As you noted, its not credible to believe his office wouldn't have offered their suggestions to Blago's office, and I can't find whatever statement you're referencing in which Obama did make such a claim.<BR/><BR/>I can only find Obama saying that he personally had not spoken with Blagojevich. Not that his office hadn't been in contact with the Gov. His words concerning his office were that no one had tried to "make a deal." In other words, that no one in his office was connected with Blago's efforts to sell the seat. And that is a statement that's been pretty well borne out by the facts. We've got Blago on tape saying that all the Obama people were offering was "appreciation" and then cursing them.<BR/><BR/>There's just no scandal here as far as the incoming administration is concerned. You can bet if there was, Patrick Fitzgerald would pursue it. He's proven himself a pretty clean and efficient prosecutor.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12691245697175068653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990421549250217168.post-9264765428469507342008-12-19T10:03:00.000-05:002008-12-19T10:03:00.000-05:00I think Obama should come out to "Lies" by the Tho...I think Obama should come out to "Lies" by the Thompson Twins on Inauguration Day.<BR/><BR/>Lies lies lies yeah.<BR/><BR/>- AP<BR/>aaronproctor.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
