Why is Barack Obama Lying About Contact with Hot Rod Blagojevich?
Posted by: Flap in Barack Obama, Rod BlagojevichWhy is Barack Obama lying about contact with Illinois Governor Blagojevich? The above video (3:31) shows Obama explicitly stating on December 9, 2008: “I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening.”
Yet, this photograph of one week previously (December 2, 2008) shows otherwise:
President-elect Barack Obama, right, greets Illinois Gov. Rob Blagojevich, left, at the Bipartisan meeting of the National Governor’s Association at Congress Hall, Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2008 in Philadelphia, Pa. Looking on are Gov. of Indiana., Mitch Daniels, left center, and Gov. of Ohio, Ted Strickland, right center.
The question is: Does Patrick Fitzgerald have Obama or close Obama aids on tape discussing Obama’s Senate seat with Hot Rod Blagojevich?
Certainly, Obama had motive and opportunity to discuss the Senate replacement matter personally with Hot Rod.
Exit Question: Will Obama be called before the Chicago Grand Jury to answer questions in the matter before the inauguration?
Stay tuned…..

Fooling with some Hot ROD
Rock and Roll…OHIO?
Obama should know he invented self-ag·gran·dizing!
Keep digging until the fat lady sings.
They look pretty happy for a first meeting. IMO!

Here’s post with a screen capture of a now deleted story from the local news about how Obama was meeting with the corrupt gov the day after the election to discuss who was going to fill his seat.

@2 I believe that deleted story was taken down because the reporting of the meeting was proven false. But, my updated post has more on the flap: http://flapsblog.com/2008/12/11/updated-why-is-barack-obama-lying-about-contact-with-hot-rod-blagojevich-part-two/

Aue contraire’ He has a look in his eyes (Prez Elect) that says “I am shaking hands with this snake but have no way to avoid doing so. There are niceties required of a politician that should be adhered to ( Bogo did contribute to campaign but hey not Obama’s fault). How could he refuse to shake hands and make nice with the gov of his state regardless of what a lunatic he is. Obama had to be somewhat aware of his oddities (bojo) and probably tried to distance himself as best he could. Politics is tough business.
Obama is a cut above most of the sleaze

@5
So, you say.
I am not so sure about Obama’s lack of involvement with Hot Rod and Tony Rezko. Obama’s culture of corruption with these two go back quite a few years.
Do you really think someone from Obama’s staff did NOT talk with Blagojevich about the Senate seat? And, then not report back to “The One?”

This photo is from a meet and greet, and means nothing.

Uh Huh….. no contact, right?
Same room, go off to the side for a private conversation. Who is to say?

Obama’s Blagojevich story is crumbling.
Obama insisted that none of his staff had a part in the attempted selling of his Senate seat by Gov. Blagojevich. “I have never spoken with the governor on this subject. I am confident that no representative of mine would have any part in any deals related to this seat,” Obama said. It appears that Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, has been talking to Blagojevich. The details of those discussions are not yet known.
