Rezco - Blagojevich - Obama

The Mighty Three.....the Trinity.....is their coverup finally revealed? Two down and one to go.....now we see that persistence pays off, except when the people you want to help prosecute are tied into it as well. Living in "Crook County" all of my life I have been subject to political waivering since Mayor Richard J. Daley who had a famous quote....."The police are not here to create disorder, they're here to preserve disorder." Richard J. Daley

It is only a matter of time until the final member of this ring of dirty politics gets fingered.....even though he is protected by dirty money, there are smarter people out there to catch these crooks, and the just shall prevail.

I can't wait for these idiotic hollywood celebrities to see that they have backed the downfall of a democracy and shaken it from its' core.....the Democratic Party and Liberalism is the end of what America has been for the last 232 years. Sad day indeed...

What exactly are you asserting? That Obama is involved in the sale of his soon-to-be vacant seat? Care to provide sources, or do you just really WANT this to be the case? Because I've seen nothing indicating it in what I'VE been reading....

i wonder if some facts start coming out implicating obama in all this.
as of now obama's people are saying they had no knowledge of any wrongdoing by blagojevich. supposedly blagojevich was putting the illinois senate seat up for the highest bidder. do you think obama will pardon him?????

I am not insinuating anything about his seat....I am talking about his property dealings and Michelle's with Rezco....once you dip your hand in the paint, it is tainted.

The campaigns should tell you that if anything, most Obama supporters are going to give the man a pass at any wrongdoing that doesn't directly affect them.

Is it going to raise the price of gas? Is it going to raise taxes? Is it going to raise the cost of food? Is it going to fix or hurt the economy?

Answer no to all of those and people won't care. And then they'll gang up on the whistleblower for daring to paint the "messiah" in a bad light because God knows that he's the only one that can save this country /* blatant sarcasm off */. What, you would dare to remove the nation's first black president over a few ethics violations!? How DARE YOU!!!!

The best part about this is that you want to say that Obama and the liberals are ruining the country.
#1)Obama is not liberal (at least not to the point that most conservatives would like to make him out to be)

#2)the downfall of american democracy has been going on for 30 years. Reagan, the bushes, nixo have all had as much to do with it as any democrat thats been in power.


Quit throwing your propaganda around.

I came on tonight to see what our members have to say about this:
news.yahoo.com...

Please no Obama bashing responses, I just want to understand.

I see no other thread about this right? No one is replying so Ill go over and start a thread, join me if you are interested please.

[Edit: This is in reply to the OP]

Wow... you use such harsh words..

Maybe some research might turn up something...


Let's see...

Where could we look? Oh I know... let's find out what was actually on the tapes which are being used as EVIDENCE to INDICT the Governor.


But how could we find them? Oh How about google news and type in Blagojevich Obama Tape. Let's see what comes up...


Oh! Looky here!


What's that it says... "Governor charged with corruption curses Obama on tape"

According to the U.S. website Politico, the recorded conversations also caught Blagojevich cursing at the mention of Obama, who is now planning his January inauguration.

In a telephone conversation between Blagjoveich, his wife and top aides on Nov. 10, he says of Obama, "F--- him," because advisors are "not willing to give me anything except appreciation."

Prosecutors made pains to say Obama was not accused of any wrongdoing.

So instead of railing on a hate filled tirade... use that energy to...

PERFORM SOME RESEARCH INTO REALITY before trying to link this criminal with Obama and Rezko, referring to them as the divine trinity.

It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that a politician has a murky past and skeletons in several cupboards. Just look at the Clinton and Bush families.

Seriously, does anybody these days expect honesty and integrity from those selected by the old boy networks that rise to powerful office? You don't even get a sniff at higher office without greasing the right wheels and accepting donations from the right special interest groups and corporations, who all do so with the expectation that the favour will be returned when the markers are called. That is what politics is all about. Sure, it's dirty and dishonest but it goes with the territory and those participating have to have a ruthlessness and dishonest nature if they strive to reach the top.

Quit throwing your propaganda around.

Obama, by record, is considered to be extremely liberal. He shifted towards the center to get himself elected. He has remained towards the center ever since. This is reflected in his staff appointments and policy issues. If he goes back to his far left roots he is doomed.

As far his connections to Blago go, only time will tell. Rahm, Resko, and Axlerod have connections to Blago. Just like a big game of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

I find it rather odd that two recent statements by those in Obama's employ have been retracted.

In a further effort to put distance between Obama and the governor, Obama allies are preemptively noting that incoming Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s claim this summer in a New Yorker article that he and Obama were “the top strategists of Blagojevich's victory” in 2002 was inaccurate. In a subsequent article in the Springfield political publication Capitol Fax this summer, now being circulated by Obama allies, Emanuel walked back his assertion.

But there are enough unanswered questions to give his political opponents plenty of grist, starting with Obama’s curt denial that he had ever spoken to Blagojevich about how to fill Obama’s vacant seat. His chief political adviser, David Axelrod, Tuesday corrected his own suggestion last month that Obama and Blagojevich had spoken about filling Obama’s vacant seat. Spokespeople did not respond to a question of when Obama and Blagojevich last spoke, and about what.

Why the sudden backpedaling??

Is this a sudden case of senility in two different people regarding Blago and Obama?

Hey there jibeho ... provide the links to those statements.
I wanna' use them elsewhere! Thanks.

Howdy. Here you go. I know its from Politico but I have also read about the backpedaling elsewhere. I just have to remember which one of the 20 or so articles it was in.

www.politico.com...

edit to add:

"I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening," he told reporters in his only public remarks about the matter. But Obama top adviser David Axelrod last month told Fox News that Mr. Obama had spoken with Mr. Blagojevich. Mr. Axelrod released a statement Tuesday saying he was incorrect, adding that "they did not then or at any time discuss" the Senate vacancy.

www.washingtontimes.com...

UPDATE: An Obama Transition Team aide says that Axelrod misspoke on Fox News Chicago.) (UPDATE #2: Axelrod this evening issued a statement saying. "I was mistaken when I told an interviewer last month that the President-elect has spoken directly to Governor Blagojevich about the Senate vacancy. They did not then or at any time discuss the subject.")

blogs.abcnews.com...

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."

Wilhelm said that Emanuel had overstated Obama's role. "There was an advisory council that was inclusive of Rahm and Barack but not limited to them," Wilhelm said, and he disputed the notion that Obama was "an architect or one of the principal strategists."

(An Obama Transition Team aide emails to note that Emanuel later changed his recollection of this story to Rich Miller's "CAPITOL FAX," saying, "David [Wilhelm] and I have worked together on campaigns for decades. Like always, he's right and I'm wrong.")

Has anyone heard Obama speak on this issue? I have...and everytime he has spoke he was stumbling and stuttering so bad, I actually felt sorry for him. I mean Bush looks like a poet next to Obama.

The media is doing its best to cover for him...NBC even refuses to call Blago a Democrat. Something stinks in Obama's Chicago and it's not the Bears.

reply to post by RRconservative


I agree with you about Obamas behavior in today's press conference. During the Blago questioning he stumbled and even seemed aloof sporting an occasional smirk. Probably just nerves.

Change you can believe in

The Obama/Blago meeting information is disapearing from the web.

reply to post by conspiracy nut
Why is everybody ignoring the fact that Fitzgerald stated directly that Pres-Elect Obama was NOT involved in the Blago fraud indictment?

It makes perfect sense for an Illinois Senator or anybody on his staff to have communication with the Gov. of the state.

It would make complete sense for Rahm Emanuel to talk to Blago about the senate seat-----it's part of his job!

Stop looking for something that doesn't exist. Obama is NOT Bush or Cheney----two of the biggest crooks in the country.

I can hardly wait until you haters have to eat your words, but then again I doubt it'll satisify your hunger for stirring pots.
