Barack Obama "Saddened and Sobered" Over the Arrest of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich on Corruption Charges

[dadhadit]

all bull shit

[sds7508]

If Obama didn't know anything about it how comes they have Blagojevich on tape ranting that Obama won't pay him off this sounds good for Obama at first but wouldn't he have a responsiblity then to inform us what was happening?

[default99telecom]

Oswald died in 1963.

[Brussellz7]

i liked this video :)

anyone want to chat ZG

[theaztexpaceman]

"In particular,Gov.Rod Blagojevich has been intercepted conspiring to trade the Senate seat for particular positions THAT THE PRES.ELECT HAS THE POWER TO APPOINT".

[JimmyFormerMarine]

Nixon said exactly the same thing in 1973. He was "saddened and sobered" over Watergate. Obama either has to resign or be impeached before is able to do serious damage to this country.

[dogblues64]

What happened to.. "Once A Marine, Always A Marine"..??

[belong2mel]

The facts here are so startling. If Barack OBama was really the change we could all believe in, I would have expected Mr. Change to come out and give a talk about corruption and how this eats away at public trust and confidence. Insteadhe is merely saddened and because there is an investigation he wont say anything about it.

[Foz424]

If Barack Obama is this "blind" with what goes on around him now, how myopic is his vision for our future?

[fowken]

obama is a fag he talks like he got a dick n his mouth

[krebstar01]

samsdayout: sorry... your just gonna have to suck it for the next 16 years, until the Republican party can figure out what the hell they are.

[kjaw1122]

Yea you're right. We need a third party for true conservatives. That way we can put a stop to these steers and queers.

[thomasward00]

After 4 years of this empty suit, the nation will run back to the GOP quick...

[krebstar01]

Yeah go ahead dumb ass and vote for the next Bush. That'll help things. How about Palin? She's good. Right? I feel sorry that there's nothing you can blame on Clinton anymore. and

kjaw1122, a third party of conservative Rebups with no "queers"? Larry Craig, Rove, and half the Repub Senate (plus who every was getting full body massages in the white house from "correspondent" and Gay Hooker James Guckart) Who'll be left? Just curious.

[samsdayout]

obama should be thoroughly investigated before becomming prez...if there is an obamagate even before he becomes the prez,its better if he is not sworn in as prez...

[ethuhmastuh]

why would you assume he's involved in anything illegal?

[samsdayout]

democrats will be finished for ever with obama as prez for another 4 years...i love that...republican for ever!!!

[samsdayout]

comeon obama ...get real...become human...dont get lost in your world of fantasy...this is a real world with real people...this world is more than talk...pls get real

[theaztexpaceman]

Nov.12,08:"According to Advisor B,from the Pres.elect's perspective,there would be fewer 'fingerprints' on the Pres.elect's involvement with 'Change to Win'..."you wo'nt have stories in 4yrs. that they bought you off".

[flyboymd82]

Awe come on people! We all know Obama is innocent of any wrongdoing. He's as pure as the driven snow! He's the best thing ever to happen to this Country! He's above corruption and illegal behavior even though all his friends are dropping around him. He's our messiah! LOL!

[theaztexpaceman]

"change",blah,blah,blah...

"hope",blah,blah,blah...

"Blago",blah,blah,blah,bullshi­t.

NOBLAHMA.

NOBAMA!!!

[kjaw1122]

Reporter: President elect obama.. How could you have no clue what is going on in your state of Illinois?

Obama: I am not going to tell.. Your feet smell. And if you ask me agian you can go to hell. (libs clap and cheer for Obama)

[theaztexpaceman]

Has'nt anyone bothered to read the Federal Indictment against Gov.Blagojevich? Barack Obama is up to his ass in alligators with this scandal.

[LickumBottom]

Over the last century, Earth mean temperatures rose a degree & a half. For the last seven years the Earth has been cooling again. The temperatures of the Earth & other planets in our solar system have risen & fallen in unison. Google: Solar system warming.

[kjaw1122]

All Al Gore wanted to do was show everyone how super serial he is about global warming and MANBEARPIG!!! Hey Al.. How bout that global warming.. It's freezing/snowing in Pittsburgh and its snowing in southern state that haven't seen snow in DECADES. Spare me the BULLSHIT.

[bobbytiger]

Yep.

You, (the libs.) got the Presidency, but we Conservatives have the front row seat for the next four years watching the Dummycrats fall apart.

It's going to be great.

Can't wait..................

[gozips30]

You must think George W. Bush is your hero or something. Worst thing I did was vote for him. Based on the shit he and his goons have put us through, I regret voting for him BIG TIME!

[gnarlyharley1]

This latest scandel will be the first of many scandels that will follow this guy into office. Unlike the Clinton years where the Republicans were accused of initiating investigation after investigation, this presidency will usher in a whole new era of self inviting investigations. This is just the beginning. It is going to be a wild ride!

[joebob1889]

i like how everyone here is trying to find an excuse to call Obama a thief. May I remind everyone that he hasn't even been inaugurated yet? And i'd really love to hear everyone's suggestions on how to make everything better, because i doubt anyone has any good ideas. it is YOUR country too, you know.

[bob67cddy]

This should be good, I am waiting to see when Rod Blagojevich's spills the beans on everyone. I wonder if he will ask for witness protection? After all the Don, "Clinton" is back on the scene and we all knows what happens when they are crossed.

[hammocktime2002]

I am waiting with great interest. I hope he does out anyone who is a part of this

[thordoggie]

Q: what's the difference between the mafia and your government?

A: you elected your government!

[1fastkiller]

This is only the tip of the fucking iceberg. Every singly one of these thieves in Washington and elsewhere has been ripping us off for years. This is just one out of a thousand backhanded crooked deals that have taken place between these crook whore politicians! We are being fucked by these assholes and all you fucking Obama supporters act as if he couldn't possibly be crooked. Wake up idiots because your country is being sold to the highest bidder behind your backs by both parties.

[theaztexpaceman]

Is'nt this Jesse Jackson Jr.'s speech?

[sixfobrutha]

Now wait a damn minute!!! Obama has been covered almost 24/7 since WINNING THE PRESIDENCY. All of his phone calls are screend and recorded by the US Attorney Generals office and lets be real,Barack is too smart to have anything like this on his record. The republicans still think the American people are foolish. Barack had nothing to do with this. What could he gain? He the President, and the first black one he surely knows his every thought will be under a microscope. He just aint that stupid.

[1fastkiller]

You know absolutely nothing about what B.O. knew or didn't know. Stop acting like you have first hand access to him. You get fucking real. Every single one of these politicians be it "republicrate" or "demican" are ripping us off in every way they can. Are you so blind that you can't see the writing on the wall. Stop defending these theives like they have your best intentions at heart because you end up sounding like a patsy!

[sadieaugust]

Now that Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been arrested

and it looks like Obama could be a part of this whole mess

It's been said that people are cancelling their reservations

and are not going to Obama's inauguration.

It's looking like Oprah bought Obama's senate seat in 2004 from Blagojevich

for nothing. They are all going down.

[sadieaugust]

WOOoooHooOO! HOW MUCH INFO IS TONY REZKO RELEAZING TO THE FEDERAL INVESTIGATERS?

Obama's U.S. Senate campaign finance committee raised more than $14 million.

DID THIS CAMPAINGN MONEY ALSO HELP OBAMA BUY OBAMA'S SENATE SEAT FROM ILLINOIS GOV. BLAGOJEVICH AND WILL THE FBI UNCOVER IT IF THIS WAS THE CASE? WILL OBAMA BE ARRESTED NEXT?

en(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/­Tony_Rezko

[Minionuup]

I wonder how much Obama paid Blagojevich for his seat.

[carcabe]

There is something refreshingly honest about the outright sale of a Senate seat. Government and politics is all about theft, power, force and self-aggrandizement conducted under the guise of high ideals. It's for the people, the poor, the children. For once the curtain was ripped aside and we see it all for what it is. Blagojevich for man of the year.

[voxsingularis]

global warming - invented by Gorbachev

Obama cancelled his scheduled briefing with the FBI after learning about Blago

say, who's that guy on the left?

[BobbieJeanEndZone]

The guy on the left is the Vice President Elect Joe Biden. That is his bad angle side.

[midwest26]

I'am just upset at the people who voted him in what were you thinking? That Illinois has trustworthy politicians. Almost half of the governors and up in jail. Not to mention all the shady mob politics. I should know I'am from there.

[priorzola]

That's right midwest, all politicians from Illinois should be bared from seeking public office because SOME of them are greedy douchebags. And so are some from Alaska, Louisiana, Ohio, Texas, etc. Yes outlaw people from all states that had other people in that state commit crimes. Brilliant, such is the neo-con logic.

[BobbieJeanEndZone]

A number of the Judges have been corrupt and removed from the bench. Alderman have taken kick backs. Everyone wants their hand in the cookie jar. Interesting when Congressman Bobby rush was having cancer treatment Big mouth Jesse Jackson, Jr sad he should step down, OOPS!

[YouGotJEWD]

The liberal fags were right, Obama really brought in some CHANGE!!! 

AHAHAHAHA!!!! Joke is on all you ass-clowns that voted in this jerk-off. Yeah green jobs global warming blag blah blah fuck you motherfucker you are done before you even started.

[GeekGirl2u]

Obama better be scared when Gov of Ill makes a deal with the FBI to roll over on him gonna get nasty.And just what is Al gore doing there? Obama you must be nuts!Al Gore is a joke!!!!

[priorzola]

Sorry GeekGirl, the FBI know all the need to know about Obama's participation in this douchebags corruption. They have said that Obama was not involved. I hope you held that same fake moral outrage stance when Bush was politicizing the justice department and Scooter Libby was being sent up the river. No, Obama actually asks corrupt idiots to resign, BUSH protects them and then pardons them. Spare us your selective anger.

[theaztexpaceman]

sad,sober?,blah,blah,blah

noblahma.

[weninjason]

Anyone who believes that Obama isn't dirty, either liberal or conservative, is one beer short of a six pack. In the rat race of Illinois politics, only the dirtiest of dirt could rise to the top as fast as Mr Obama. He won't last 4 years without a scandal revolving around him. You've elected Chicago scum to the White House. This WILL be change you can see!

[theaztexpaceman]

Oblahma is'nt even president yet & he still may be impeached.Great choice in that voting thing America.

I'm calling for a re-count!

McCain*Palin/09

Change we can trust.

[gozips30]

And yet Bush couldn't be impeached for the shit he put us through let alone the troops in this bullshit war? I'm not even a democrat and think Bush did a terrible job! Worst thing I've done was to vote for him!

[luvobamas]

He said what he had to say about the Gov. and moved on. President elect Obama has a wonderful plan for the country. He wants to stay on track and not waste time with B.S. that he had nothing to do with him.

[priorzola]

Yes, luv, apparently neo-con tools hate their country more than their party because they do everything they can to derail an elected Decmocratic President every chance they get with every made up BS non-issue they can think off. Sorry tools, OBAMA is smarter than Bill Clinton, he's not going to give into your games. And Now is different than the relative peace and prosperity of the 90's, the country is tired of your BS reindeer games that does not service this country ONE BIT.

[countbelchula]

Why is he babbling on about GLOBAL WARMING? We all know it's a Hoax. Here in the Midwest we are freezing our asses off. Nice global warming there AL!! This isn't what the hell people give a shit about now. How about your interest in the current scandal? How come when anything bad happens somehow, someway Obama has his hand in the cookie jar? Yea,this man and Obama are in bed together.I hope it's exposed along with Jesse Jackson Jr.Just goes to show you cant' trust any Democrats.ANY OF THEM!

[midwest26]

Some scientist have mentioned that global cooling could actually be happening.

[theaztexpaceman]

NOBLAGO.

NOBLAHMA.

[Garlannd]

Al Gore on Manbearpig. Lol this totally made this clip. DID YUO SEE IT? DID YOU SEE!? I wish it was real, that'd save our asses when yellowstone blows.

Wheres gore's cape and Nobel prize?

[kjaw1122]

Actually I think Gore was on here to discus Manbearpig!

[kjaw1122]

Whats the matter with saying "Im not here to answer question about the governor. It's under investigation. I'm here to talk about wack job Gore's global warming bull shit" and leave it at that.

[joebob1889]

You know, just because Blagojevich is a moron doesn't mean that Obama is a crook (now I live in Illinois and I could tell you all that first hand, although I have no idea where the rest of you are from). This is just horrible timing for Obama, and he wasn't prepared to give comments on Blago's situation at a conference on global warming. Note how those two topics are vastly different. Now I don't think McCain would've handled this any better if Arizona's governor were arrested and he was elected

[barnsoldat91]

Obama has long since expended his political capital. There is absolutely no way that I am going to believe that he is not involved in this whatsoever.

[BobbieJeanEndZone]

Blago was kicked to the curb months ago, he did not even speak at the DNC. Lisa Madigan, was there and she is the Attorney General. Everybody in Illinois new what was going to happen to Blago. "We the people", just thought he would play nice and pick somebody. He was not even seen

in Grant Park election night. Now if people think Obama is involved why not drag Daley in the mix as well or maybe Dorothy Brown. LOL Please bring on the next news story. thank you!

[barnsoldat91]

yeah, why not? idiot.

[BobbieJeanEndZone]

"Idiot"? Look in the mirror!

[kjaw1122]

Wow he doesn't sound so clear and confident in this adress. Sounds like he fumbling over his words cause he knows he fucked. Great to know thats my president.

[barnsoldat91]

Dear God, am I tired of this pompous son a bitch... "saddened and sobered".. HE KNEW.

[gozips30]

We don't know for sure if he KNOWS, there is no evidence. We just have to wait and see.

[barry1111112003]

Obamas a crook...Cover it up Mr elect,your going down.

[danthevinylman]

,rezko will get them all be for its finished!

[midwest26]

I said the before the election, and I'll say it again. People really don't pay attention to politics if you knew how many shady politicians have gone to jail in Illinois you would have never trusted Obama. This guy does not have a track record, and you really don't know alot about him. He has not even entered office yet, and there is already a scandall about him lol lets see how long he lasts.

[StinkFingerr]

He's sober now?

[Wyldout]

Obama should just call Blago a damn dummy!!!!!!!

[reverendtriggafinga]

you are so right FINALLY 0726,the end IS near!

THE END OF CRAPITALISM!!!!

[papaboule]

Bugsy Blagojevich. His family was hurting, it's Christmastime, so he was just looking to cut his own bailout.

Obama will pardon him.

[rjl2000]

Obama, we had to listen to you lie your ass off about never hearing Rev. Wright spew hatred over the 20 years you were in your church...what's next? You didn't even know the Governor of your own state?

[finally0726]

rjl2000, in all fairness to Obama. He did not say he didn't know the Governor. The law says, "innocent until proven guilty." US Attorney Fitzgerald says, "Obama was not involved in the corruption." However, many Americans' that hate Obama won, is looking for anything to accuse him. Pray for our 44th President, as we have been praying for Bush. Remember, the one that lied that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. I pray for all Americans, not just Obama.

[rjl2000]

I never said that Obama said, "he didn't know the governor". My whole point was during his campaign he never took responsibility for anything. He had the nerve to say that in 20 years he never heard Rev. Wright spew any hatred which is hard to believe.

Now yesterday he said he had no contact with the governor while at the same time his chief strategist David Axelrod says he did. I am just saying that I am at the point where I don't believe anything he says and I don't trust him.

[priorzola]

rjl2000, are you still using Sean Hannity talking points? Just two months ago Sean Hannity said the economy is fine and during the lead up to Iraq he said we'd do swell. Why do people keep on listening to neo-con tools who have been nothing but professional Bush apologists for the last 8 yrs. Do you enjoy being lied to? There are NO conversations between Obama and Blago on the wiretaps. ZERO! Apparently Obama was BUSY assembling a team of people to pull us out of our rut (thanks to Bush).

[rjl2000]

No, I don't like being lied to and that's why I didn't vote for Obama. Just another Chicago thug politician and this scandal is gonna get dirty. Grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy.

Oh ya, nice cabinet selection. Why didn't he just take Clintons whole family on board lol! For a guy who campaigned on CHANGE and we need new ideas and faces in Washington...I don't see any yet..oh well, he will be out in 4 years.

[priorzola]

RJL2000, for someone who hates liars, you quote Hannity enough to disprove your own assertions. Sorry tool, Prosecutor Fitzgerald has already declared OBAMA innocent but thinks for judging before you know the acts (which you clearly aren't interested in finding out). What's a neo-con without a FAKE OUTRAGE scandal? They'd be clueless and have to actually focus on their useless lives and how mit's been spent supporting a failed party with failed policies.

[kjaw1122]

Actually Dumb Ass it says that there are no allegations in the preliminary Affidavit (which means they can still indite him) that Obama was involved. Which means that they are still investigating, which means he can still be involved. Keep waiting for that free ride.

[priorzola]

kjaw, and when that day comes you can drag him through the mud (just like you were so gung ho to make sure GW Bush's illegal dealings in the justice Department was thoroughly and properly prosecuted, right? Yeah, didn't think so). AGAIN, there are NO INDICTMENTS against OBAMA, Fitzgerald said so, OBAMA was born in Hawaii the state of Hawaii and the Supreme Court said so. So all you tools got is the word of Bush apologists like Sean Hannity and your own hate-filled imaginations. Good luck w/ that

[calosity]

Why do you keep bringing up Hannity? Can't someone draw they're own conclusions and not base them on some dipshit commentator? Or is everybody but you unable to possibly fathom whats best for our country? If you believe that any of those politicians aren't lying to you, I feel sorry for you. Obama isn't quite as big of a problem as Congress. These are the people you should truly fear. Career politicians selling laws to the highest bidder. I say term limits on all. no more 20 years in office.

[priorzola]

Calosity, if a person is using talking points straight from the rightwing hate machine's mouth, then they need to be called out for it. If you get political analysis by the same Bush apologists who lied about how easy the war would be and who up until a couple months ago insisted that the economy was swell, then you either enjoy being lied to or your too mentally deficient to realize that if a person is way off base all the time (or deliberately lies for political gain) then they're a tool.

[calosity]

I agree with you, to an extent. It's not a matter of a good party and a bad party. These politicians are littered in every nook and cranny of the branches of government. Sorry to say, but your savior Obama is no exception. He is a result of the Chicago political machine. And the story of Obama is already beginning to unwind itself. I say fuck Bush, fuck Obama. We deserve an actual choice, instead of who these party leaders think can win their party the seat.

[popcur]

Buy popcorn, before the prices go up. Higher demand could make popcorn much more expensive. The Obama years are going to have many, many wrecks. Dukes of Hazzard, The A Team, all wrapped up in one term. Airbags are required. lol

[finally0726]

rjl2000, it's not nice to dig ditches, it may just be for you. Be careful. Put down the popcorn, and pray.

[pfriverrat]

and obamas friends frank and dodd, said the banks and housing markets are fine back over the summer. what is your point. and i decect alot of fear, and uneasyness in obamas voice and body language.

[memama2]

rjl200...no one here believes anything Obama says~~and they do NOT trust him!!!~~that the liberal media and fake journalists never interviewed ONE of these minions next to Obama???,,,except the Fox news reporter who tried to talk to UnabomberAyers and had the POLICE!...called to escort Ayers back to his car away from ONE press person??...and the Death-to-Israel Dinner/Dance Obama and Ayers attended??(in the VAULT)..now we will see if this phone puzzle can be MUZZELED by Obama?: may be dialin 911

[priorzola]

AND I love how you tools watch a VP sell the energy policy of the US to Ken Lay and Enron and a President sell Iraq to Haliburton and Blackwater, and yet a governor (entirely for his own gain on his own auspices) using political opportunity to enrich himself is somehow the crime of the century. You tools really have NO sense of perspective.

[finally0726]

We the people of Illinois, must change the laws. I have become a victim of crime, per the laws in Illinois being so loose and open to business corruption. (taking advantage of the poor)

[priorzola]

YES TOOLS, spew your Hannity talking points and conveniently overlook the statement by Prosecuter Fitzgerald who said that OBAMA is 100% innocent and don't even try to read the report where NO CONTACT was made on the tap phone calls between Obama and Blago and even Dick Durbin couldn't get the guv to return his phone calls. And less not forget that the guv became enraged and suggesting that OBAMA should F*** himself when OBAMA'S people said that all he'd give the guv is "appreciation".

[finally0726]

priorzoa, Amen! I believe Biden saw this coming too. Many in Washington knew this was coming, however; I thank God, it happened after the Presidential election. This may have cost Obama dearly. Thank you Jesus.

[Favored17]

It wouldn't have hurt him.

Nothing else did..;-)

[BullshitArt101]

america is fucked. the president was spawned from this corrupt shit. i wonder how much the presidential seat is worth?

[cdub1776]

For Obama to say that he had no contact with the governor is embarrassing. Why not? He should have been aware of the situation as a "responsible Senator". He should have known and probably did. If he didn't know about the corruption of his peers he didn't do his job and won't as president either. He is a liar. He sat in the same room as Rod everyday. If he wasn't supporting his corruption then he should have stopped it. Period.

[calosity]

It sounds like his plan on changing DC is to give it a Chicago aftertaste. They are all connected in Chicago.... Five Illinois governors have been charged with crimes, either during the administrations or after. The first, Lennington Small, was acquitted. Otto Kerner, Jr., Daniel Walker, and George Ryan all served time in prison. The fifth, Rod Blagojevich, was charged on December 9, 2008, the first Illinois governor to face criminal complaints while in office.

[cdub1776]

Thanks.

I am tired of hearing democrat bullshit and how Obama is going to save America. He is going to pull the wool over its eyes and fuck it willingly with its legs spread.

Please, Obama, at least not in my face.

Bush might not have been a genius, but he didn't steal my money.

[finally0726]

cdub1776, Bush didn't STEAL YOUR money. Taxpayers are still paying for the wars. (billions of dollars) Gas prices just recently started decreasing, and it's at an all time low since 4 years ago. Food prices are ridiculous, but you say, "Bush didn't steal my money." No he didn't, HE TOOK IT. Is that better.

[drwalepen15]

This is why I hate America. They will do anything to push out the voice of reason. This was sad and embarrassing for the busy President and it took your attention of climate change.

Do you think Obama really had anything to do with that cheap swindler? They will get rid of him and he will be put away.

The small right is going to spoil America for sure at this rate.

Tell them to shut the F*** up so we can save our pensions.

[calosity]

He's the fucking governor of Illinois. Of course he had something to do with him. Axelrod came out in late november and said the Obama and the Illinois Governor were in contact in regards to replacing his seat. Now, all the sudden Obama says he had no contact with the governor, and Axelrod says that he misspoke. If you believe that shit, your more naive than I thought you were when you voted him in to office.

[cdub1776]

the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. chicago is where obama learned his politics. check out its political record.

[finally0726]

cdub1776, their are still good people around corrupt people. I strongly believe Obama 99.9 % obey the law. Do I believe Obama make mistakes, of course, he's admitted that. However, I believe Obama really believe in the ethics reform bill. Let's pray for our 44th President.  He has a lot on his plate. He's fighting for unity, let's stop the hatemongering and divisiveness.

[philblunt420]

um uh um ah Obama wants a piece of that Al Bore general electric "global warming" money

[flyboymd82]

How scary to see them all together!

This is what is in charge of our Country these days??

Looks like the three stooges!

[mochiam]

well I don't understand you americans, after 8 yrs of disastrous Bush administration, a strange 9/11, a wrong decided war in Irak, an unfinished war in Afganistan, and an economy collaps, you still attack the new elected president even if is not in office. So what's the problem? Is because is Black, or because of his political ideas? Mine is not a judgemental question I want simply to understand. Tnx

[finally0726]

mochaiam, It's because he's black, simple as that, point blank. Let's pray for Obama, his family, and this country. God is pulling the cover off corruption, and I pray he continue to do it from the White House to the poor house, we do not repent. This is another case, of the wealthy taking advantage of the poor. They love power and gifts. Their is no end to their corruption. Read Ezekiel the 21 & 22 chapter. The end is near.

[mochiam]

I'm sorry I'm a tolerant atheist so what you say about the bible has very little meaning. More interesting is your commentabout Obama. So I have a question. Are all or most of the Republicans rich and white? I don't pray, but I hope that he will be able to complete his mandate safely, because no one should die for his/her political and non political ideas. Tnx for answering me

[cdub1776]

finally0726...............shut up

[finally0726]

cdub1776, I am not talking, but I will talk. I do have freedom of speech, at this time anyway. But, I will comment as a please, I don't take orders from people like you, who are upset because we have a BLACK PRESIDENT. Na-ah-Na-ah-Na-na

[cdub1776]

finally0726 It's not black that bothers me.....it's the con-artist in him that bothers me. Stop playing the race card...it's over. He benefited greatly from the Fannie and Freddie ordeal and pals around with Marxist criminals. I don't vote by color. It's not 1958 anymore. He is a trickster just like his WHITE governor buddy, Rod.

[finally0726]

cdub1776, Do you really want to use the con-artist argument. I'm mean really...

[flyboymd82]

"Saddened and sobered" LOL! Does that mean he's been crunk on the Kool-aid lately??

Whats up with "Climate change"??? It used to be called "global warming". I guess now they can say its a man made problem when its too cold now too??? LOL! LIBTARDS!

I think I counted 132 "uhm's" in this "press conference" even though he only answered ONE question! LOL!

[FugitiveCon]

Climate "change" goes with the "change" of Obama's campaign.

I would love to know what happened to global warming. I hate this cold weather!!

Where's my global warming? I paid for my global warming, and I want my global warming damn it! LOL!!

[NHMntnHIGH]

if you live on the west coast the pacific is now -5 degrees over the last 4 years, atlantic up 5

[FugitiveCon]

Change?......change the subject!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at his eyes when he says he never talked to the Gov. or his office...

[chgosatrap]

The gov kept trying to get Obama to suggest a replacement, Obama refused to get involved, so we had 3 or 4 possibilities for that seat. The tapes the feds have show Blago being ticked that Obama didn't laugh and shuffle and get mixed up with him, that was made very clear. Blago really wanted the senate seat for himself, planning to run for prez in 2016. When Blago couldn't get his way, he is recorded as having

said "F(*& 'em!" refering to Obama and team.

BRING ON THE TAPES!~~~~

[bittergunowner12]

Actually the people of Illinois aren't saddened and sobered, they're cheering in the streets! Hes saddened and sobered because Blowabitch was suppose to be his successor in the Senate then they would both be laughing their asses off on how they ripped off America.

[DrCynic1]

You been ripped off?

[bittergunowner12]

By the Dems out here in California you mean? Yes!

[ginsley12]

Look how he nervously tries to change the subject over to climate change! ROFLMAO! His home state governor just got arrested, Rezko is deep into the crap and Axelrod has already stated that Obama was in contact with Blago all the time and knew all about the open senate seat.

Obama, I hope you get arrested and do time for the crimes you have cost this country, including lying about being a natural born citizen. Liars, thieves and crooks. all of em!

[OhItsJustMe2]

Oh look! the 3 stooges!

[bittergunowner12]

Don't you mean Obomba, Piglosi and Dingy Harry?

[SestrenNK]

Hey now, that's pretty low. Don't lower the Stooges to such a low standard. Show some respect to Curly, Moe and Larry :).

But man, what I'd do to see these neo-stooges slap, poke and smack one another to no end.

Thanks for posting this.

Obama distanced himself from Blago a while back. When they were trying to press Obama for his recommendation for someone to replace him, he avoided it, saying it was left up to the gov. The taped conversations Blago had with some cronies show he was PO'd with Obama for not get involved with it.

[ginsley12]

gimme a break, already axelrod is showing obama for the liar he is. Obama's going down, you can see it on his ugly mug. rightfully so, too.

[DrCynic1]

Forget it, BO is your prez starting jan 20th. Good luck in the next four years Americans!

[supersmashbros011]

How come Extreme-leftist cities like chicago, New York, Detroit, and Los Angeles are always the most corrupt??????

[TechnoDevotee]

don't forget Anchorage ;)

[ejb812]

Don't forget that there are third parties

[ginsley12]

yeah, would be a good time for the democrats to start distancing themselves from the liberal machine. This is gonna explode soon.

[groovemonzter]

What did Obama know and when did he know it?

[bittergunowner12]

Ya thats why Blago and Obama have a cozy relationship with Rezko.

[dirtyshiksa]

Obama cleaned up Illinois now he's going to clean up America.
