Liberals Miss The Point On Blago-Obama
Dec 20, 2008 Political
The liberals who supported the Messiah, Barack Obama, have completely missed the point on his connection to corrupt Governor Blagojevich. The left continues to harp on the “fact” that Obama had nothing to do with what was going on and that it was a shock to the Sainted One. Perhaps this is true though I find it hard to believe that Obama sailed through Illinois politics unscathed and untouched by the turds floating in that sewer system. But, for the sake of argument, let us suppose that Obama is clean.
The Blago issue has brought to light much more important issues than if Obama has been tainted by Illinois corruption. This entire episode has demonstrated that, contrary to his claim of change, Obama is nothing more than a typical politician. His claims of transparency are now null and void as he has lied to America and he has not been transparent. Couple this with the possibility that he was tipped off about the Blago wiretaps (which allowed Valerie Jarrett to conveniently drop out) and we can see that Obama is politics as usual.
When Barack Hussein Obama had the chance to be straight with the American public he decided to lie. Now, this is nothing new to those of us who have not taken a drink of his Kool Aid. He has lied about any number of things and he is covering something up with regard to his birth. But, when the Blago story broke, America had a chance to see the true Obama. He said that no one in his camp had anything to do with it, that no one had been in contact with Blago and that he was shocked at what was taking place.
It turns out that Obama had contact through Rahm Emanuel and that Emanuel was pushing for Jarrett to be given the Senate seat by a certain date. Emanuel was recorded about 21 times conversing with the governor and his aides. From reports about the conversations it appears as if Emanuel was the messenger for Obama who wanted Jarrett to get his seat. This all shows that Obama lied when he said that neither he nor his folks had any contact with Blago or his people. He later amended this to indicate that no “inappropriate” contact had taken place.
This episode only shows that Obama is nothing more than a typical politician who will lie when it is convenient and then change that lie when evidence shows that he is being untruthful. He is not the change we need because nothing has changed.
Not to worry though, Obama has conducted an internal review and concluded that all is fine, above board, and legal. Suppose the Big Three auto makers went to DC and said they had conducted an internal review and that all was well they just needed money. Do you think Obama would be happy with that? Maybe the next time someone is accused of a crime he can tell the judge that he conducted an internal review and no wrong doing occurred. I am sure this will be OK.
The shine is wearing off Obama very rapidly. He is not in office yet and has a mini scandal to deal with. He handled it poorly because he thought that he could do as he has all along and just bamboozle the media and his followers and it would all go away. There are those who are still in the dark and it is unlikely that they will ever change their minds about the Sainted One.
This is why the liberals miss the point.

It Is Official, Obama Says No Wrongdoing
Dec 16, 2008 Political
When the story about Governor Blagojevich trying to sell Obama’s Senate seat broke, The Sainted One said that he did not have any contact with the governor. He then said that none of his people had contact. For several days there were pictures of Obama and Blagojevich together. There were stories of the two meeting and David Axelrod said that he knew that the two had met. He said it a month before it mattered and then retracted it when Obama contradicted it with a lie.
In any event, Obama assured us that there were no contacts and then he said he was going to have an internal investigation which he knew would show there had been no contacts. After four days he completed the investigation and what do you know, Obama said there were no inappropriate contacts. He had to change from no contacts to no inappropriate contacts because it is now well known that his would be Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, was caught on tape discussing the issue.
Perhaps Obama can explain how it is that he had no contact with Blagojevich when he [Obama] sent Emanuel to discuss the candidates who would be acceptable to him. If Obama sent him then it is contact. It is not face to face contact but Emanuel contacted Blagojevich on behalf of Obama and with his full knowledge. Therefore, Obama had contact with Blagojevich specifically for the purpose of discussing the Senate seat, a topic Obama says was never discussed.
Obama’s desire to be the candidate of change, the guy who brings a new kind of politics to Washington is a pipe dream now. He lied to the public. He and his people might not have done anything wrong but he lied about the contact. His first instinct was to lie which makes him no different than 99.9% of all the other politicians.
It took him four days to investigate and that should say something because, as pointed out at NRO:
Truth Is Available Immediately, But Lies Take Time To Coordinate
They had to make sure they knew what Emanuel said and did and they had to make sure that they all had it straight that The Sainted One has no dirt under his nails.
One last thing that is very convenient. It has been alleged that Fitzgerald kept hush-hush about certain aspects of the investigation prior to the election so as not to hurt Obama’s chances. Now, according to Obama, Fitzgerald wants him to wait until the week of the 22nd to release the results of the internal investigation. Obama will be on vacation and people will be wrapped up in last minute Christmas shopping. This should pretty much bury whatever he found out.
Looks like Barry is getting his very own Fitzmas present…
