Why are people blaming Obama, trying to implicate him, and dirty his hands up when another man took illegal actions. You republicans are going to have to sit back an take a long eight year ride which is just getting going. Relax, it it will be okay.

The Fox News video above has been pulled. I wonder why?

I think it’s amusing that the left just refuses to see any wrong doing here. I agree, OF COURSE someone from the Obama team was in touch regarding the filling of his senate seat. Why would he lie about it? Cause he sure did, at least from the footage I’ve seen. OF COURSE they caught his rep on tape having this discussion. Why didn’t his rep tell someone bribes were being solicited? At the very least, team Obama has disappointed me. I realize that rethinking Obama’s halo may be frightening, but wouldn’t that be in your best interest? What does this guy have to do to make you realize you’ve been had?

Ironically, the biggest problem, if this pans out, is that Obama looked America in the eye yesterday and flat out lied to the American public when he said he is “absolutely certain” his campaign had no contact with Blagojevic regarding the Senate seat. I mean, flat out LIED.

It’s not just a “right” issue. Obama is just another pol who failed to learn the lesson that the cover-up is almost always worse than the crime – the crime in this case being that the Obama campaign knew there was a crime in progress regarding the Senate seat he was still holding, and did not report it to the FBI.

President-elect Obama said yesterday that he is confident no one on his team participated in any pay for play negotiations. He never said no one from his team spoke with Blago. That is why he said his team is gathering all communications with Blago and will present those to the public. You are true morons if you think that there will be no communications between and outgoing senator and the governor! I’m from Arizona, and if and when McCain steps down, I hope whoever is governor will ask McCain for advice and suggestions on who his successor will be. That would be wise an the right thing to do, and it would totally be in the best interest of our state. So stop acting like talking with Blago was a crime or wrong per se!!!

Speaking to the Governor about the Senate seat is something which is not unusual. When a vacancy occurs, I am sure many meetings are held to discuss the way forward. That makes perfect sense. That is different from requiring payment for consideration.

Nobody – except the right side – is suggesting anything untoward going on in the Obama camp. Seems to be a huge case of sour grapes.

[...] So why all the lies? When you’re in a hole, stop spinning (or something like that): Obama’s confindence that no one on his team discussed his senate seat with scumbucket Blagojevich may soon be shattered. This Chicago Fox Affiliate has an exclusive that Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff, spoke with Governor Rod Blagojevich on “multiple occasions” about the Senate succession of Obama’s open seat. He is likely to be on FBI wiretaps. [...]
