***the story--
Michelle Obama Is The “Specifically Named Individual” On Page 64 of The Affidavit Submitted by FBI : NO QUARTER

"Please read the Criminal Complaint filed by David W. Cain, Special Agent of the FBI. Details of the conversations Blagojevich had with his operatives about Barack Obama and the possibility Barack Obama would strike several deals with Blagojevich regarding the open Senate seat are discussed, and yes, quotations are provided... The “specifically named individual” is Michelle Obama, who was appointed to the Board of TreeHouse Foods, a WAL-MART vendor, on June 25, 2005, even though she did not have experience in the private sector previous to the appointment."

***the criminal complaint document--

The official criminal complaint (pdf file)... Pages 58 thru 78 refer to the Obamas.
(U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois, December 7, 2008)
 
"...do nothing and give this “mother****er [the President-elect] his senator. **** him. For nothing? **** him.”

To me, that sounds like Obama wasn't involved in the scandelous par tof it all. It sounds like he was promoting a candidate.

If anything, it shows that Obama wasn't playing ball on th ecorruption ****.
 
obama never seems to know what is going on around him just like he was not aware of rev. wright's racist comments even though he was a member of his church for 20 years.

his inexperience is showing. he can't get his story straight with his own people---

=====
My Way News - Obama works to distance himself from Ill. governor

"...Still, at the very least, the episode amounts to a distraction for Obama at an inopportune time just six weeks before he's sworn into office. It also raises the specter of notorious Chicago politics, an image Obama has tried to distance himself from during his career.

There were signs the continuing investigation could still involve him.

His statement that he didn't have contact with Blagojevich about the Senate seat seems to conflict with that of top adviser David Axelrod, who told Fox News Chicago on Nov. 23: "I know he's talked to the governor, and there are a whole range of names, many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them."

Obama transition officials say Axelrod misspoke."

It's so Clintonesque.
 
it's funny when the partisan ones who have been the martyrs for the past 8 years are now suddenly in the hot seat...

:2razz:

don't blame me, i haven't voted republican OR democrat for the past 4 elections...

oh, how's i do love to watch 'em squirm though...
 
Blago, Rezko, Rev. Wright, Pfleger, Ayers, Farrakhan, Khalidi, ACORN......

I just can't keep it all straight.
 
There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again...
 
Would it be too impolite to ask whom you voted for Hackster?
 
"Blagojevich said he knew that the President-elect wanted Senate Candidate 1 for the open seat but 'they're not willing to give me anything except appreciation. **** them.' "

Not only is Obama not dirtied by this scandal, it actually makes him look cleaner.

no, i don't mind at all - chuck baldwin, constitution party.

for the last 4 elections, i have voted either constitution party or libertarian.
 
hackster, thank you.

To Kernel Sanders I would say, perhaps Obama is as you say clean.
But my take is that we are at the start of this mess, we do not yet have all the facts.
I will not condemn Obama until proof is forthcoming, but as for those within his organization, there is a huge question mark hanging over some of their heads, he Obama is at the head of his organization and already we have at least one of his advisers backtracking, how many more to come?
Every time one of his advisers backtracks it serves to diminish his authority as well as lay him open to yet more detailed questioning.
This situation has a long way to go.

Obama would have to be stupid to risk it all by playing the game in this situation. What concerns me is that the Govenor expected him to play. Did Obama ever play the game as an Illinois congressman, that's the area that needs investigating.
 
An interview to a Mayor of Illinois revealed how the mafia rules in their politics. This Mayor was repeating that for the good of Blagojevich's "family" and of Illinois, Blagojevich must resign.

"Family?" and, if Blagojevich doesn't resign, my dear Mayor, what do you think it will happen to his family?:shock:
 
in this matter... he may be clean...
however, there's a lot of "misspeaking" goin' on.

i would also add, for a prez-elect, to have a few scandals running, partisan politics aside, he STILL is a month away from inauguration...

makes me wonder what the REAL administration is gonna be like...
