Illinois Govenor Who Suspends State Business With B of A Taken Into Federal Custody

reply to post by Lazyninja


i thought US states had a lieutenant govenor ???

And, it should be pointed out, Mr. Obama has a relationship with Mr. Blagojevich, having not only endorsed Blagojevich in 2002 and 2006, but having served as a top adviser to the Illinois governor in his first 2002 run for the state house.

In the Democratic gubernatorial primary that year, then-state sen. Obama endorsed former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris. But after Blagojevich won, Obama came around enthusiastically.

At the same time, meanwhile, Axelrod had such serious concerns about whether Blagojevich was ready for governing he refused to work for his one-time client.According to Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., Mr. Obama's incoming White House chief of staff, Emanuel, then-state senator Obama, a third Blagojevich aide, and Blagojevich's campaign co-chair, David Wilhelm,

were the top strategists of Blagojevich's 2002 gubernatorial victory.

Emanuel told the New Yorker earlier this year that he and Obama "participated in a small group that met weekly when Rod was running for governor.

We basically laid out the general election, Barack and I and these two." On the Chicago TV show "Public Affairs with Jeff Berkowitz" on June 27, 2002, state Sen. Obama said, "Right now, my main focus is to make sure that we elect Rod Blagojevich as Governor, we..."

"You working hard for Rod?" interrupted Berkowitz.

"You betcha," said Obama.

"Hot Rod?" asked the host.

I have the feeling that the Governor is not going to be the only one.

It sounds like some people tried to buy the senate set.

And i will bet they are now under investigation.

I hope they get the governor to turn on the others and they get arrested to.

I suspect the democrats are now trying cover up this whole mess before it get out of hand.

You can take that to the bank.

Why Can’t Blagojevich Sell a Senate Seat? Obama Bought the White House

www.crossactionnews.com...

Chicago Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL) is the anonymous "Senate Candidate #5" whose emissaries Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich reportedly claimed offered up to a million dollars to name him to the U.S. Senate, federal law enforcement sources tell ABC News.

abcnews.go.com...

According to the FBI affidavit in the case, Blagojevich "stated he might be able to cut a deal with Senate Candidate 5 that provided ROD BLAGOJEVICH" with something "tangible up front."

ha ha, I was changing banks anyway... so, when they asked me why they are losing my business, I stated in solidarity with the Ill. Gov... ha ha ha, that one prompted a walk over to the branch managers desk. ha ha
you should have seen the look of concern on their faces... it was a blast... I'm now with another NWO bank Wachovia. you go David Rockefeller - you got me coming and going..... for now..

I think this whole situation is a really great example of info-wars.

The corporate media's monopoly on facts makes it so easy to manipulate the masses and thus control and punish these public officials.

i've been following this story on the news and i'm just amazed at all the information and speculation being aired. how is the man suppose to get a fair trial when for all intents and purposes he's already been tried and hung in the news?

i thought our media was bad enough in situations like this and they're muzzled once an arrest is made.

Have you all seen this? This link is not the only one on the net reporting it.
Oddly enough, I have seen NO reports of this on any News station..
Imagine that..

Michelle Obama Is The “Specifically Named Individual” On Page 64 of The Affidavit Submitted by FBI

If people think the Obama's had nothing to do with any of this, I can only say that ignorance may be bliss for awhile, until reality slaps you out of denial..

Union Official Allegedly Liaison Between Governor, Obama Team

www.washingtonpost.com...

Among the revelations contained in the complaint brought against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich yesterday was the description of an official with the Service Employees International Union acting as an apparent intermediary between the governor and Barack Obama's camp in discussions over Obama's Senate seat. The alleged role of the SEIU official was surprising, given that the union had not figured publicly in the investigation into Blagojevich (D). But on another level, the SEIU's apparent involvement is an indication of the extent to which it has, under the leadership of its ambitious and controversial president, Andrew L. Stern, become an omnipresent force in Democratic politics. The U.S. attorney's complaint states that Blagojevich mused aloud with his advisers about the possibility that he could seek a high-paying job with Change to Win, the coalition of seven unions -- dominated by SEIU -- that broke away from the AFL-CIO in 2005. Blagojevich and his chief of staff wondered aloud about a "three-way deal" in which he would appoint Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett, a Chicago businesswoman believed to be the woman identified in the complaint as "Candidate 1," to Obama's Senate seat; Blagojevich in return would become Change to Win's executive director; and Obama would reward Change to Win with pro-labor policies.

I hear ya Missy, not only that, but Obama helped Blago get elected, they keep saying Obama didn't like Blago,

Obama is going to make the wrong guy angry by throwing them under the bus, and they will turn on him,

watch

The mob still runs the show In Chicago

Congresscritter Rahm Emanuel says Obama helped get Blagojevich elected…”

I’ve known [Obama] a long time. We used to sit around helping our governor get elected, help those strategy meetings, stuff like that.”

Once again,

And, it should be pointed out, Mr. Obama has a relationship with Mr. Blagojevich, having not only endorsed Blagojevich in 2002 and 2006, but having served as a top adviser to the Illinois governor in his first 2002 run for the state house.According to Rep.

This is fact

Oh..it's getting worse. It's now being confirmed that US Congressman
Jesse Jackson, Jr. offered $1.5 million dollars to Gov Blagojevich if he
would be the one appointed to fill President Obama's vacant US Senate
seat.

Our Chicago Talk Station is covering this growing mess very well.

has it been confirmed or "alleged"?
he's about to give a press conference. this should be interesting.

god what a mess, lol!

Im not saying the good Illinois governor is innocent as I believe pretty much every politician is guilty of crimes unaccounted for.


That being said, I just wonder how many names and faces have been destroyed silently throughout our history in such abrupt ways for not playing along..and then made to look like something entirely different?

MYbig it is not the bank thing, Blago has been under investigation and connected to Rezko, Obama's pal.

Maybe just maybe this is Obama paying Rev. Jessie Jackson Sr. back for all of those negative shots that he took at Obama during the election.

Perhaps Barack didn't care for Jessie's insolence and the embarrassment he caused him by him saying Obama wasn't doing enough for the black community. Also I believe there was some reference to "cutting Obamas balls off" or something to that effect.

Perhaps this is a little pay back. Just a thought.

faaaaaaaaaaaarr ...

young jesse not only denying allegations about himself but damning Blagojevich to hell pretty much.

not sure if i believe him.

oh my god he's crying.
