Did he honestly think he wouldnt get caught? So dumb!
 
You'd have to give me a lifetime supply of beer, lifetime supply of sacred herb, a mansion complete with playboy bunnies and much, much more to buy me off.

Apparenly, most people realize that and no one's tried to buy me off (I am technically a public official..member of a state commission).
 
See the Illinois state show true color that leaders, governor, mayors are so political corruptions and miserable!

Obama's favorable and habitual words:
Obama doesn't know anything about blagojevich, didn't know bill ayers, didn't know Tony Rezko, Didn't know what Jeremiah Wright was saying every sunday for 20 years, didn't know he had a half brother living in a cardboard shack in kenya, didn't know about his illegal alien Aunt who was living in public housing and with tax payer assistance in boston for years.

But today, Obama is telling his worshipping maases that he "never" spoke to the Illinois governor about his (obama's) replacment.

So, David Axeirod was lying two weeks ago, or Obama is lying today.

Who do YOU think is (or was) lying?

What does Obama have to do with this and why are you falling into the trap of blaming him? :roll:

Why? He had nothing to do with this.

He wasn't the one auctioning off his senate seat. It was Rod Blagojevich. Gotta love how people jump to conclusions.

OMG, Chicago! That means it's Obama! Oh nozzz!!!

Sounds like a repeat of the McCArthy era to me! Accusations, black lists, people's lives and careers ruined all based on nothing more than a few people's unsubstantiated paranoia over communism. Same kind of lies being spread as "truth" then too.

There have been traitors for thousands of years among the communities. Nothing new. That's why so many stories have been written dating back centuries.

She'd fit in well with the 1950s era. Red-baiting never gets old.
 
Illinois voters say Blagojevich must go
Illinois voters say Blagojevich must go - Yahoo! News

WASHINGTON — More than nine out of ten people in Illinois think that Gov. Rod Blagojevich should resign since he was arrested on corruption charges, according to a new Ipsos / McClatchy online poll.

The survey found that 95 percent of adults in the state think that Blagojevich should step down, as several public figures, including President-elect Barack Obama , have urged.

If he doesn't resign, 92 percent of Illinois adults think he should be impeached and removed from office by the state legislature, the survey found. While the online survey has no statistical margin of error because it's based on an opt-in online panel, the sample of 405 Illinois adults was weighted to balance the sample like the state's population, a technique that corporate America relies upon in market research polling.

The Illinois House of Representatives this week voted unanimously to create a committee to explore impeaching Blagojevich.

He's accused of trying to extort a cushy job from the incoming Obama administration in exchange for appointing an Obama pal to Obama's vacant Senate seat. The governor has the sole power to name someone to the seat for the two years remaining in Obama's six-year term.

Blagojevich also is accused of selling government contracts in exchange for contributions to his campaign war chest, as well as trying to extort the Chicago Tribune to fire a critical editorial writer.

Perhaps shocked to see another of their governors charged with a crime — he's the fourth charged with a felony since the late 1960s — Illinois residents also appear cynical about the state's political morality. The survey found just 5 percent saying that corruption there is limited to Blagojevich; 95 percent said the problem isn't confined to the governor.

The state's adults were more divided about how Illinois should pick a replacement to fill out the remainder of Obama's Senate term:

— 44 percent said the state should have a special election;

— 35 percent said the power to appoint a successor should be transferred to Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn ;

— 19 percent think the state legislature should choose a replacement for Obama;

— 2 percent think Blagojevich should pick the new senator.

Democrats at first urged a special election, but have backed off as some party insiders began to fear that they could lose the seat to a Republican. Instead, they're pushing for Blagojevich to resign, which would allow Quinn to name the successor and guarantee that the seat remains in Democratic hands.

At a news conference in Chicago Tuesday, Obama sidestepped a question about whether he supported a special election.
