Illinois Politics

[Puckstop31]

I have known several people that wound up in jail. So? (yes, I am not running for public office, but guilt by association is ridiculous at any level).

Guilt by association? No. Suspicion by association? You bet.


Would you not agree the following quote is pretty accurate?

"Show me your friends and I will show you your future."

No, I would not agree with that statement.

Here's the reason I posted the link to the article:

But on November 23, 2008, his senior adviser David Axelrod appeared on Fox News Chicago and said something quite different.

While insisting that the President-elect had not expressed a favorite to replace him, and his inclination was to avoid being a "kingmaker," 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."

And it changes

(UPDATE #2: Axelrod this evening issued a statement saying. "I was mistaken when I told an interviewer last month that the President-elect has spoken directly to Governor Blagojevich about the Senate vacancy. They did not then or at any time discuss the subject.")

And then referring to the Illinois Gov. election campaign:

Emanuel told the New Yorker earlier this year that he and Obama "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."

Wilhelm said that Emanuel had overstated Obama's role. "There was an advisory council that was inclusive of Rahm and Barack but not limited to them," Wilhelm said, and he disputed the notion that Obama was "an architect or one of the principal strategists."

(An Obama Transition Team aide emails to note that Emanuel later changed his recollection of this story to Rich Miller's "CAPITOL FAX," saying, "David [Wilhelm] and I have worked together on campaigns for decades. Like always, he's right and I'm wrong.")

Now, these people are all in the public eye, all know they're under a microscpoe, but still they can't get their stories straight.

You think they might have had a meeting or two before this broke to get their lies together?

You are making a giant assumption that Obama knew the intimate
details about the Ill Gov's life, that Obama could have predicted the crimes.

No assumptions about anything, just wondering when Sen. Obama's counselors for change are going to get together and come up with a coherent story.

Why do they owe anything to anybody?

It appears that some here are in the same camp as Sean Hannity. Last night he was all but dancing with delight at the prospect of linking Obama with this mess. He basically ignored Karl Rove and Mike Huckabee who were not at all impressed with the supposedly damning evidence.

Do you really think Obama would be so stupid as to get involved in something so blatantly corrupt?

Looks like a case of Obama derangement syndrome.

Because they are representing the man who will take the most powerfull office in the world.
