Good. Obama is above the fray.. he won't be tainted by this.

 

 Yup, Obama the only honest Chicago politician confirmed.

Obama working for him in 2002 and endorsing him in 2006 was just a youthful indiscretion.

Name one great President who had no connections whatsoever to corrupt politicians.

 

 

 Teddy Roosevelt, greatest president evar.

Lol.

In general, the guilt by association game is a bad one to play.  I mean if that politician himself is actually doing questionable things, then I think speculation about there associations is more reasonable.  But the prosecutor here has made it clear that he isn't charging Obama with anything.

Still, one has to admit that the laundry list of sketchy characters around Obama continues to grow. I don't regret supporting him in the last month of the election, but I'm not above calling out things I don't trust about him, either.

He surrounded himself with some pretty lousy people during his relatively short political career. Of course, being from Illinois, it's hard not to, but it's still a sign that people should look past his charm and eloquence and put the man on a short leash.

Apparently, Blagojevich made it pretty clear on the tapes that he was pissed off at Obama and his people.  They refused to "pay-to-play".  They would only give him "graditude", and not kick-backs.

Still.  Why didn't the Obama team report the govoner to the Feds?

Knowing someone is dirty... and beign able to get proof and not turning them in is just as bad as playing ball with them.
