Obama & Blagojevich Chicago Politics Circus

[ECwashr]

Man this guy is THE BEST liar I have ever encountered. Anyone who actually believes this clown wasn't in the middle of Blago/Resko dirty corrupt politics, I have a bridge to sell you.

[kate33324]

Rashid.. you seem to be obsessed with gay sex. That speaks volumes about YOU!

[AnimalPlanetSFC7]

wow you really are 12. sorry.

[AnimalPlanetSFC7]

i feel so bad for people like you. so One-Dimensional. Can't see beyond the color of a man's skin. Does Ethnicity play a role in electing a president? Maybe if you 12 years old. And you're homophobic. congradulations. Your an idiot who has no morals. And for the record, Obama's half black. Race doesnt matter, but everyone keeps calling him black. he is bi-racial. there's a difference.

[AnimalPlanetSFC7]

does anyone REALLY think Obama is being Honest and Forthcoming here?? COME ON!!

[AnimalPlanetSFC7]

you can't use Bush as a destraction forever!!!Look, Ladies and Gentlemen,How does it feel to be LIED too by Obama?Does it feel "different" than being lied too by Bush? I am a registered independent, And IM not buying it,no kool-aid for me.Obama is as corrupt and crooked as the rest of them in Washington.The media sold Obama to people like Rashid651 and like a useless moron he will relentlessly support Lord Obama. Obama could spit in many of you supporters' Faces and you would probably thank him.

"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".

[BUCKWHEATOBAMA]

Barack Obama is a black bastard

[bj07bran7]

Well hes your president now...Get use to it bitch.

[BUCKWHEATOBAMA]

SORRY.

I MEANT A HALF-BLACK BASTARD.

[bj07bran7]

Half-black? Hell, im half black. But I'm still black because mostly my heritage is black.

Most blacks today are bound to be mixed with something. We dont call them half black just because of that. They are black, because they are mostly black.

retard. So next time you or anyone else says nigger remember your disrespecting your leader and president

[BUCKWHEATOBAMA]

okay. sorry.

...but he IS a bastard!

[randomglen]

He wasnt aware of any contact with Blago but his Chief of Staff was many times.. hmmm is your Chief of staff not communicating with you Obama? Whats wrong did Rahm take your lunch money chump

[stellamaris347]

And finally, just because some people got really excited that a presidential candidate could steer things in a better direction after these dismal, insane last 8 years, that doesn't mean Obama supporters in general see him as a "messiah". In fact most of us really like how he focuses on what WE can do, not what he can do for us(ie "save us"). So, it's extremely refreshing to have the prospect of a US pres who is halfway intelligent and decent-that doesn't mean we won't hold him accountable!

[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.

[stellamaris347]

Blago on Obama: "During a wiretapped November 10 call"..."Blagojevich referred to Obama as a "motherfucker" and said that he would not appoint an ally of the President-elect to the Senate vacancy if "I don't get anything." Referring to Obama, Blagojevich exclaimed, "Fuck him. For nothing? Fuck him." Blagojevich remarked that he knew Obama wanted Valerie Jarrett, a longtime confidante, to succeed him, "but they're not willing to give me anything except appreciation. Fuck them."

[RocketAlley01]

He was the US Senator from IL and Blago was the Gov. How could they not have worked together? I don't even understand this argument.

[ntf284]

Now, the media has always told us how brilliant and genius he is, so, if you believe the BS they've been churning out for 2 years now, then it seems your only choice is (b.)--fucking liar.

Are Kool-Aid hangovers wearing off yet nationwide?

[ntf284]

I've said it before and I'll say it again.  There is only one choice:

a.) Obama is the world's dumbest, most naive, gullible and oblivious human being to NOT know that EVERYONE he has worked with and had cocktails with is corrupt, and in many cases, criminal, or

b.) He is the biggest fucking liar we've ever seen, and keeps doing it because he gets a pass on EVERYTHING, and he always will. This also indicates that he thinks Americans are complete dumbasses that wouldn't dare question him.

[stellamaris347]

nft284-you've got to be either:

a) extremely naive, etc. to think a politician could be ignorant of corruption in politics. Obama pushed the state senate to override Blago's veto of an ethics reform bill, indicating he does in fact know there's a problem.

b)extremely naive,etc. to think that someone can ascend to the presidency without working within the political establishment. This certainly doesn't make him "the biggest liar we've ever seen". Esp. if he's not directly involved in shady deals.

[ntf284]

Honesty is not exactly Obama's forte. I'm not referring to this sole incident, but to this along w/ myriad half-truths, untruths and "Whoopsies! I didn't know (fill in name here) was: totally corrupt/extremely racist/an American-hating domestic terrorist/a crook & slumlord/a Palestinian sympathizer & harsh critic of Israel/etc." He just "didn't know" any of it. What's naive is to believe him. By the time we're done w/him, he may well be "the biggest liar we've ever seen". Don't sell him short.

[BUCKWHEATOBAMA]

he didnt know anything about rev. Wright

he didnt know anything about Rezko

he didnt know anything about Bill Ayers

he didnt know anything about blagojevich

how can one man be so sharp AND clueless?!

[bj07bran7]

all that combined isn't enough to justify not voting for him and puting in John McCain, who has a running mate dumber than I could ever imagine a governer could be. He's old, he most likely would of died in office, and we would be royaly screwed when Palin took over.

Obama, even if you dont like him, was simply the lesser of 2 evils. You cannot deny this.

Not like he was my first choice, shure I would of voted Ron Paul but he didnt make it on the ballot

[1kkyu]

What did he know and when did he know it?

[thekingsnotdead]

What a wonderful, compelling and outright inspirational statement!!! I'm so happy President-elect Obama is so honest and quick to respond to yet another horrible circumstance in the Chicago political scene.... what a putz.

Wake up America... how many examples do you need? These 'coincidences' are more than embarrassing for this country, it's down right pathetic.

We need Obama's 'CHANGE' just like we need diarrhea.

[theaztexpaceman]

Impeach NOBLAGO

Impeach NOBLAHMA

[KeepItRealPlease]

Clearly, we're all in the wrong business.

[ChicagoJoe57]

How do you work in Ill. politics and not deal with the Governor? It is nice debating with crackheads on this forum.

[logansGT]

Rezko, Ayers, Dohrn, Wright, Pfleger, Meeks, Khalidi, Farrakhan, ACORN, and now Blagojevich !

It's amazing how Obama was associated with the worst people in the corrupt Chicago political machine and came out smellin' like a rose.

[sokarsfleet]

Thats not the Blago I knew stupid community organizer!

[kate33324]

ROFLMAO @ "That's not the Blago I knew." Obambi has said that quite a few times, now, hasn't he??
