did everything just right, why should he answer questions from people like you evil Republithugs who only only want to tear him down!!! It's gonna be a long frakking 4 years. 8-| You can see the Obama can do nothing wrong mindset where I work, with two liberal twits who were all over Bush, he lied, he lied he lied, even with no proof or serious question.

Of course O isn't going to bribe Blag for a seat he just LEFT, but so what? It is obvious that they would know that Blag was trying to sell it and they did nothing. This is supposed to be the highest office in the land that enforces the law. I repeat, just like joe biden, THEY DID NOTHING! hang them!

Dear sirs,
In response to your letter of Dec. 12: My internal review shows that there is no need for an audit. I did not under-report my income for 2007. In fact, the review found that you owe me $100,000.

Hey, if it’s good enough for The One it should be good enough for the IRS.

But then I realize that it doesn't look that way. I'm tired of the pundants saying Obama probably didn't do anything illegal with regard to Gov. Blago and the Chicago scandal. The "Chicago Machine" IS the real story here and is how Obama got to where he is today. I believe he is a crook and eventually the truth will come out. But at what cost?
