Teflon Obama again. Do you really think we are that stupid to believe again that Obama did not know anything. This is becoming a comedy sitcom and I am sitting back watching this. First he did not know the Hatred that Rev. Wright preached. Secomd Obama did not associate with Bill Ayres and Beverly Dohrn. and NOW this. I think Obama has lost alot of respect from the American people even before he takes office and that is not good for this country. We are the laughing stock in the world and I am not laughing. I am afraid.

It's Chicago and just the tip of the iceberg. Where else can you have three governors go down in flames of greed and corruption. A good reporter, could make a career and sell many best sellers just covering the politics of Chicago.

WOW !!! Its amazing how one can get such a great view of Illinois from the flyovers one does between the coasts...

I normally like Susan and find most of her liberal arguments worthy of debate and tolerance. But now, she is just one of the many fooled by the President-elect into thinking he is not cut of the same cloth as Blago....

Two men, both born out of the same political machine do not wind up that far apart on the spectrum of service. The Obamas have done quite well for themselves too.. Michelle and Barry are just smart enough not to get caught saying these things on tape. That's a distinction you could make betwen the two; one's overly crafty and intelligent about deception and one is just not good at it.

Its not just the people of the Great State of Illinois who have to be worried, get moving, and will be ashamed of themselves for their votes...

Boy, do I think that this Illinois Guv Scandal is moving way too fast??? He has not even been indicted yet. so far just a complaint and the release of some very ambiguous tapes and people are getting out the tar and searching for feathers.
In America, our strength is the ability to presume a man innocent until proven guilty. I'm not seeing that happening with Gov. Blagojevich. Guilty, Guilty, Guilty they all shout in the biggest orgy of pre-judging that I have ever seen. No one wants to wait for the truth to emerge. Why is that? Something else is stinking up the place. ???? What is it? How did this investigation first begin? Who wanted the Governor to fall? The Feds don't launch investigations unless they have an informant. WHO?
There is a lot more to the genisis of this investigation, and thereby the motive to bring Blogojevich down than meets the eye. Smart pundits should be asking more about that genesis and less about the tapes.

How did Blago get re-elected? I voted against him. The trouble with Illinois now is that just a few areas of Illinois, such as Chicago, Peoria, Springfield, and East St. Louis have the numbers such that even though a political map of Illinois colored by county looks almost all red, the islands of blue prevail. The only difference between Blago and the rest of the Democratic party machine in northern Illinois is that Blago is unusually arrogant, mentally deranged, and dumb. Other than that, he is a typical Chicago machine politician.
