Oh man, I can hear it now....

Blago: Come on Barrack, you owe me, I already paid you cash....

Obama: Ok Rod...I'll see what I can do....

:roll:
 
If Barack ever wants to show his face in Chicago again, he will leave that prick Blago right where he is. Even Democrats in Illinois hate Rod.
 
Bah, this isn't really breaking news. Blago has no shame, or he wouldn't have the gall to even ask. Now if Obama is dumb enough to commute his sentence, that would be breaking news.
 
Maybe Trump will be sympathetic.

They both have terrible hair.

WTF are you going on about? My "hero"?? Are you nuts? Do you actually read the posts you reply to? Because this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what I posted. You need to take a deep breath, and comprehend what is actually said instead of fabricating what you wish had been said so you can fling out a completely irrelevant insult.

Merry Christmas. Drink some eggnog. Chill out. Happy holidays.
