Barack Obama has Gov. Rod Blagojevich Arrested

Today in Chicago a eager Barack Obama stated “Obviously like the rest of the people of Illinois I am saddened and sobered by the news that came out of the US attorney’s office today,” . . .hesitantly he added “But as this is a ongoing investigation involving the governor I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to comment on the issue at this time.”

When he was asked about his contact with the governor regarding the replacement he stated for the record “I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening.”

BIG PROBLEM! ! ! !

Barack Obama Lies again,

Watch the below video where Axelrod said, “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.”

While Barack Obama is a liar, there is more information at this time point to the fact that Obama was not willing to go along with the Illinois governors “pay to play” approach to finding his replacement. Instead Obama only offered “gratitude” if the governor appointed his close friend Valerie Jarrett.

That begs the question, of how did Blagojevich know that Obama was not willing to give anything in exchange.

What did the governor expect from the man who recently raised $650 million to buy his way into the White House?

It’s also worth noting that Obama did have a VERY close relationship to Blagojevich. Obama endorsed him in both the 2002 and 2006 elections and Obama served as a top adviser to the Illinois governor during his 2002 campaign.

This was confirmed by Emanuel who told the New Yorker earlier this year that Obama had “participated in a small group that met weekly when Rod was running for governor. We basically laid out the general election, Barack and I and these two.”

My prediction is that as time goes on, Obama will be shown to have deep ties to the corruption and organized crime that seems to be in the DNA of the great state of Illinois.
