The Obama-Blago Connection

The Obama-Blago Connection: "The activist old media does not want to make this connection.

Barack Obama and Rod Blagojevich go way back. They emerged from the same cesspool that is Illinois/Chicago politics.

Obama and Rahm Emanuel helped run Blago’s first campaign for Governor of Illinois, which he has now thoroughly disgraced (if that is possible with the governorship of that state.)

Now that Blago has been convicted of trying to sell the “Obama Senate seat,” the media will work overtime to keep their beloved Dear Leader out of this. They might even try to make Obama a victim of sorts. Meanwhile, Obama played an integral role in making sure Blago got there in the first place. Obama was a “top advisor” to Blagojevich in the general election when he ran for governor in 2002.

I’ll give you $10 bucks for every time you hear the media mention that fact over the next couple days.

Emanuel says it was he and Obama who “were the top strategists of Blagojevich’s 2002 gubernatorial victory.” Thanks guys. Good job at putting Blago in office.
