The Obama and Blagojevich Connection

I said the following yesterday: "and it would come as no surprise to me if he had connections with Blago as well. Chicago political thugs run in packs, and their ties run deep." I found this picture today:



Oh, and I also saw these articles on Drudge:

Obama Says No Contact...

Axelrod Flashback: 'I know he's talked to the governor and there are whole range of names'...

'Misspoke'...

Rahm Emanuel in the middle?

Connection between Obama and Gov. Blago? It's looking like it.


Furthermore, it looks like it may have even been Obama to blow the Whistle on Blago. Why? Dunno, perhaps he wanted Blago lynched before any more damage was done, before any investigations probed deeper into possible connections to "higher-ups." But that's just one man's speculation.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton issued the following statement today in response to the arrest of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich:

"There has been an air of lawlessness around Governor Blagojevich for some time and Judicial Watch applauds U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald for his actions.

"Blagojevich's corruption is no surprise, but its breadth and depravity is shocking. The alleged efforts to sell the Senate seat of Barack Obama are outrageous, but also seem to implicate many other powerful politicians and political players. Especially disturbing are the questions the scandal raises about Barack Obama and his close associates.

"This is a burgeoning crisis for Obama that should shake his presidency to its core.

"The criminal complaint filed today indicates that Obama and his team knew about Blagojevich's efforts to sell Obama's Senate seat. ("Tony" Rezko, Obama friend, fundraiser and real estate partner, is once again implicated in the corrupt activities exposed today.)

"Did Obama report Blagojevich to investigators about any efforts to sell his Senate seat?"
